Hydrochloric acid is something you don’t really want down your drains. In fact, there are quite a few liquids that you don’t want gushing – or even trickling – into stormwater. Neither does the EPA.

Covering up nearby drains every time you do a machinery wash-down, transfer fuels or other liquids, or do any leak-prone job, can get tiresome.

The good news is you neither have to keep temporarily covering them up nor permanently seal your drains.

Our DrainBlockers are designed to block a variety of different liquids. They also stop solid items from finding their way off your floor and into stormwater.

Like all New Pig products, DrainBlockers are tough. How tough? Here's a list of “nasties” DrainBlocker will protect your drains (and pocket) from:

• acetone
• antifreeze
• chlorine standard solution (1,000ppm)
• ethanol (95%)
• hydraulic fluid
• hydrochloric acid (18.5%)
• hydrogen peroxide (30%)
• isopropyl alcohol
• chlorine bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite)
• sodium hydroxide (40%)
• sulphuric acid (50%)
• xylene

You can find more info on Drain Blockers here – both the general one and super-tough one heavy machinery can drive over. No matter your industry or business type, DrainBlockers have you (and your drains) covered; whether for spill response or prevention or both.
