Hazmat - Yellow Pillows

Highly absorbent pillows and socks filled with a universal yellow polypropylene fiber that is able to handle aggressive liquids such as acids and caustics. The socks and pillows are also used a protective packaging to ship hazardous material according to 49CFR and DOT regulations.

The bright yellow cover stock is an easy visible cue for “caution”, and should alert others and the user to exercise caution when dealing with possibly hazardous materials.
Also, when used in conjunction with a structured spill response plan, the yellow color can signify the type of liquid to absorb, or to be used to avoid commingling when disposing for the used sorbents.

For an example, the yellow can be used to capture one type of aggressive liquid like Bleach, green used to capture Chlorine and gray for Ammonia that may not be react well with other captured liquids. Such as the yellow could capture Bleach and the green sorbents capture Ammonia. You would not want to dispose of the sorbents in the same container, so a color coding system would be used to state that yellow is to be dispose of in container one, and green in container two and gray in container three.
