Product Overview

The Lab Spill Containment Dike Tabletop from UltraTech is a flexible, reusable urethane barrier designed to create instant spill containment on flat laboratory surfaces. Measuring 4 feet long with a 1-inch wide by 3/4-inch high profile, this orange dike can be shaped around equipment, instruments, or work areas on benchtops, fume hood floors, and countertops to contain small chemical spills and drips before they spread. The urethane construction resists a broad range of laboratory chemicals including acids, bases, and solvents. At just 2 lbs, the dike is highly portable and can be repositioned as work areas change. Multiple dikes can be connected end-to-end for longer containment perimeters. The bright orange color provides immediate visibility for safety awareness. A dedicated storage case (A2104LTU) is available separately for organized transport and storage of multiple dikes.

Expert Insights

When selecting the Lab Spill Containment Dike Tabletop, consider the flexibility it offers over rigid lab trays. Unlike fixed-dimension trays, this 4-foot urethane dike can be shaped into any configuration — circles, rectangles, or irregular shapes — to match your exact containment needs around specific instruments or bottle clusters. The 3/4-inch height is designed for tabletop drip and splash containment rather than large-volume spills. For higher-volume containment, use this dike in combination with a lab tray underneath for redundant protection. The urethane material is more chemically resistant than standard rubber and won't degrade from incidental UV exposure. Multiple dikes can be joined for longer perimeters, and the dedicated Storage Case (A2104LTU) holds dikes up to 10 feet long. If you need fixed containment instead, consider the grated UltraTech Lab Trays (A1060LTU for 17" or A1061LTU for 21") or the flat Eagle trays (A1677YLTE/A1677BLTE for 18"x36").

Lab Spill Containment Dike Tabletop, Orange | Spill Containment & Secondary Containment

Why Spill Containment Dikes Matter

EPA SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112) require facilities that store, transfer, or process oil to implement secondary containment measures capable of holding the entire contents of the largest container plus precipitation. Flexible spill containment dikes provide a cost-effective, rapidly deployable alternative to permanent concrete berms — without the construction cost, lead time, or floor space limitations.

Who Buys Spill Containment Dikes

EHS managers, facility maintenance supervisors, and environmental compliance officers at refineries, chemical plants, tank farms, power generation facilities, and manufacturing operations order spill containment dikes for SPCC compliance and spill prevention. Construction contractors use them around fuel storage and equipment staging areas. Military installations and government facilities specify them for fuel and hazmat operations.

Purchased by EHS coordinators, environmental compliance managers, facility maintenance supervisors, safety directors, and procurement teams. All products backed by AbsorbentsOnline’s 40+ years of industrial safety expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lab Spill Containment Dike Tabletop, Orange

How do I shape the dike around equipment?

The flexible urethane material bends easily by hand. Simply press it into position around instruments, bottles, or work areas on any flat surface.

Can multiple dikes be connected for longer containment?

Yes, dikes can be placed end-to-end to create longer containment perimeters. The Storage Case (A2104LTU) holds dikes up to 10 feet long.

What chemicals can the urethane withstand?

Urethane resists most common laboratory chemicals including acids, bases, solvents, and reagents. Check compatibility for specialty chemicals.

Is this a replacement for a lab tray?

It serves a different purpose — the dike creates flexible, custom-shaped containment borders on existing surfaces, while trays provide rigid, self-contained sumps with defined volumes.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • We use the interlocking dikes around our generator sets during refueling operations. Setup takes less than two minutes — the quick-connect ends snap together and the whole crew knows how to deploy them. We've had two minor diesel spills contained completely within the dike perimeter. The inspector was impressed.

  • These connectable dikes replaced the concrete berms we were planning to pour around our transformer pad. Saved us thousands in construction costs and we can reconfigure them when the equipment layout changes. Forklifts drive right over them without any issues. Very happy with this purchase.

    Carlos T. — EHS Manager, Chemical Manufacturing

    Verified Buyer
  • Ordered the dike carry case along with a set of interlocking dikes for our mobile spill response kit. Keeps everything organized and protected in the truck. Only wish they made a larger case for storing multiple sets — but the quality of both the dikes and the case is excellent.
