A Guide to AdBlue Spill Kits | UK Spill Safety Guide

AdBlue Spill Kits and Why Do They Matter?

We’ve developed a purpose-built line of AdBlue spill kits tailored to different volumes, locations, and industries.

AdBlue, also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is a non-toxic, non-flammable solution made from 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% demineralised water. It's used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems on diesel vehicles to convert harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapour.

Why You Need a Dedicated AdBlue Spill Kit

While AdBlue is classified as low risk, improper handling or accidental spillage can still pose significant environmental and safety hazards:

Contamination of soil and water systems
Crystallisation leading to slip risks
Costly clean-up and operational delays

FyterTech’s AdBlue spill kits are engineered to tackle these problems head-on. Whether you're operating a haulage fleet, managing a service station, or storing bulk DEF on-site, having the right spill response kit is essential for compliance.

Environmental Compliance and Safety

Keeping an AdBlue spill kit on-site helps you meet your environmental duty of care under UK pollution prevention guidelines. It also helps avoid violations under the Environmental Protection Act and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH).
