Where you can buy our

products

Empteezy Ltd celebrates 30 years of manufacturing in 2016 From humble beginnings in East Calder, Scotland, UK in 1986, Empteezy Ltd is

an industry leader in the manufacture and supply of environmental safety and

storage solutions. The company started with the manufacture of

auto-dumping containers as a safer way of emptying waste.

Soon after, the company grew to

manufacture other items to both

help solve environmental problems,

and to ensure a more secure

workplace. Further expansion and

diversification has been achieved by

the acquisition of other

manufacturing plants and companies

throughout Europe, extending the

market for Empteezy products. Tied

to this are our long-standing distributorship agreements with market leader,

Justrite Manufacturing Co LLC (USA), Speakman Safety Products (USA), and

Chemisafe (Italy).

We at Empteezy UAE fze are proud to

be part of the Empteezy Group that has

representation and customers like you all

over the world, keeping our local

environments clean for generations to

come!

Made in Scotland, UK To supplement our core business of steel containment solutions made at Empteezy

Ltd, the range of products supplied by the Empteezy Group of Companies

includes polyethylene sump pallets and sump flooring. Designed using high-density

UV polyethylene, these products are rotationally

moulded to the highest specification by Romold

growing in response to demand from customers

for more affordable and durable polyethylene

products.

absorbent products. The absorbents are made using polypropylene micro-fibres that are

double-woven to provide a durable absorption surface for many

applications. These extend from oil clean-up to chemical

clean-up and general maintenance. The products are tested

using stringent quality methods to ensure that they are suitable

for the material being absorbed.

Additionally, Delahaye Industries, the largest manufacturers of steel containment products in

France services the needs of our Southern European customers.

Kits and Mercury Spill Kits, ideal for those working in

laboratories and in the healthcare sector.

Additionally, we can provide bigger spill kits more suited

for industrial uses. These are comprised of our range of

absorbent products, for example, booms, cushions and

pads and can be custom-made to suit the application. We

offer products for these applications: hydrophobic (repels

water); general purpose; and chemical.

Spill kits, including OPA 90 kits, are made up from our

bulk stock holding of absorbents and produced to order in

the UAE.

Berms

Berms are quite a new, unique product range which we offer from Justrite®. They are a portable solution to capture

spills that may arise through everyday activity and unexpected leakage. They also provide a temporary storage

solution for hazardous chemicals, oils and/or paints. Normally manufactured from a PVC coated fabric, this range

comes with the patented rigid lock deployment, that provides support to the installation. Easily cleaned down for

re-use at a later stage, berms are particularly useful for emergency deployment due to their quick and easy set-up

with no assembly required. Simply fold-out the berm over the designated area and you have an instantly usable

workspace.

Containment Booms

Permanent Booms are robust and hard-wearing

with foam-filled HDPE (high density polyethylene)

floats providing flexibility in the boom. Permanent

booms can contain not only hydrocarbons, but

floating waste as well, making them ideal for use

in harbours and coastal locations.

Fence Booms are lightweight and easy to use,

these portable booms take up little storage space.

The booms are portable, can be stored on a reel

and are good for shallow areas, rather than deep

sea deployment.

Air Booms are more suitable for open waters due

to their buoyancy. These booms are easy to

transport, often by air, to the location of the spill.

Manufactured from Polyurethane and Neoprene.

Permanent Booms are UV resistant. They are

quick to set up and easy to deploy. Manufactured

from PVC or natural rubber with variable drafts.

Air Booms are UV

resistant and chemical

resistant to acids and

alkalis, solvents and

hydrocarbons. They

have a ratio of 30:1

buoyancy to weight.

A complete range of skimmers, pumps and power packs

available to complement containment boom products.

Laboratory Safety Showers and Eye-Wash Units

With an assortment of products directly suited to looking after the safety of any

of your employees working with hazardous substances, Speakman® showers

and eye-wash units are a necessity in your workplace.

Safety showers can be plumbed, or purchased as portable units. Portable units

are particularly suitable for places where there is no access to a potable water

source as they do not need to plumbing. Showers can be offered with a

hands-free foot treadle option for a direct deluge of water.

Emergency eye wash stations are a quick

way to flush out any harmful chemicals or

solvents from the infected area. The

impellor action of the flow, softens the

water and provides an effective drench for

the eyes.

Showers can be ordered as combination

units to include a basin and eye wash

station. Basins come in both stainless

steel or ABS plastic, which are specified

relevant to your application.

A pull-down lever on the

shower unit offers a fast and

water flow, ensuring that a

wash down is achieved

within time critical moments.
