Not all spill containment systems are built the same. Some struggle with harsher chemicals, while others degrade over time, leaving businesses exposed to unnecessary risk. The Gorilla Bund System from Bunding Solutions is designed for tough, long-term containment, but what exactly can it withstand? And just as importantly, are there any limitations you need to consider?
What is the Gorilla Bund System?
The Gorilla Bund System is a modular, heavy-duty spill containment solution designed for industrial and commercial settings. Its key features include:
A reinforced bund wall for durability
An impermeable liner to prevent leaks
Low-profile walls that allow vehicle access
Modular design to suit different site needs
At the heart of its reliability is the chemical-resistant liner, which determines which substances it can safely contain.
What Chemicals Can the Gorilla Bund Handle?
The Gorilla Bund System is specifically designed to contain a broad range of hazardous substances, including:
Oils and fuels – diesel, petrol, hydraulic fluids
Industrial lubricants – essential for machinery maintenance
Hydrocarbon-based products – common in industrial and energy sectors
Certain acids and alkalis – subject to concentration and exposure time
Chemical waste and water-based contaminants – used across various industries
The 1mm Low Linear Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) liner is key here. Known for its chemical resistance, it ensures that substances stay securely contained, protecting both the environment and your business.
Factors That Affect Chemical Compatibility
While the Gorilla Bund System is impressively versatile, no containment solution is completely universal. A few important factors determine whether it’s the right fit for a particular chemical:
Concentration Matters – A low-concentration acid might be fine, but a highly concentrated version could require additional reinforcement.
Temperature Sensitivity – Some chemicals become more aggressive at higher temperatures, which may impact the liner’s lifespan.
Long-Term Exposure – Even the toughest materials degrade over time, so regular inspections are key.
If you’re dealing with particularly aggressive substances, consulting with Bunding Solutions before installation is always a good idea.
The Gorilla Bund System is engineered to handle a wide variety of hazardous liquids, making it an ideal choice for spill containment in demanding environments. Thanks to its reinforced bund walls and chemical-resistant liner, it provides long-term protection, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
That said, no two chemicals are the same. If you’re unsure whether the Gorilla Bund is the right choice for your specific storage needs, Bunding Solutions' expert team can advise on the best approach. Because when it comes to spill containment, confidence in your system is everything.
