[RE-wrenches] PSR SCT

Hi Todd and all,
    We use products from US Plastics. They make great, acid resistant
trays in lengths up to four feet. Here's the link to a page where you
can find some of their products. They have an extensive website, so
look around a bit. You can spend a lot ($300+) or a little, depending
on what you need. I have been using them for years with no issues. One
note, be sure to get the measurements of the bottom, not the top rim
as the walls typically flare out and the given dimensions can differ
from the actual footprint.

> Hey Todd -
>
>
>
> The company we used to make the spill containment trays has been having
> severe delivery and quality problems for a long time and we unfortunately
> had to just drop the product.   We had a lot of problems with the plastic
> being too fragile due to the thin wall thickness used.  It needs a
> complete redesign and possibly different material.
>
>
>
> My favorite solution is to use before we offered the spill containment
> trays was using EPDM type rubber pond liner sheet and just folding the
> corners (sort of like wrapping a Christmas presents) inside of the
> enclosure.  The upper edges can be screwed or stapled to the sides to keep
> it from sliding down - although if the liner is heavy enough its not
> really an issue.

> I hope this helps!
