23 × 17 cm Compact Drip Pan – 1.7 Litre

A genuinely compact, deep-sided drip pan for catching small but persistent drips beneath taps, dispensers, valves, laboratory items and benchtop equipment.

What Is This Drip Tray Designed For?

Its short footprint fits into confined spaces, while the 6 cm depth gives more useful liquid retention than the longer but shallower 15 cm-wide mini trays.

Positioning a correctly sized drip tray beneath a known leak source helps contain liquid at source, protects surrounding floors and makes routine housekeeping easier. It should be inspected and emptied before collected liquid reaches the usable capacity.

Typical Uses

• beneath small taps, valves and dosing points
• under soap, oil or chemical dispensers
• for laboratory bottles and small containers
• as a contained area for wet components, brushes or tools

Why Choose This Size?

Choose this tray where depth matters more than length. The 35 × 15 cm mini tray is longer and lower, making it better for narrow low-clearance installations.

Always measure the complete equipment or container footprint rather than relying only on its nominal width. Allow for feet, projecting fittings, hoses and the likely direction of any drip or spray.

Material and Liquid Compatibility

The tray is manufactured from recycled polypropylene, a durable, non-rusting material used for many everyday spill-containment applications. It is suitable for many oils, coolants, water-based liquids and commonly handled chemicals, but compatibility depends on the exact substance, concentration and temperature.

Check chemical compatibility before use. A drip tray is a secondary containment aid; it does not replace risk assessment, safe storage, suitable absorbents or a purpose-designed bund where legislation or site procedures require one.

Cleaning and Use

Remove collected liquid using a method appropriate to the substance. Wipe or rinse the tray after use and inspect it for damage before returning it to service. Do not mix incompatible liquids, and dispose of contaminated liquid and cleaning materials in accordance with site procedures and applicable waste requirements.
