Are you looking for barrels that can store chemicals, food, drugs, etc.? Polyethylene barrels, also known as plastic barrels, are a great choice for you. Here are some things you need to know before you start using polyethylene barrels.
They are perfect for those looking for industrial packaging barrels
When it comes to polyethylene barrels, the first thing you need to know is that they are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE is excellent for those looking for barrels that can withstand industrial demands because they can resist anything with high or low pH values. Their sidewalls are also thick and durable, allowing them to withstand corrosion that is often encountered in industrial facilities.
They are easy to handle
If you decide to use polyethylene barrels in your industrial facility, you must handle them with care. Mishandling polyethylene barrels could cause them to tip over and spill whatever is inside. This can be especially dangerous if there are hazardous substances inside. However, the good news is that polyethylene barrels are quite easy to handle. As long as you avoid rolling them and place them on pallets when moving them, you should have no problem ensuring their safety.
There are options for open-head and tight-head barrels
When you are looking for polyethylene barrels to store materials, you can choose between open-head polyethylene barrels and tight-head polyethylene barrels. As the names suggest, open-head barrels have lids that can be removed by a barrel wrench, while tight-head barrels have lids that stay in place. Both are good choices for those looking for steel barrels, but you should consider what you will be storing inside before deciding which one is suitable for you.
There are still many companies that use 55-gallon drums when moving and storing materials, especially hazardous liquids. While this may not necessarily be the worst idea in the world, you should know that it is not your only option. IBC totes can also be used to ship and store many of the same liquids, and there are many benefits to using them. Take a closer look at some of the advantages below.
They are easier to transport
When you use drums to transport liquids, these drums usually need to be placed on pallets or shrink-wrapped to prevent spills. You don't need to worry about this with IBC totes. These totes can hold just as much as drums and they can be moved freely without the need for expensive pallets or the time-consuming process of shrink-wrapping all the packaging.
They are reusable
While some drums can be used multiple times, many drums need to be discarded after a single use. On the other hand, IBC totes can be used multiple times before they need to be replaced. In the long run, this will save you money.
They can reduce product waste
When you unload from an IBC tote, you will be able to get all the liquid inside the tote. This is not always the case with regular drums. Residual liquids often accumulate inside drums and remain there. This leads to product waste, which is not a problem when you rely on IBC totes.
