Frequently Asked Questions
Plastic Drums
Drums serve as reliable containers for chemicals like acids, bases, solvents, and cleaning agents, ensuring safe containment during storage and transportation. Additionally, various lubricants, oils, and greases utilized in automotive, industrial, and machinery applications find suitable storage in plastic drums. In the food industry, food-grade plastic drums are essential for storing edible oils, syrups, sauces, flavorings, and other food products, maintaining hygiene and quality standards.
The removable cover or lid of an Open Head Drum allows for easy and frequent access to the stored materials, making it ideal for substances that require regular sampling, mixing, or dispensing. This accessibility is particularly beneficial for bulkier materials or those with high viscosity, as the wider opening facilitates easier filling and dispensing, reducing the risk of spills or accidents. Additionally, the open design enables visual inspection of the contents, aiding in quality control and quick identification.
In many cases, the color choices for plastic drums do align with specific industry standards or regulations, particularly in industries where color coding is used for safety or identification purposes. For example, in the pharmaceutical or food industries, there may be guidelines specifying certain colors for containers used to store different types of products to prevent cross-contamination or ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Similarly, in the hazardous materials or chemical industries, color-coded containers may be used to indicate the type of substance contained within and to communicate important safety information to handlers. While these color standards or regulations may not be universally mandated, they are often adopted voluntarily by manufacturers and users to promote consistency and safety in the handling and storage of materials.
