Chemical Storage Containers
Chemical storage containers are ideal to store and transport bulk chemicals and materials that are both hazardous and non-hazardous. They are sturdy and are able to withstand abrasions and punctures.
Store flammable liquids and organic solvents separately. Acids should be stored away from bases. Also, separate gases into their own storage areas (oxidizing gas cylinders from flammable gas). Keep compressed gas cylinders out of reach from sources of heat.
Stainless Steel IBC Tote
IBC Totes made of stainless steel are designed to transport and store bulk liquids powders, granules and liquids. They are containers that are a middle ground between small containers and industrial tanks.

IBC totes are designed to be robust and stable to ensure the safety of handlers and the environment. They are designed to comply with industry standards and regulations. This provides an extra layer of protection for their contents. This is especially important for companies that are focused on workplace safety and environmental sustainability.
With a standard base dimension of 42" 48", IBC tanks have the capacity to be stacked over one another which maximizes storage space. This space-saving design also aids in reducing costs by cutting down on the floor space required in warehouses as well as on transportation vehicles.
Stainless steel IBCs can be modified with various fittings such as valves, lids, and liners to meet the specific requirements of your business. This customization is especially beneficial for businesses with specialized applications or work setups, which require special equipment to ensure safe handling of products and materials.
Standard stainless steel IBC tanks have heavy duty 10 gauge steel shell with a 2" slopped bottom for drainage and to eliminate heel (cargo residue), the 2" stainless steel ball valve with an EPDM gasket on the 22" manway and a 3'' Rieke or Fusible automatic pressure release vent. On request, customized options such as camlock quick connect couplings, off-set valves that are angled, or other customized options can be made to meet your specific requirements.
The slopped bottom to the inner tank and a standard 2'' bung allows for quick and efficient draining, cleaning, and refilling. A slanted cap is included to make it easier to access the tank and also protect its contents. The standard IBC has an assortment of stacking lugs for lifting and leg positioners that provide forklift and pallet jack accessibility. Insulation blankets of custom sizes are available on request to improve temperature maintenance and protection of corrosive and temperature-sensitive cargo.
IBC Tote made of polyethylene
The plastic IBC tote comes with many benefits. It is suitable to store and transport various substances, including dry chemical, liquids materials, granular materials, and powders. These containers are designed to prevent contamination by preventing air and moisture from reaching their contents. This helps to prevent the degradation of the product, saving businesses money. Additionally, the design of IBC totes allows for easy access and discharge using a built-in valve or nozzle.
The IBC tote can be easily cleaned, which is important for containers containing potentially hazardous substances or foods. They are easy to clean and sterilized by steamer or pressure washer. Additionally, the construction of these containers is sturdy enough to stand up to harsh environmental conditions.
Depending on the intended application and use, IBC totes are available in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs. Rigid plastic IBC totes are molded from high-density polyethylene, which is safe for a range of applications and substances. These containers come in a range of capacities that range from 275 to 332 US gallons. They can also be double-stacked during transportation. Galvanized steel caged IBC Totes are also available for industrial applications. They are made from carbon steel and are coated with a protective galvanized coating to prevent corrosion.
Caged IBC totes are commonly used for storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous chemical substances, as well as beverage and food products. They can be stacked up to four and feature a drain valve built-in to reduce the amount of product that remains after emptying. This helps to save space in distribution centers, and makes them easier to handle for manual operation.
IBC totes are also used by many people to decorate their home and gardens. By cutting the sides and adding doors, you can repurpose them as a hutch for the rabbit. These containers can be used to store organic waste and compost. These containers are ideal to store water for livestock. northern containers use them as a sustainable and sustainable alternative to traditional rain barrels.
Polypropylene IBC Tote
If your company deals with various liquids and chemicals, you require containers that are sturdy enough to take on the task. IBC totes (intermediate bulk containers) are industrial-grade, rigid vessels that are designed with chemical storage and transportation in mind. These containers can be made out of a variety of materials, including plastic and stainless steel. These containers come in various sizes and shapes. Some types of IBCs can handle liquids, while others are more suited for solids, such as powders and Granules.
Poly composite IBCs have become popular with companies who need a reusable container to store non-hazardous materials. These containers are made from high-density polyethylene that can withstand a wide range of conditions. They are resistant to corrosion, which is useful when you store chemical substances that are abrasive or that can harm metal. Caged IBCs are also suitable for hazardous substances. Their caged structure helps contain volatile chemicals, preventing spills and explosions.
IBCs made of stainless steel are more efficient in the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals such as flammable fluids and corrosive materials. These IBCs can endure high temperatures and are often equipped with vents that allow vapors to escape during an incident. They can be used to store various liquids, such as industrial chemicals, paints and dyes, lubricants, and pharmaceuticals.
Some IBC containers come with a valve, nozzle or hose adapter, which allows them to be used to mix and dispensing. This lets you easily dispensing your items without having to open the container, which can aid in ensuring worker safety and prevent spills or accidents that could cause damage to your facility or even harm wildlife.
Many farmers use IBC totes for storage and transport of water to their livestock. These totes can also be used to water plants and gardens as well as for drinking and washing. However, it is important to make sure that any used IBC tanks or totes you buy are food-safe. If they were previously used to store dangerous chemicals, they could leach into the water and make it unsafe for livestock or pets.
Polyethylene Spill Tray
A polyethylene spill tray is a must-have device for storing small containers of chemicals. They prevent liquids from escaping when liquid transfer occurs and then ending up on the floor of the workplace or polluting the environment. They can be easily stored and stacked in chemical storage areas to increase safety and hygiene.
Spill trays are available in different sizes and capacities to accommodate the type and size of liquids handled at your workplace. They are shallow and robust and can be used to contain spills or leaks that can occur in industrial processes.
