Chemical Drum FAQ
Q: What types of chemicals can be stored in your Chemical Drums?
A: Our Chemical Drums are suitable for storing various liquids including acids, alkalis, solvents, and petroleum-based products. The specific chemical compatibility depends on the drum material - polyethylene drums resist most acids and solvents, while stainless steel drums are ideal for corrosive chemicals and high-temperature applications. Always consult our chemical compatibility chart before selecting a drum for specific chemicals.
Q: How should I properly clean and maintain my Chemical Drum?
A: For polyethylene Chemical Drums, use mild detergents and water with appropriate PPE. Never use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers above 60 psi. Steel drums require different cleaning methods depending on their lining. Always triple-rinse drums when changing chemical contents and follow proper disposal procedures for rinse water. Store empty drums with lids removed in well-ventilated areas away from direct sunlight.
Q: What certification standards do your Chemical Drums meet?
A: All our Chemical Drums meet or exceed UN/DOT 49 CFR standards for hazardous material transport. Additional certifications include ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. Many models are also UL recognized and FDA compliant for specific applications. Certifications vary by model and material - please check individual product specifications.
