The chemical industry requires efficient and reliable storage options that can handle both hazardous and non-hazardous materials. Orlando Drum is proud to supply the Chemical Industry with reconditioned drums and tote tanks that can meet their demands.
The use of intermediate bulk containers and steel or plastic drums in the chemical industry is widespread; each container can fulfill specific roles depending on the task or chemicals being handled. Choosing the right container is crucial for the safe storage, transportation, and dispensing of various chemical products.
Drums: made from reconditioned steel or plastic, they come in various sizes and are great for holding a variety of substances. In the chemical industry, they’re used for smaller quantities and materials needing airtight storage. They stack easily and are perfect for distributing controlled amounts.
IBCs: usually plastic or metal, intermediate bulk containers are used for safely storing and transporting large quantities of chemicals, hazardous or otherwise. IBCs are also reusable, which helps with sustainability and saving on costs.
The combination of IBCs and drums in the chemical industry ensures that companies can choose the best storage solution based on their specific needs while also balancing safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
