Matters attention

Attention of handling drums

1)Please confirm material compatibility.

Please carry out practical compatibility tests using real steel drums before any
improved contents or new types of contents are filled.
Causticity of contents may change if any additive or amount is altered.
Caustic content may corrode steel and cause leaks.

3)Attentions for stocking empty drums

Drums should be kept inside as a rule.(Steel: the main material of drums could rust away easily if carelessly kept.)

When storing, please avoid high-temperature, humidity, and corrosion.

As a standard, please fill the drum within 14 days after production dates.                          Long-term storage may cause rust due to different temperatures and frost inside
   the drums. Please do not open or keep plugs loosen before filling.(Dust and humidity
       may go into the drums.)

2)Features of steel drums

The chemical treatment (iron phosphating) is a primary coating designed for painting
processes. This coat is antirust effective only for a short time, which is not originally
designed for long-term rust prevention.

Steel drums are not high-pressure containers.

Extreme deformations or pokes caused by dropping or shocking may cause leaks to
the drums.

Please wear gloves when handling drums.

4)Attentions for filling and storage.

Please tighten the plugs with appropriate torques. if the torque is too loose, drums
could leak.

If the torque is too strong, gaskets and plugs could be damaged and elasticity of
gaskets may decrease.

Tightening torques of different type closures are different.
Please feel free to contact us for details.

In case that content with high temperature has to be filled, please tighten the plugs at
as normal temperature as possible.

The shrinkage caused by big temperature difference may deform the drums.

Please keep the drums inside after being filled.
