Recommended Uses
150g 5lt Container: Ideal for lighter, less aggressive liquids and chemicals. If your product doesn’t need extra protection but still requires a reliable, UN-approved container, the 150g option is perfect for cost-effective storage and transport.
180g 5lt Container: Designed for more demanding applications. If you’re dealing with heavier, more aggressive chemicals or need extra durability for rough handling or long-distance transport, the 180g container offers that additional layer of strength and security.
On our 25lt containers the following applies:
Lower Weight (950g – 1050g)
