The entire range is UN-approved and has been tested to comply with strict regulations for the safe storage and transportation of substances such as hazardous chemicals. This means our drums are ideally suited for transporting and storing liquids with aggressive properties and are used in a variety of industries where safety and reliability are essentail. Current industry applications include paint and coatings, solvents, oils and aggressive chemicals. Mild steel is a malleable, weldable and more ductile material than many other metals. However, it’s also strong, pliable and has a high resistance to breaking under tension. Mild steel is magnetic thanks to its high iron and ferrite content. We offer a range of mild steel grade products and grades, depending on your project's requirements. For example, EN 1.0301 has excellent weldability and is typically used in automotive equipment, appliances and furniture. On the other hand. EN1.1121 has high ductility so it can hold its shape and is pliable when being drilled or cut. Our metal drums are available in open-top, tighthead and screw cap options. Sizes range from 25 litres to 210 litres with lacquered and plain internal finishes to choose from. Plain interiors are suited to storing solvent-based products such as paints, oils, powders and resins. Lacquered interiors are suited for storing water-based products that include paints, resins and adhesives. Due to its affordability, it’s a popular building material used in frames, furniture, machinery parts, semi-permanent structures, gating and fencing. While you can use galvanising spray for touch-ups and covering chips, it can corrode if not properly primed and painted.
