Cold-rolled steel pails carry the products that defeat plastic: solvents, coatings, and regulated hazardous materials. The steel body grounds for flammable transfer, takes a rust-inhibitive lining, and survives handling that would crack a resin pail.
The strongest 5-gallon package Novvia stocks, available in UN 1A2 rated constructions with matched lids. Interior linings are specified to your chemistry, and the pails are reconditionable and fully recyclable at end of life.
Cold-rolled steel body survives drops, stacking, and rough plant handling.
Rated constructions available for regulated liquids and solids in transport.
Conductive steel body bonds and grounds during solvent transfer.
Rust-inhibitive and epoxy phenolic linings matched to your chemistry.

Match the interior lining to your product's pH, solvent content, and contact time.
Confirm whether your classification needs a 1A2 rated pail and its certified lid.
Open head for solids and viscous product, tight head for sealed liquids.
Steel adds strength and freight weight; compare against HDPE for your lane.
Steel pails carry solvents, coatings, adhesives, and UN-rated hazardous materials. The steel body handles products that would soften, swell, or permeate a plastic pail, and it can be grounded during flammable transfer.
UN 1A2 rated constructions are available for regulated liquids and solids. The rating covers the pail and its certified lid together, and must be matched to your product's packing group and specific gravity.
It depends on the product. Water-based, acidic, and caustic chemistries will corrode bare steel, so a rust-inhibitive or epoxy phenolic lining is specified to the chemistry and contact time.
Steel pails can often be cleaned, inspected, and returned to service depending on previous contents and condition. They are also fully recyclable at end of life.
Filled pails generally stack three to four high, though the limit depends on contents, wall thickness, lid style, and storage conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's stacking and weight instructions.
