TOUGH. STACKABLE. READY FOR THE LINE.
Sealed Top & Spout for Spill-Resistant Liquids
Tight-head plastic pails have a permanently sealed top with a molded spout, so liquids pour under control and resist spilling in transit. You trade full-open access for a package that will not slosh out of an unlatched lid.

Overview
A closed-top HDPE pail for liquids that need a sealed, spill-resistant package with spout dispensing. Threaded spout and vent fitting options handle flow rate and glugging, and the sealed top rules it out for solids.
✓
90-mil construction stands up to products that corrode metal.

HDPE will not rust, so no interior lining is needed for water-based chemistries.

Virgin FDA-compliant resin available across the plastic pail range.

How to spec yours
Provide the formulation, intended fill, density, temperature and contact duration.
Specify the required opening, closure, seal and discharge connection for the process.
A tight head limits access for cleaning and removal of viscous contents. Confirm the opening, closure seal and handling conditions on the selected design.
