Increasing trend of secure packaging solutions for industrial packaging to boost the demand for plastic drums market
Plastic drums are used for the storage and transportation of industrial products. The plastic drums are industrial-grade containers made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). High-Density Polyethylene is an incredibly malleable, yet rigid material that can withstand high temperatures and many hazardous chemicals. A plastic drum is a spherical barrel commonly in blue color for easy identification.
Plastic drums are available in a wide range of sizes, which allows them to meet different industrial needs on both a small and large scale. Plastic drums generally range in size from small 30-litre barrels up to large 220-litre barrels. There are two main types of plastic drums open-head plastic drums and tight-head plastic drums. These plastic drums are leakproof, moisture resistant and odourless. Plastic drum are preferred as they are more efficient, reliable and long-lasting.
Plastic drums are used for the storage of industrial goods like chemicals, solvents, liquids, oils, grains, food ingredients, sands, pharmaceuticals, etc. Plastic drums offer several advantages which include re-usability and cost-efficiency, leading to their wide range of applications. Plastic drums are ideal for storing and transporting a wide range of bulk products including pastes, creams, granules and solids The following are the features of the plastic drums that make them more useful-
Food grade and UN-certified plastic drums are used for food & beverages and hazardous chemicals industries. Plastic drums are specifically designed with handles and some of them have strong closures for better handling and protection of the filling products. Thus plastic drums are majorly used for petrochemicals material.
Also, the manufacturer of plastic cans offers a wide range of barrels such as RC HDPE Drum, HDPE Cross Neck Jerry Can, and HDPE Square Can in various sizes. Manufacturers in the plastic drums market are also looking for certifications to provide the highest level of food safety.
Drums are rigid or semi-rigid cylindrical containers that are generally used for shipping and storage of liquid items. Drums are classified in three types on the basis of materials they are made with metal, fiber, and plastics. Plastic drums are lighter in weight than metal drums and can be kept in open conditions without the risk of rusting.
Plastic drums are generally used for storing hazardous chemicals and goods because they are resistant to inert low pH levels. Plastic drums provide UV protection and do not leak easily that make them adequate for industrial, household and commercial purposes. Plastic drums have a wide range of end-use industry applications such as Agriculture, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Petroleum, Household, etc. Plastic drums are easy to handle, simple to empty and fill thus; they are appropriate for logistics and transportation.
Plastics are malleable hence plastic drums can be efficiently designed meeting the particular shape and size for the specific application. Moreover, plastic drums are easy to recycle which gives them an edge over other types of drums. Some of the plastic drums are biodegradable and can be easily decomposed by microorganisms which in turn make them amiable to the environment. In addition, plastic drums can easily be reconditioned for reuse which makes them cost efficient.
