4 Reasons to Choose Steel Drums for Your Packaging Needs

Businesses require industrial packaging solutions that meet stringent safety, durability, and sustainability standards due to the complexities of material transported and stored. North Coast Container (NCC) manufactures steel drums that deliver adaptable industrial packaging solutions for a wide range of products and industries.

The Versatility and Reliability of Steel Drums

Steel drums are essential for safe, efficient, and sustainable logistics across diverse industries. Here's how their design and material can benefit your business.

  1. Safety: In industries where accidents and exposure to hazardous materials can have dire consequences, steel drums provide a secure barrier. Their sturdy construction and reliability ensure the safe transportation and storage of a wide range of products, such as chemicals and hazardous waste, minimizing the chance of leaks or spills.
  2. Durability: Shipping containers need to be able to withstand transportation challenges without compromising the integrity of their contents. This is where steel drums excel – maintaining their form and function across long distances, through varying environmental conditions, and when faced with the physical demands of loading and unloading.
  3. Sustainability: As businesses increasingly prioritize eco-friendly practices, the recyclability of steel drums is appealing. Their ability to be reconditioned and reused aligns with sustainable development goals, reducing waste and encouraging a circular economy.
  4. Compliance: Navigating industry regulations is a daunting task for any business. Steel drums are designed to meet and exceed international standards, including maximum UN/DOT performance ratings, ensuring that companies like yours remain compliant while transporting even the most challenging materials.

A Solution for Every Material

The adaptability of steel drums to various materials is perhaps their biggest advantage. NCC's steel drums' unique design features, which include a variety of interior coatings, closures, and gaskets, are engineered to carry an extensive range of products, from chemicals and petroleum products to food, pharmaceuticals, and hazardous materials.

Chemicals and Petroleum Products

For industries handling chemicals and petroleum, the chemical resistance and fire protection offered by steel drums are critical. They can withstand extreme temperatures, maintain their integrity, and, with relieving style closures, prevent internal pressure build-up during emergencies. This makes them superior for transporting flammable and combustible ladings safely.

Food and Pharmaceuticals

When it comes to food and pharmaceuticals, purity and sterility are non-negotiable. Steel drums can be sterilized before and after each use, ensuring no contamination or retention of previous contents. With vermin-proof design and the ability to maintain stacking strength in any environment, they are ideal for preserving the integrity of sensitive products.

Hazardous Waste

The disposal and transport of hazardous waste require caution and compliance with environmental regulations. Steel drums provide a secure containment solution, capable of handling difficult ladings with their maximum UN/DOT performance ratings. Their durability and safety features ensure that hazardous materials are managed responsibly, reducing environmental impact.
