A 5 litre pole type plastic container (5 Litre Pole) for chemicals, also offered for edible oil. It is a natural white, rectangular can with a moulded carry handle on top and a red cap at the opposite top corner. The Chemical Containers range comes in three grades. XLPE suits the most aggressive chemicals, such as strong acids, alkalis and oxidizers; it is made by a patented process, designed for a very wide service temperature range, impact resilient and offers the highest corrosion protection. HDPE suits normal acids and general chemicals, and MDPE, made from standard PE, suits mild chemicals and food contact applications. All three are seamless; XLPE and HDPE are maintenance free with long life, and MDPE has moderate life.
