Polyethylene Safety Cans

Choose Type I Nonmetallic HDPE (polyethylene) Safety Cans for dent and chemical resistance. Cans are inert so they standup to tough acids and corrosives, and heat, and they're priced lower than stainless steel.

All Justrite polyethylene safety cans are manufactured with unique conductive current-carrying carbon insert imbedded into rib of the container as a ground path between the cover assembly and the flame arrester in the spout. When used with a grounding strip, this provides proper grounding and prevents the creation of an arc during filling or pouring. The self-close cap, pressure relief mechanism and dual-density flame arrester work together to prevent ignition sources from entering without restricting liquid flow in or out of the can. Choose economical plated steel hardware or stainless steel for greater chemical resistance. Oval Polyethylene Safety Cans for smaller quantities increase shelf storage capacity by 30%. FM approved.

Choose Type I Nonmetallic HDPE Safety Cans for dent and chemical resistance. Eagle Type I High Density Polyethylene Safety Cans help reduce the danger of explosions resulting from ignition of vapors of flammable liquids.

These polyethylene safety cans are impact resistant, non-corroding, and will not rust. They are impervious to many liquid chemicals, solvents, and corrosives. Resistance charts are available upon request. Metal fittings and flame arrestor are made of stainless steel. Cans meet OSHA requirements. FM approved. Choose Red to indicate that the contents are Flammable and White to indicate that the contents are corrosive.

Polyethylene Safety Can Chemical Compatibility Guide

Polyethylene Lab Cans have all the benefits of Justrite's Type I polyethylene safety cans, with the addition of a self-closing faucet for easy dispensing. All fill spouts have a pressure relief cap with flame arrester, and 5-gallon models also feature a built-in vacuum breaker. Justrite's unique current-carrying carbon insert imbedded into the container allows for proper grounding. Choose Type I Nonmetallic Safety Cans when dent and chemical resistance are most important.

Nonmetallic Shelf Cans have a faucet that is mounted two inches above the bottom to eliminate lifting the cans during dispensing.
Nonmetallic Tilt Cans have faucet on top and the can rests in a sturdy metal cradle.

Justrite's Red Liquid Disposal Cans with flame arrestor are made of HDPE for superior chemical resistance and leak protection. Large, strategically placed opening offers controlled filling and pouring during disposal. Fixed position on handle allows lid to stay open for easy pouring. When closed, the cap automatically vents at between 3 and 5 psig. Choose economical plated steel hardware or stainless steel for greater chemical resistance. JP-14724 has built-in polyethylene drum fill gauge to warn you that the container is almost full.

Self-close Corrosive Containers constructed of translucent, high density polyethylene are specifically designed to resist acids and caustics. Spring-close cap provides a tight seal. Flame arrester-free spout allows quick pouring of non-flammable corrosives. Oval containers make the most of storage capacity and are marked in liters, quarts and gallons to permit accurate filling and dispensing.

EAGLE HDPE Laboratory Safety Cans reduce the danger of explosions resulting from the ignition of vapors of flammable liquids. Cans are made of high density polyethylene for safe storage and handling of most chemical compounds.

Nonmetallic Dispensing Cans permit easy, one-hand dispensing of liquids directly onto work surface. Brass dispenser valves are leak proof and self-closing to minimize spills and control excess. Brass valves are FM-approved and recommended for flammables. Rugged high density polyethylene body is textured and shaped for a firm grip.

Justrite Centura Quick Disconnect Safety Waste Disposal Cans offer a safe and easy way to collect liquid waste. Quick-disconnect fittings allow free flow of solvent into container through tubing. Durable polyethylene container with large, strategically placed opening facilitates controlled pouring into larger vessels for proper hazardous waste disposal. Opening is equipped with a stainless steel flame arrester which dissipates heat to prevent flashback ignition. Fixed position latch on handle allows lid to stay open for easier pouring. Translucent color lets you check liquid level at a glance. Hands-free liquid waste accumulation is ideal for HPLC applications and is suitable for either pump fed or gravity flow HPLC waste methods. Double fittings eliminate back pressure in liquid flow disposal line and provide controlled handling of vapors. Container automatically vents between 3 and 5 psig. Exclusive "quick-disconnect" mechanism offers a convenient means of detaching can from the HPLC process without having to disengage tubing already connected to the machine. Both coupling and disconnect are valved to prevent vapor release or solvent leakage. Models with stainless steel fittings offer Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) o-rings while more economically priced polypropylene fittings offer EPDM o-rings. Choose the one which is compatible with the solvent discharged from your HPLC unit.

Meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106(a)(29): Safety can shall mean an approved container, of not more than 5 gallons capacity, having a spring-closing lid and spout cover and so designed that it will safely relieve internal pressure when subjected to fire exposure.
