- Galvanized Steel/Terne Plate: when chemical purity is not critical. Some chemicals may adversely affect paint.
- Polyethylene for storing acids, caustics and other corrosive chemicals.
- Stainless Steel: when chemical purity is critical.
* May discolor solvent if water present.
CAUTION: Resistance to mixed solvents is unpredictable. This Guide DOES NOT apply to mixtures, even if the can is compatible with all components of the mixture.
