Poly-Pail Screw Tops
Poly Pails are a very popular style of screw top plastic containers and are widely used in many industries. The Life Latch® Plastic Bucket line is considered to be the “ultimate” when it comes to pails that are used to contain chemicals, biohazard wastes, pharmaceutical products, food storage and animal/pet food storage. The screw top 5 gallon buckets are the perfect size for storage, stacking, and transport.
One of the key advantages to the Life Latch® plastic pails is that the patented Life Latch® lids are well known for screwing and unscrewing easily which lessens the hard work generally associated with opening and resealing storage containers and also for their air-tight seal for moisture-resistant storage of food products. These 5 gallon buckets come with Sure Seal – special products gasket or patented “V” Groove seal for products that need to breathe, for extra-fine chemicals, and also for high-viscosity liquids (U.N. certification for solids only).
The pails are U.N. Certified for hazardous solids groups II & III. Other desirable features of these plastic screw top containers are: child-resistant, senior-friendly, and offer a tamper evident feature as well. To make Tamper Evident you must use one of the #44107 plastic ties. A vented lid for chemicals that need to breathe is also available, contact us for a quote. Meets FDA standards. All lids come with a gasket. Lids sold separately.
These plastic screw top containers are usually purchased in “white”, but customer coloring and printing is available.
