Grade B Questions
What types of chemicals can I store in Grade B containers?
Grade B containers are suitable for most non-hazardous industrial chemicals including lubricants, detergents, water-based solutions, dilute acids and bases, and similar materials. They are not recommended for aggressive solvents, strong oxidizers, or materials incompatible with HDPE.
How does Grade B differ from Grade A?
Grade A containers are specifically for food-grade applications and have only held food-safe materials. Grade B containers have held industrial chemicals and are cleaned for industrial use. Grade B offers significant cost savings for non-food applications.
Are Grade B containers suitable for hazardous materials?
Grade B containers are intended for non-hazardous materials. For hazardous material storage, specific containers rated for those materials are required. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we can help identify the right solution.
What documentation comes with Grade B containers?
Grade B containers include documentation of our inspection and cleaning process. We can provide information about previous contents when available, though this is not always documented as thoroughly as with Grade A containers.
Can I use Grade B containers for agricultural chemicals?
Yes, Grade B containers are commonly used for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals. Always verify chemical compatibility with HDPE before use.
What warranty is included with Grade B containers?
Grade B containers include a 60-day warranty covering structural integrity and proper function. This covers defects not apparent at time of sale and does not cover normal wear, misuse, or chemical incompatibility issues.
