Q & A
Customer Questions
Are these 1-gallon metal paint cans able to support Nitrogen blanket and are they food grade? My product is sensitive to oxidation.
Thank you for your inquiry. We would not recommend these paint cans because they are not FDA-approved and therefore will not accommodate any food-grade applications. We recommend any of our FDA approved plastic 1-gallon jars, such as Part #68WU30, 1 Gallon Natural HDPE Plastic Wide Mouth Jar, 110mm 110-400, 120 Grams, or Part #68WB1G, 1 Gallon Black HDPE Plastic Wide Mouth Jar, 120mm 120-400, 120 Grams. Additionally, plastic will not oxidize, which may make these containers better options. Our 1-gallon glass jars may also be suitable for this application: You can request a sample of any of these jars to test whether it’s suited to your application. Please note our disclaimer, which states that "[w]e are not responsible for consequential damages arising from customer's ...
What type of metal is this paint can made of?
Most metal paint cans are made of tin-plated steel. The steel component gives the container strength. The tin plating adds corrosion resistance to protect the can from the chemical composition or corrosive effects of the can’s contents.
Some of these paint cans are called unlined or lined. What are these linings? And what does unlined mean?
Lined cans are lined with either epoxy phenolic or gold phenolic lining. Epoxy phenolic lining is a gray-colored lining that is used for alkaline products, fatty acids, detergents, emulsions, general organic chemicals, surfactants and water-based resins. The epoxy-phenolic linings have been designed to provide outstanding chemical resistance in a pH range of 7.0 – 9.0. Gold phenolic lining is a gold-colored lining that is a good option for solvents and oil-based products. Gold phenolic linings are also FDA approved, which makes them safe for food products.

Unlined paint cans are sprayed or rinsed with a rust inhibitor that helps slow rusting prior to filling the cans with a specific product. Unlined paint cans are good for holding oil-based or solvent coatings.
Can this metal paint can be recycled?
Yes, metal paint cans can be recycled. As steel retains its properties through the recycling process, it can be recycled repeatedly. Old metal paint cans are used to make tools, equipment and building materials. In fact, many of our metal paint cans are made of at least 25% post-consumer content.
Can I put food products in this metal paint can?
Paint cans with a gold phenolic lining are safe for food products.
Do you sell lids and bails for this paint can?
Yes, you can purchase both lids and bails (metal handles) for various paint cans. Cans sold without lids have compatible lids listed in the Related Products section of that paint can’s product page. The Cary Company also has paint can clips, overseal rings, opening and closing tools, paint can mixers and even shipping supplies specifically for paint cans.
