Pails vs. Buckets
Believe it or not, there is a difference between a pail and a bucket. Our wide range of buckets and pails allow you to choose the right style for your needs. With countless uses, these containers are great due to their versatility. Our steel pails are a popular choice in the manufacturing, construction, and agriculture industries. Plastic pails, with bright color options, are a must-have for color coordination systems. After their initial use, pails and buckets can be reutilized for countless other needs, making them cost-effective, long-lasting resources. A 5 gallon bucket in a garden can take your planting to the next level. If you’re still stuck between a steel or plastic bucket, remember the dimensions of the two are different.
Material:
High density polyethylene (HDPE ) is the most commonly used resin. This economical plastic has good impact and chemical resistance, is naturally translucent and flexible. It is typically used for personal care products such as shampoo bottles. Adding color will give HDPE an opaque look that will result in an increase in weight and rigidness. We have a variety of these rigid and tough high density polyethylene products in stock, from containers, pails, bottles, caps, tubs and jugs. HDPE plastic has moderate heat tolerance, with a melting point ranging from 120°F-180°F depending on the product and application. Testing is recommended. HDPE also generally works well in below freezing temperatures.Disclaimer:
