Plastic Containers That Can Hold Food!
Plastic continues to be a top choice across the food industry, from containers being used in restaurants to jars and bottles being popular for small businesses. It is important to make sure the right plastics are being used to hold food products in accordance with the FDA. Our product specialists are available to help explain what the differences are between FDA Approved, Compliant and Food Grade.
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 works well in below freezing temperatures. HDPE heat compatibility varies. Maximum fill temperature is generally around 171°F; however, testing is recommended with your specific product and application. Distortion occurs between 220° to 250° F.

Thank you for your inquiry. Plastic drums are quite durable and resist degradation. They do not dent or rust. However, damage, such as cracks and scratches, can be sustained from improper handling. It is also important to make sure your plastic drum is compatible with whatever material or liquid it holds. Please note that drums that are used to ship hazardous materials internationally automatically have a five-year lifespan. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Can you use this 55 gallon blue Industrial Plastic Drum to store gas?
Thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend storing gasoline or other flammable fluids in this plastic drum. The main reason is that the plastic, in this case high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), can react with the gasoline and start to break the plastic down. This can result in damage to the storage container causing leakage. The plastic/gasoline reaction can also result in cross-contamination that will affect the chemical composition of the fuel itself, which can become unstable.
Although we have some plastic safety cans available, they are made for short-term storage of small quantities of fuel (up to 5 gallons). We also have metal safety cans available for this purpose: Type I Safety Cans and Type II Safety Cans. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Can you ship internationally? Where are you located?
The Cary Company online ordering platform is only set up to ship within the United States. For international shipments, please contact us at 630.629.6600 or Sales@thecarycompany.com, and we will be happy to process your order. Our main warehouse and office are located in Addison, Ill. We also have warehouses in across the United States that you can see here. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Can you use this to store off road diesel ?
Thank you for your question! We do not know enough about your product or application to be able to recommend a specific item. We would advise you to pass along your data sheet to the Department of Transportation for more information on how your product should be stored and transported. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
