Packaging Barrel: How to Decontaminate Plastic Packaging Barrels?

Several Methods to Remove Residues from Plastic Packaging Barrels:

Because plastic packaging barrels are made of PE, there will be a lot of oil stains left on the inner wall after use, making cleaning very difficult and labor-intensive. Now let's introduce some methods to remove residues from plastic chemical barrels.

When removing residues from chemical barrels, whether using deionized water or vinegar, it is essential to ensure a long soaking time to guarantee the complete cleaning of the residues inside the barrel. Find a dry cloth soaked in vinegar and cover it over the chemical plastic barrel with residues. After soaking, impurities on the barrel can be easily removed with a small hard piece.

We can also use a mixture of rice bucket and a small amount of ammonia solution to remove residues, which can also make the outer shell of the chemical plastic barrel shinier. You can also use heating methods, softening the residues on the plastic barrel with hot air from a hairdryer, making it easy to remove when the viscosity of the residues decreases.

Of course, we can also use the familiar eraser to wipe away, but the viscosity of the residues varies, so the time for erasing also differs. If there is alcohol, it can be used together with alcohol for better erasing effects.

There are many methods for decontaminating plastic packaging barrels, not just those mentioned above. The ointments we often use also have a certain decontamination effect. You can refer to the above content when decontaminating.

How to Prevent Plastic Packaging Barrels from Deforming?

Plastic packaging barrels are very common in our lives, but the troublesome issue for us is the problem of variability. So how should we prevent it?

First, when installing the outer cover, it needs to be tightened (usually with the help of external force like a wrench). After the sealing ring is installed, it should closely contact the barrel mouth to avoid deformation of the sealing ring. If the temperature of the filled product exceeds 40°C, it needs to be unscrewed and stacked after cooling. When stacking, ensure flatness. When stacking, the base layer with a large contact area should be aligned. Do not stack misaligned to avoid deforming the plastic barrel.

The weight or specific gravity of dangerous goods loaded in chemical barrels must not exceed the maximum weight or specific gravity that can be loaded. Do not place dangerous goods that require good packaging in plastic barrels of low danger levels. If transporting with plastic barrels without venting holes, gases will be released during storage and transportation. The quantity or volume of dangerous goods inside the barrel must not exceed the limits set by the international regulations for the transport of dangerous goods. During loading and unloading, avoid dropping and colliding with hard and sharp objects. When loading dangerous goods, do not corrode or damage the appearance of the plastic barrel.

First, check whether the lid and barrel body of the plastic barrel match during filling; otherwise, if the lid and barrel body do not match, the liquid can easily leak from the mouth. The liquid temperature must not exceed 70°C. Storage should be away from light, and the temperature should be below 40°C. During loading, unloading, and transportation, the temperature should not exceed 25°C.

After filling plastic packaging barrels with high-temperature liquids, do not load and transport immediately. When handling filled liquids, do not drag the chemical barrel directly on the ground to avoid wear and collision at the bottom. The correct method should be to lift it with both hands or transport it with a forklift and wooden pallet.
