Broad range of containers appropriate to your products
Accredited: ADR / IMDG / RID / ADN packaging group II & III.
IBC specifically designed for: chemical industry
NCS - expert in metal IBC for the chemical industry
Our metal IBC containers intended for use with chemicals have been specially-designed to meet the requirements of the chemical industry. All our standard metal containers are engineered and designed by our team to meet current international regulations. We carry out checks at each step from design to manufacturing, in order to guarantee high-quality containers that make safe the handling of chemical products.
We offer a range specific to the chemical industry for two types of contents: powders and liquids. All our containers are ADR/UN-approved, which means our products have been subject to a series of tests such as resistance tests (drop, crushing, deformation, etc.). In order to meet all of our customers’ requirements, we offer containers in different materials, such as: 304L/316L/316TI STAINLESS STEEL, S235/S355 STEEL, 5754/6081T6 ALUMINIUM.
Our range of returnable containers designed for the chemical industry are available in two versions:
- A version for powders (powder paint, granules, polymers, powders, etc.)
- A version for liquids (liquid paint, solvents, hydrocarbons, inks, coatings, etc.)
We offer fully-configurable standard models designed for powders and for liquid products.
