At Metano, we’re proud to work with some of the premier paint, chemical and solvent companies in the industry. You might even say that our stainless steel IBCs for paint are well “primed” for transport and storage in this critical manufacturing segment!  How is this true? We’ve got the key advantages of stainless steel IBCs for paints.

Both commercial and residential paints contain rich blends of compounds designed to fulfill specific needs. Whether intended strictly for home use, or specially-treated for all-weather or high-temperature commercial purposes, stainless steel and metals are the ideal container choice for paint materials. Just as you’d expect to find a gallon of paint sold in a metal container at the local home store, stainless steel IBCs are the preferred option for the industrial sector.

Choose stainless steel IBCs for paint because they deliver:

1. Resistance to pigments

Special pigments are added to deliver specific paint colors. Carbon is added (for black paint), titanium oxide (for white) plus calcium silicates and sulfides for other colors. No matter the color palate, stainless steel IBCs resist pigments and can be completely washed and sanitized after processing so that no color residue remains from one batch to the next.  

2. Tolerance of binders

Binding agents are added to paints to ensure good adhesion and coating longevity. Yet those same binders are unlikely to adhere to shiny stainless steel. Generally speaking, you can expect your stainless steel paint IBCs to drain to a rate of 99% so that you’ll get the most from your product.

3. Reduced evaporation

Both oil-based and water-based paints can contain thinners and other compounds that are added to render them mold or water proof. Yet unless lids are secure during transport, there is a real risk that these solvents could evaporate. Stainless steel IBCs for paints offer a secure seal for spill-proof transport.

4. Enhanced mixing

Paints will only reach true color after a thorough mixing, and stainless steel IBCs are the ideal mixing vessel. Simply add the key ingredients for your application and choose a mixing system to obtain optimal mix consistency.
