Tins, Jerry Cans, Pails, Bottles and more for automotive coatings

Automotive Coatings Containers

Coatings for the automotive industry are some of the most technically advanced paints and finishes produced today. They must protect metal against damage and corrosion in all weathers, terrains and temperatures, and polish to a showroom shine. The array of formulations used in the automotive industry is vast, and includes everything from polyester based coats to metallic and pearlescent finishes, waxes and varnishes. 

UN Approved Containers

Regulatory and safety requirements for automotive finishes

Many automotive paints and finishes such as solvent-based and isocyanate types are hazardous, flammable, and pose risks to health and the environment.

As a result, these products and their packaging is tightly regulated under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), which mandates secure, sealable containers which are clearly labeled with contents, usage instructions, and hazard symbols.

Usually, these types of products are required to be stored in UN-approved packaging, which is rigorously tested for durability and safety during transport.

We have a wide range of UN Approved packaging available including metal pails, jerry cans, bottles and rectangular tins.

High level protection

Metal or Plastic?

Product compliance means that the container has been product-tested to ensure compatibility. It is possible that the contents could react with the packaging material, causing them to degrade, so testing is a key part of the process. Metal packaging is a good choice for thinners and lacquers because it is highly resistant to solvent corrosion, whilst lacquered cans are a good option for water-based finishes. Fluorinated bottles and jerry cans are chemically altered through the fluorination process, which makes them more resistant to chemicals than standard plastics.
