| Q. |
What is the plastic material used in producing plastic drums and jerricans ? |
| A. |
Both plastic drums and jerricans use the high molecular
weight high density polyethylene in processing.
This material generally offers good resistance
to chemical attack. It also can withstand the impact
such as when the drum is accidentally dropped from
one and a half meter in height.

| Q. |
What is UN-Number? |
| A. |
The UN number marking on the drum means that the drum is produced with the specifications based on the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by the United Nations committee of Experts. The aim is to present provisions that will allow uniform development of national and international regulations governing the various modes of transport. The Competent Authority of each Country will officially issue these UN markings.
