Introduction
Overview
5‑25 L industrial steel pails are medium‑small‑size metal packaging containers, covering mainstream capacities: 5L, 8L, 10L, 15L, 18L, 20L and 25L. They are divided into Open‑Head Steel Pails and Tight‑Head Steel Pails. Manufactured from cold‑rolled steel plate, these pails deliver high mechanical strength, excellent drop‑resistance and stacking performance. They can be equipped with UN1A2 dangerous‑goods certification and food‑grade inner coating, suitable for liquids, pastes, greases, powders and granules. Widely adopted in coatings, chemicals, building materials, food ingredients and export logistics.
Main Structure
Pail Body: Roll‑formed steel cylinder with reinforced bead rings for improved rigidity and anti‑deformation performance. Equipped with a movable metal carrying handle for easy lifting and handling.
Lug Lid: Matching open head cover with multi‑point lug teeth around the edge, cooperating with the lock ring to achieve tight compression sealing.
Lever‑Lock Ring: Over‑lap type lock ring with lever clasp. Fasten the lever to compress the lid onto the pail flange; release the lever for quick lid removal. A gasket inside the ring enhances sealing capability.
Pail Bottom: Multi‑layer curled seam bottom (normally 7‑layer crimping), providing leak‑proof performance against liquid leakage.
Key Features
✅ Easy opening & closing: Quick open‑close by operating the lever lock ring, no special tools required.
✅ Reliable sealing: Combined with rubber gasket, effectively prevent liquid leakage and volatile substance escape, suitable for liquid‑based products.
✅ High mechanical strength: Resist impact and stacking pressure, adapt to land‑sea transportation and warehouse stacking.
✅ Customizable options: Available in multiple capacities; inner surface can be coated with anti‑corrosion or food‑grade lining for different contents. Outer surface supports custom painting, logo and label printing.
✅ UN certification available: Qualified pails can obtain UN dangerous‑goods packaging approval for transporting hazardous liquids.
✅ Re‑usability: Good reusability after proper cleaning.
Main Industry Applications
Coating & Ink: Open‑head pails for water‑borne paint, putty, color paste; UN tight‑head pails for solvent‑based paint, curing agent and thinners.
Chemical & Adhesive: Resins, polyurethane adhesives, lubricating greases, industrial solvents, cleaning agents and catalyst.
Lubricant & Edible Oil: Industrial lubricants, hydraulic oil; food‑grade pails for edible oils, syrup and food raw materials.
Construction & Waterproofing: Waterproof coatings, floor paint, building sealant and caulking compound for on‑site construction.
Export & Hazardous Goods: UN‑certified tight‑head pails for dangerous‑cargo shipment; BPA‑free food‑grade pails for global food‑material export.

Important Components Of UN Steel Buckets With Lever Lock Ring
1.Lever locking ring lid
.Removable heavy gauge steel lid and lever locking ring combination for both UN rated or non-UN steel pail.re-sealable

2 Lid seal
For UN rated container rubber and EPDM gaskets have good performance of air tightness and anti-solvent property,they are exclusived used for UN containers.
3.Bottom sealing
.Five layers sealing for non-UN rated steel pail
.Seven layers sealing for UN rated steel pail

4 Handle
Steel handle with white or black plastic becket pass the test of handle strength test hanging 55kg in air for 48 hours.
Advantages
1.Factory test room for drop test,stacking test,hydraulic pressure test,leakproofness,bale handle strength.
2.Different moulds for tin cans and adhesive cans.So here we can supply one-stop steel containers purchasing service.
3.Have plastic pail and other plastic moulds for pail accessories like different pail covers.We also can make different moulds for not only plastic containers but also other PP,PE,ABS products.
