10 Litre Jerry Can / Container

10 Litre Jerry Can / Container in HDPE (Reference: 200413) represents the ideal professional packaging solution for demanding businesses and individuals. Manufactured by blow extrusion in High Density Polyethylene, this container benefits from FDA certification for food contact, ensuring its versatility across numerous sectors of activity.

Professional Applications and Use Cases

This 10 litre container proves indispensable in the chemical and petrochemical industry for the secure storage of solvents, detergents, technical oils and maintenance products. Its FDA food certification also makes it an ideal choice for food and beverage industries: packaging of vegetable oils, syrups, liquid concentrates, food additives or viscous preparations.

Automotive professionals adopt it for storing engine oils, coolants, additives and maintenance products. In agriculture and horticulture, it excels in packaging liquid fertilisers, plant protection products, nutrient solutions or organic preparations. Laboratories and production units find it a reliable container for their technical solutions, non-corrosive reagents and specialised preparations.

Technical Specifications and Innovation

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) gives this container exceptional mechanical properties: resistance to impact, thermal variations and chemical corrosion. The blow extrusion process guarantees uniform wall thickness, eliminating weak points and ensuring optimal resistance to internal pressure.

Its odourless design preserves the organoleptic integrity of stored products, crucial for food applications. FDA compatibility attests to the absence of migration of harmful substances into the contents, even during prolonged storage. Its smooth surface facilitates cleaning and disinfection, meeting HACCP requirements of food industries.

The dimensional stability of HDPE maintains the shape of the container even under stress, while its UV resistance allows outdoor storage without premature degradation of the material.

Installation and Practical Use

Using this jerry can requires no complex installation. Its central pinch handle provides a secure ergonomic grip, reducing the risk of slipping during transport, even with wet or gloved hands. This design allows balanced carrying and reduces fatigue during repeated handling.

The bottom grip is a major innovation facilitating complete draining. This auxiliary handle allows the container to be progressively tilted to evacuate the last residues, optimising yield and reducing product losses. This feature proves particularly valuable for costly or viscous products.

For maintenance, a rinse with clean water is sufficient for most applications. For greasy or adhesive products, use warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive solvents that could alter the properties of the HDPE. Complete drying before reuse prevents any bacterial development.

Expert Tips and Usage Optimisation

To maximise the lifespan of your container, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Although resistant, HDPE can become brittle in extreme cold or soften in intense heat. Storage between 5°C and 40°C optimises its performance.

Consider acquiring specialised caps according to your application: pouring cap for thin liquids, vent cap for foaming products, or safety cap for hazardous substances. Traceability labels will allow you to easily identify the contents and packaging dates.

For industrial applications, integrate this container into your stock management procedures with a barcode or QR code. Its compact shape optimises storage space and facilitates secure stacking. In organic farming, its food certification allows storage of plant extract-based preparations without risk of contamination.

The mistake to avoid: never use this container for concentrated acids or chlorinated solvents that could degrade the HDPE. Always consult the safety data sheet of the product to be packaged to verify its compatibility with polyethylene.
