Solvents

Because there are many solvents with specific properties that require more specialized control measures, Skolnik steel drums are conducive to providing good care for the packaging, transportation and disposal of such solvents. They also are effective in protecting the people who work in close proximity to these hazardous materials. Millions of workers are exposed to solvents on a daily basis, and this exposure can be associated with health hazards including toxicity to the nervous system, reproductive damage, liver and kidney damage, respiratory impairment, cancer, and dermatitis. For these potential hazards in many work environments, there are precise systems of solvent collection available for storing these chemicals in steel drums, both open and closed head. Skolnik steel drums come in many sizes, and are approved to meet UN, DOT, and mil-spec standards.
