RUST INHIBITOR
The purpose of a rust inhibitor is to slow down the formation of rust. It is not intended to act as a protective lining. With time and exposure conditions, the formation of rust may still occur. If rust concerns are an issue, then the use of a lined pail will prevent the formation of environmental rust. These inhibitors have limited chemical resistance to most products but are not as good as the epoxy-phenolics or straight 100% phenolic linings options.
EPOXY PHENOLIC
The advent of epoxy resin has improved the flexibility of the lining and has excellent resistance to alkaline products. In general, the epoxy-phenolic lining has been designed to provide outstanding chemical resistance for products that have a pH range of 7.0–9.0. Typical products packaged, are alkaline products, fatty acids, detergents, emulsions, foods, general organic chemicals, surfactants, and water based resins.
RED PHENOLIC
Red phenolic linings are unmodified phenolics and as such, have a high degree of acid and solvent resistance, and are not recommended for alkaline products. In general, they are designed for holding products that have a pH range of 3.0–7.0. A properly cured lining will exhibit good adhesion and limited flexibility. Typical products which do not affect the lining are acid compounds, agricultural chemicals, insecticides, corrosive chemicals, solvents and solvent containing materials, nitrocellulose lacquers and inks, food products, essential oils and petroleum products.
GREEN PHENOLIC
Green phenolic linings are unmodified phenolics and as such, have a high degree of acid and solvent resistance, and are not recommended for alkaline products. In general, they are designed for holding products that have a pH range of 3.0–7.0. A properly cured lining will exhibit good adhesion and limited flexibility. Typical products which do not affect the lining are acid compounds, agricultural chemicals, insecticides, corrosive chemicals, solvents and solvent containing materials, nitrocellulose lacquers and inks, food products, essential oils and petroleum products.
GOLD PHENOLIC
Gold phenolic linings are unmodified phenolics and as such, have a high degree of acid and solvent resistance, and are not recommended for alkaline products. In general, they are designed for holding products that have a pH range of 3.0–7.0. A properly cured lining will exhibit good adhesion, however; compared to the red and green phenolic lining it is less flexible. Typical products which do not affect the lining are acid compounds, agricultural chemicals, insecticides, corrosive chemicals, solvents and solvent containing materials, nitrocellulose lacquers and inks, food products, essential oils and petroleum products.

Let us help you design your lithographed steel pail or cover and turn your steel pail into a cost effective marketing tool. We do all of our printing in-house using either conventional or UV ink with state of the art computer controlled ink applicators on our printing presses. To help maintain short and consistent lead-times, all of our pail manufacturing plants have their own metal decorating operations.
Spot Colors
Spot color designs can be cost effective when utilizing only a few solid colors. A lithographed pail or cover will allow you to proudly display your company name, logo or color. It also provides plenty of print area for product information, application instructions, hazardous and warning statements and other important information. A varnish overcoat is applied to protect your design.
Process Colors
Process color designs allow for photographic images to be printed with crystal clear detail. The images are created from process colors – cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). This type of lithography will feature your product’s full potential such as life- like water droplets, wood grain and fabric texture.
