1000L IBC Propylene Glycol

When it comes to the storage and transportation of chemicals like 1000L IBC Propylene Glycol (C3H8O2), safety and sustainability are paramount. Propylene Glycol, a colorless, odorless liquid, is widely used in industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals to cosmetics and manufacturing. It’s essential that this versatile chemical, which serves as a solvent, moisturizer, and antifreeze, is stored and transported under the safest and most environmentally friendly conditions. This is where the VARIBOX Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) come into play.

1000L IBC Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol, also known by its chemical formula C3H8O2, is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. It’s used in a wide range of applications, including:

As a base for de-icing solutions in the aviation industry
As solvent in the pharmaceutical industry for medicines
A moisture-preserving agent in food products and cosmetics
An antifreeze agent in the automotive industry

Its versatility, however, comes with the responsibility of ensuring it is handled safely. Due to its water-absorbing properties and potential to degrade when exposed to air or contaminants, Propylene Glycol requires containers that offer airtight, safe, and durable storage solutions.

VARIBOX: The Safest IBC for Propylene Glycol

VARIBOX IBCs are designed with safety at the forefront. With
a closed-system design, they offer the highest level of protection for both the contents and the handlers. This means that Propylene Glycol can be stored and transported without the risk of exposure or contamination, ensuring its chemical integrity. The closed system also minimizes contact with the chemical, reducing the risk of spills, leaks, or accidental skin contact during operations. Moreover, VARIBOX IBCs are UN-approved, meaning they meet rigorous international standards for the safe transport of hazardous materials, making them ideal for chemicals like Propylene Glycol, which needs careful handling during transport.

Sustainability: A Core Value of VARIBOX

In addition to being the safest option for storing and transporting Propylene Glycol, VARIBOX IBCs are designed with sustainability in mind. Built for longevity, these containers have a minimum lifetime of 10 years, which significantly reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact of chemical storage solutions. Here are some key features that make VARIBOX IBCs the most sustainable choice:

99% Recyclable: At the end of their life cycle.
VARIBOX containers incorporate up to 33% (PCR)
The design of VARIBOX IBCs ensures minimal residue (<0.1%)

Use EPDM for propylene glycol

Viton seals are not suitable in combination with Propylene glycol! Always choose the EPDM version for the safe use of your VARIBOX 1000L IBC Propylene Glycol. The most important numbers for this chemical substance are:
