UN-approved containers for the chemical industry.

André te Rietmole,
Specialist Chemistry

The storage and transport of chemical substances are subject to strict rules and regulations. Dijkstra Plastics produces and supplies various types of UN-approved, round buckets for the chemical industry. UN certification guarantees high-quality packaging that remains intact and fully sealed, even under demanding conditions.

All our buckets have proven their reliability during intensive testing. Dijkstra Plastics can advise you on the type of product to use and we know which regulations you should take into account. In-Mold Labelling (IML) enables us to give your packaging more attention power with a durable label containing information or warning symbols

We use 100% recyclable raw materials (polypropylene). Depending on the application of the bucket, we can adjust our specifications to suit a wide variety of applications. A bucket can be customised for freezing or hot-fills, be made drop-resistant or otherwise adjusted to meet product-specific requirements. And our highly sustainable solutions are, of course, sourced from recycled plastic, PCR (Post Consumer Recycled).

UN certification is a quality mark issued by the UN Committee on the Transport of Dangerous Goods which fall within the ADR Regulation. Dijkstra Plastics offers various packaging, from 3 to 60 liters of packaging, with this label for internationally recognized safety rules drawn up for packaging. The EC-UN and ECS-UN series provide the assurance that the strict UN standards for this class of solids and granules are met.

The shape of the bucket can be a determining factor in terms of ease of use, logistical costs or attention value. You can choose from a large range of round, square or rectangular buckets of all feasible volumes. By applying different types of carrying handles and lids, we offer every possible solution to your packaging needs.
