PROTECTION OF STEEL DRUMS Available to Purchase

Among their wide range of steel drums for the packaging of liquid products, Victor Blagden & Co. Ltd. of Manchester manufacture containers painted with a chemically‐resistant coating for such products as solvents and strong chemicals which attack more conventional paints. For this purpose an ‘Epikote’ phenolic lacquer system (Robert Ingham Clark 2088) is used, two coats being applied automatically. The first coat is lightly stoved and the drums are fully cured after the second coat. The accompanying photographs show stages in the painting process.
