Product Name
Metal Phenolic-Lined Paint & Adhesive Can, Gold Phenolic Lined - Various Sizes (1 qt, 1 gal)
Brief Description
This product is a durable metal can, typically constructed from tin-coated steel, featuring a gold phenolic interior lining. This specialized lining provides excellent chemical resistance, making it particularly suitable for packaging and storing solvent-based and oil-based paints, adhesives, coatings, and other viscous products. Available in common industrial sizes such as 1 quart and 1 gallon, these cans often include “ears” for the attachment of a carrying handle.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Packaging and storage of oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes.- Container for solvent-based coatings and products.- Storage and transport of various adhesives, mastics, and other viscous materials.- Packaging of acid compounds, agricultural chemicals, and insecticides.- Industrial applications requiring robust chemical resistance.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Chemical Industry- General Manufacturing- Distributers & Resellers- Aerospace/Defense- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Artist, Artisan- Construction/Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair
Special and Unique Features
- Gold phenolic lining offers superior chemical resistance, especially against solvents and oil-based products.- Constructed from metal (often tin-coated steel) for enhanced durability and to provide a complete barrier against air and light.- Features double-seamed top and bottom construction to prevent leakage.- Designed with “ears” for the convenient attachment of a carrying handle (bail).- The lining is FDA compliant for certain food products, though this specific product is not approved for direct food contact.- Made from recyclable steel.
Key Properties
- **Material:** Tin-coated steel (metal).- **Lining:** Gold phenolic.- **Chemical Resistance:** High resistance to acids, solvents, and oil-based products.- **Durability:** Robust and resistant to denting compared to some alternative materials.- **Barrier Properties:** Impervious to air and light, which helps prevent product migration and contamination.- **Temperature Tolerance:** Maintains structural integrity under extreme temperatures.- **Sizes:** Commonly available in 1 quart and 1 gallon capacities.
Surface Compatibility
- Ideal for solvent-based paints, coatings, and lacquers.- Suitable for oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes.- Compatible with various adhesives, mastics, and other viscous products.- Can safely contain acid compounds, agricultural chemicals, insecticides, and corrosive chemicals.- Not recommended for alkaline products due to lining compatibility.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Plastic Paint Cans:** Lighter, rust-proof, and dent-resistant, often preferred for water-based paints and latex products.- **Hybrid Paint Cans:** Feature a plastic body with an epoxy-lined metal ring and a metal lid, suitable for water-based products.- **Unlined Metal Cans:** Typically sprayed with a rust inhibitor and are suitable for certain oil-based or solvent coatings.- **Epoxy Phenolic Lined Metal Cans (Gray):** Used for water-based paints, latex products, mild solvents, and alkaline products.- **Aerosol Cans:** Designed for spray painting applications.- **Larger Drums/Pails:** Used for bulk industrial storage and transportation.
Comparison Note
Metal phenolic-lined cans, particularly those with a gold phenolic lining, offer superior chemical resistance for aggressive solvents and oil-based products compared to plastic alternatives. While plastic cans are lighter and more dent-resistant, metal cans provide a complete barrier against external elements and maintain integrity across a wider range of temperatures. The gold phenolic lining specifically targets compatibility with solvent and oil-based formulations, differentiating it from gray epoxy phenolic linings which are typically used for water-based and alkaline products.
