France bans plastic containers for the storage of flammable liquids

THIELMANN’s stainless steel containers are designed for a wide range of substances, including those classified as hazardous liquids, such as solvents, alcohols, and various industrial chemicals. While stainless steel is highly resistant, it’s vital to verify the compatibility of the container’s material (AISI 304 or 316L) with your specific application.

To ensure suitability for the storage of flammable liquids, consult the chemical’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and contact us with your particular requirements.

We offer a variety of fittings, including options such as Swagelok, Parker, Staubli, and Nitto Kohki, as well as specialized filling and emptying systems and additional connections and components.
