Discover Triplex Technology from Cleveland Steel Container
Commerce Industrial Chemicals is proud to be a distributor partner with Cleveland Steel Container offering their exclusive Triplex® technology to produce a stronger and safer steel pail for the most demanding needs. With ongoing steel issues affecting the pail industry and rising costs being of paramount concern, is your business using the best pail for your packaging needs?
The Triplex® Technology advantage:
- Triple Seam– At the heart of Triplex® is a stronger top and bottom seam. This seam is created by adding two additional wraps of steel to form a triple seam with a total of 7 complete layers of steel versus 5 layers.
- Compound Curl- The Triplex® pail design offers a unique compound top curl on an open-head pail. The curl is the potential failure point of any steel pail. A compound curl allows a much better crimp when using the CSC Hi-Performance UN lug cover. This combination has been fully approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation and delivers consistent UN performance.
- Weld Seam- The Triplex design features an improved weld seam. By using a new computer-controlled feedback loop welder, the seam is smoother and stronger. This enhances the exterior appearance. A cleaner weld also reduces the possibility of sharp burrs or feathers that may be dangerous or that might interfere with the integrity of the interior lining.
- Body Profile- The improved body profile of the Triplex open-head pail design allows for increased labeling area. This is extremely helpful when complying with all of the government regulations, directions for use and warning statements that are now required to be included on your labeled pails. The added room permits a larger label to properly fit on the pail body without wrinkling or tearing.
