Frequently Asked Questions

Safety cans are categorized into Type I and Type II:

  • Type I Safety Cans: Feature a single opening for both filling and dispensing. They are ideal for general-purpose use and are commonly used for storing and handling flammable liquids.
  • Type II Safety Cans: Designed with two openings—one for filling and another for dispensing. They include features like the AccuFlow™ manifold and Safe-Squeeze® trigger for controlled pouring, enhancing safety during use.

Both types are constructed from durable materials such as galvanized steel and are equipped with flame arresters to prevent flashback ignition.
