1-Gal Poly Laboratory Container - NO Funnel, White – Safety Cans | Buy Online

Product Overview

The 1-Gallon Poly Laboratory Container in White from Justrite is a safety can designed for handling, storing, and dispensing flammable liquids and corrosive chemicals in laboratory settings. Constructed from chemical-resistant polyethylene with stainless steel hardware, this container features a spring-loaded, self-closing cap with a built-in pressure-relief mechanism to prevent dangerous pressure buildup. The stainless steel flame arrester prevents flashback ignition through the 1.45-inch fill/pour hole. Measuring 4.625 inches wide by 7.625 inches long by 12.75 inches high, the 1-gallon capacity provides ample volume for daily laboratory use. The white color designates corrosive or waste contents per OSHA/NFPA color-coding standards, helping lab personnel quickly identify container use. At 5 lbs, the container ships via UPS. A compatible funnel (A11201J) is available separately for hands-free filling.

Expert Insights

When selecting the 1-Gallon White Poly Laboratory Container, note that the white color specifically designates corrosive or waste liquid storage per OSHA and NFPA color-coding guidelines, distinguishing it from the red containers designated for flammables. The polyethylene body provides superior resistance to corrosive chemicals compared to metal containers, while the stainless steel hardware maintains structural integrity where needed — at the cap mechanism, hinges, and flame arrester. The 1-gallon capacity is the maximum available in the poly lab container line, suitable for labs dispensing moderate volumes daily. The self-closing cap is a critical safety feature: it automatically seals when released, preventing vapor escape and reducing fire risk. If your application involves strictly flammable liquids, choose the red version (A14160J) for proper color coding. For smaller volumes, the 1/2-Gallon Red model (A14065J) minimizes flammable inventory at the workstation. For all-metal construction, consider the 1-Gallon Stainless Steel model (A1301E).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this container white instead of red?

White designates corrosive or waste liquid storage per OSHA and NFPA color-coding standards. Red containers are for flammable liquids.

Can I use the white container for flammable liquids?

Functionally yes, it has the same safety features. However, using proper color coding (red for flammables, white for corrosives/waste) is an OSHA best practice for lab safety.

How does the pressure-relief mechanism work?

If internal pressure rises due to heat or chemical reaction, the cap automatically vents at a safe threshold, preventing dangerous pressure buildup inside the container.

Is a funnel available for this container?

Yes, the Justrite Funnel (A11201J) fits the 1.45-inch pour hole for hands-free filling of this and other poly laboratory containers.
