Yes, this is one of the main strengths of our stainless steel line compared to plastic alternatives. Many chemical reactions or industrial process fluids are stored or transferred at elevated temperatures, or can generate heat in the event of accidental mixing at the bottom of the tank (exothermic reactions).
While polyethylene undergoes a drastic decline in mechanical resistance already above 50-60°C, risking structural failure, stainless steel maintains its mechanical properties and static containment even at critical temperatures. The well-crafted structure of Mayermoover ensures that the spilled liquid remains confined without any risk of fusion or deformation of the container.

Stainless steel offers exceptional resistance to atmospheric agents, humidity, and UV rays (which crystallize and weaken plastic over time). However, for outdoor storage of drums or IBCs in the chemical industry, it is crucial to prevent rainwater from filling the container, reducing its useful containment capacity imposed by D.Lgs. 152/2006.
For this reason, the Mayermoover line includes configurations with protective canopies or fully enclosed steel cabinets. These solutions protect containers from atmospheric agents, prevent contamination of rainwater with external chemical residues, and prevent unauthorized personnel access, maintaining the 100% volumetric safety of the container.

A container for hazardous waste must ensure total isolation of the material from the surrounding environment. It must have a certified hermetically sealed structure, adequate chemical resistance to the nature of the waste (to prevent corrosion or cracking) and mechanical stability that prevents tipping. It is also mandatory that the container is always housed within a containment vessel, which acts as a secondary safety barrier in the event of primary container failure.
