Product Overview
The 1/2-Gallon Poly Laboratory Container from Justrite is a safety can engineered for handling, storing, and dispensing flammable liquids and corrosives in laboratory environments. Built from chemical-resistant polyethylene with stainless steel hardware, this red container features a spring-loaded, self-closing cap with a built-in pressure-relief mechanism that prevents dangerous pressure buildup. The stainless steel flame arrester dissipates heat to prevent flashback ignition. Measuring 4.625 inches wide by 7.625 inches long by 9.5 inches high, its compact 1/2-gallon capacity is ideal for benchtop use where only small quantities of flammables are needed. The 1.45-inch fill/pour hole allows controlled dispensing. At 5 lbs, the container ships via UPS. A separate funnel (A11201J) is available for easier filling. Red color indicates flammable contents per OSHA/NFPA color-coding standards.

Expert Insights
When selecting the 1/2-Gallon Poly Laboratory Container, consider whether the compact capacity suits your daily flammable liquid usage. The 1/2-gallon size minimizes the volume of flammable material at any workstation, which is a best practice for fire safety in laboratories. The polyethylene body resists corrosive chemicals that would attack standard metal cans, making it suitable for acids and corrosive solvents alongside flammables. Key safety features include the self-closing spring-loaded cap (prevents vapor release when not actively pouring), the stainless steel flame arrester (prevents external ignition from reaching contents), and the pressure-relief mechanism (automatically vents if internal pressure rises due to heat). If you need more volume, the 1-Gallon Poly models are available in red (A14160J) or white (A12162J). For environments requiring all-metal construction, the 1-Gallon Stainless Steel container (A1301E) offers maximum durability. Add the optional Funnel (A11201J) for hands-free filling through the 1.45-inch pour hole.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flame arrester do?
The stainless steel flame arrester sits inside the pour opening and dissipates heat, preventing an external flame or spark from igniting vapors inside the container.
Why doesn't this container include a funnel?
The container is designed for direct pour use through the 1.45-inch opening. A compatible Funnel (A11201J) is available separately for labs that prefer hands-free filling.
What does the red color signify?
Red indicates flammable contents per OSHA and NFPA color-coding guidelines, helping lab personnel quickly identify container contents.
Can this container handle corrosive chemicals?
Yes, the polyethylene body with stainless steel hardware is designed for both flammable wastes and corrosive chemicals.
