Choosing the Right Drum Plugs

There are a number of drum closures available for temporary and long-term packaging. Seal spouts on plastic and metal drums with the appropriate bung locking kits or standard drum plugs. A locking kit is manufactured child-resistant, helping to ensure products in the drums aren’t tampered with and prevent unauthorized access. Steel, zinc-plated steel, and bronze alloy plugs are sustainable and efficient ways to seal spouts on steel drums. Steel drums are resistant to corrosion, so they are useful for packaging acidic, caustic, and other potentially harmful chemicals. Plastic drum plugs work well on both closed head metal and plastic drum spouts in most instances, but usability may differ by product.
