What Are IBC's Made Of
This depends on many factors including whether the
IBC will be reused or not, the durability needed and
legal requirements. In the case of cube shaped rigid IBCs,
the inner containers are often made from a plastic such as
polyethylene or high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Common Uses
IBCs are used for the transport and storage of:
- Chemicals
- Solvents
- Pharmaceuticals

Intermediate bulk containers have all also been used in unique areas such as aquaponics, general bulk storage, and the collecting of rainwater for drinking or harvesting.
