Plastic has become an inseparable part of our lives today, used everywhere from industry to everyday life. As a petroleum product, plastic is highly important and is used to make many products, including plastic jerrycans. As you know, plastic containers are now among the most widely used products on the market and serve many purposes; despite repeated calls to use less plastic, they remain in wide use. Below we look at the importance, prices and uses of the different types of plastic jerrycans, so that you can buy with confidence.

A Guide to Choosing Plastic and Industrial Jerrycans

Today's market offers jerrycans of every type in a wide range of sizes and capacities, from 1-liter jerrycans to large jerrycans, designed to meet the needs of filling lines across different industries. The best way to build a durable industrial jerrycan is to use premium raw materials, which is why the polyethylene jerrycan, with its high resistance to impact, leaks and chemical reactions, is the most popular choice in this field.

Quality Testing of Plastic Jerrycans

We carry out a series of tests to ensure the quality of the containers we produce, so that both we and our valued customers can have complete confidence in our plastic packaging containers.

These tests are very diverse. Some check the quality and physical strength of the plastic jerrycan after production, such as the drop test, road test, gas pressure test, color matching test, heat resistance test (oven), induction seal test, cap opening and closing torque test (capping machine torque tester) and compression resistance test (BCT).

Other tests relate to the quality of the packaging raw materials and their formulation, such as the environmental stress crack resistance test (ESCR), the melt flow index test (MFI), the electric furnace test and weight stability. There are also tests for toxicity and migration, including the migration test and the heavy metals test.

We are proud that all of these tests are carried out in Sapel's QC unit, so that we produce a home worthy of your product. Below you can see the road test of a 20-liter jerrycan made by Sapel for Fuchs. The test is carried out on a dedicated machine that simulates how jerrycans are stacked and carried by trucks, to make sure the plastic jerrycans made at Sapel stay intact during transport and shipping. During the test, the jerrycans are filled with liquid and stacked on top of each other in the road transport test machine.

Plastic Jerrycan Manufacturer

Interestingly, jerrycans were originally metal containers used to carry fuel, and they first appeared and came into use during the Second World War. Today, however, they have many different uses, which we look at below. As for their production, plastic jerrycans in various capacities are mass-produced using blow molding technology.

Sapel manufactures plastic containers in various capacities for packaging your products, with the motto of making the home of your product. At Sapel, we use the latest technology and premium raw materials to produce the best containers. The raw material we use is polyethylene, identified by the recycling symbol on the bottom of the containers.

Uses of Plastic Jerrycans

In the past, when the first jerrycans were made of metal, they were mostly used to carry fuels such as gasoline, or water. Today, now that jerrycans are made from high-density polyethylene, their uses have become far more varied and widespread, and buying plastic jerrycans in bulk is a priority for companies producing all kinds of products. The most important uses of plastic jerrycans are described below:

Jerrycans in the Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry

In the cosmetics industry, jerrycans are used for products such as oxidants and shampoos. The 4-liter jerrycan is the most widely used, although other sizes are also widely used to package cosmetics. In the hygiene products industry, their use is not limited to detergents such as laundry liquid, hand wash and dishwashing liquid, or to products such as bleach; they are also used for industrial detergents. Because polyethylene jerrycans resist all kinds of formulations, they can be used widely across every part of these industries.

Jerrycans in the Food Industry

Plastic Jerrycans in the Construction Industry

Making concrete with the right properties requires various additives, plasticizers, set accelerators and chemicals. These materials improve the properties and performance of concrete, and they are always packaged in plastic jerrycans that do not react with them.

Jerrycans in the Agricultural Industry

Farmers use a variety of fertilizers and pesticides to improve their crops and protect them from pests. Besides bottles, which we cover in their own section, various jerrycans are used to package these products. The flat 5-liter folding-handle jerrycan is very common in this industry, as it is easy to carry by hand and on farm vehicles. The 10-liter jerrycan is also very practical here because of its large capacity, although other jerrycans are widely used too.

Jerrycans in the Petrochemical and Chemical Industries

Besides oil and gasoline, the chemical and petrochemical industries produce a wide range of products, including paints, solvents, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, additives, some chemical fertilizers, and detergents and hygiene products. Jerrycans are therefore used extensively in this industry, provided they meet the quality required to store each product. Sapel is proud to produce jerrycans of exemplary quality for this purpose.

The Interesting History Behind the Name “Jerrycan”

In Persian, these containers are usually called by the same word as the gallon, the unit of volume, so the two are easily confused. Their English name, plastic jerrycan, has an interesting history. The name is German in origin: “Jerry” was a nickname for German soldiers, and during the Second World War the Allies copied the design of German jerrycans exactly, which is why they came to be called “jerry cans”, literally German cans! To help you convert liters to gallons or any other unit, we have placed a unit conversion guide next to every product.
