The Problem
A steel or plastic drum gives its contents almost no protection from the weather. In summer sun, paints, resins and pharmaceutical liquids can overheat. In winter, water-based products can freeze and separate. Either way, the batch may be rejected on arrival.
How It Works
Each cover is a two-piece set, made to your drum's exact diameter and height. The base sheet goes down first and the drum stands on it. The top cover, shaped like a fitted thermal blanket, then slides down over the drum and fastens to the base with Velcro, so the drum is protected on all sides. Metallised outer layers reflect over 97% of the sun's radiant heat, and the insulating core slows heat gain and loss.
