The SIA film ‘Solvents and IBCs’ deals with the hazards associated with the use of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) with solvent products.

The film covers the selection of the correct type of IBC for particular solvents, operational and transport legislation, best practice in filling and decanting operations and routine inspection and maintenance.

It is recommended that the information provided within this short film is utilised in combination with that supplied in our related Guidance Note 51 – Selection of IBCs for Handling Hydrocarbon and Oxygenated Solvents.
