White Plastic Bucket with Lid, 2600 ml

A plastic bucket with lid, volume 2600 ml, is a complete container and screw-on lid made of polypropylene (PP), designed for mixing, storing and selling larger volumes of cosmetic raw materials and finished products. It is suitable wherever glass is too heavy or fragile: for preparing batches of soap mass, body scrubs, bath salts, masks or cream bases, as well as for storing powdered and loose raw materials, butters and waxes. The white material diffuses light, so light-sensitive contents are better protected than in a clear container. The entire set is approved for direct food contact as well as contact with cosmetics, so it serves equally well in a workshop as in a kitchen.

What the bucket with lid is suitable for

• Mixing larger batches – the wide opening and stable shape allow comfortable mixing by hand or with an immersion blender, for example when preparing soap mass, sugar and salt scrubs or bath salts.
• Storing raw materials – vegetable butters, waxes, clays, powders and salts all fit in the bucket. The lid limits access by moisture and dust, which is especially appreciated for raw materials that absorb moisture from the air.
• Retail packaging for larger volumes – the white bucket with lid is suitable as packaging for finished products sold in larger volumes, for example bath salts, scrubs or masks for salons.
• Lightweight and unbreakable material – polypropylene is significantly lighter than glass and does not shatter when dropped, making it suitable for carrying, transport and everyday handling in the workshop.
• Three quality certifications in one package – both the bucket and the lid are declared in cosmetic, food and technical quality, so the same container can be used for cosmetics, food and technical mixtures.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the volume for which the bucket is intended for normal filling. The total capacity to the brim is the physical volume of the container up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference represents the reserve for the lid and for expansion or movement of the contents during handling. The bucket should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. For foaming or expanding masses, leave an even larger reserve. Both values are listed in the parameters.

The lid screws onto the bucket and protects the contents from dust and moisture. When storing liquid contents and especially during transport, we recommend verifying the seal with the specific formulation, as the bucket is primarily intended for storage and use in an upright position.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash both the bucket and the lid, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Follow the same procedure for each subsequent use. Polypropylene withstands repeated washing without problems, so the container can be used for a long time.

Polypropylene is resistant to water, alcoholic solutions, oils, salts and common cosmetic raw materials. With concentrated essential oils or solvents that are in direct contact with the plastic for an extended period, we recommend verifying the material's behaviour with the specific formulation. Allow hot phases directly from heating to cool slightly before pouring; sudden temperature changes are not beneficial to plastic.

The surface of the bucket is suitable for labelling. The white colour stands out well with colour printing. The contents are not visible through the wall, which is an advantage for light-sensitive products and a disadvantage for products meant to attract by appearance.

Both the bucket and the lid are made from a single material, polypropylene, so after use they are recycled as plastic without the need to separate parts. Store them in a dry and clean environment.
