Product Overview
The ICI Composite Drums, developed and manufactured by Wuxi Sifang Youxin Co., Ltd., represent an advanced generation of industrial packaging solutions designed to meet the most demanding safety, durability, and chemical resistance requirements.
“ICI” refers to an integrated composite inner-lining technology, which combines the mechanical strength of a high-grade steel shell with the superior corrosion and contamination resistance of a polymer or coated interior. This hybrid structure ensures the highest performance in chemical compatibility, leak prevention, and product purity, making ICI Composite Drums the preferred choice for industries such as chemicals, coatings, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, and specialty materials.
With a balance between structural rigidity, environmental compliance, and long-term reusability, these drums are engineered for companies seeking sustainable yet high-performance packaging solutions.

Key Product Advantages
1.Hybrid Structural Integrity
The ICI Composite Drum combines a strong outer steel shell with a chemically resistant inner lining, ensuring both mechanical protection and barrier integrity even under harsh conditions.
2.Exceptional Chemical Compatibility
The inner composite layer is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive substances, preventing metal contact and ensuring product stability during long-term storage.
3.Enhanced Safety and Leakage Prevention
The dual-layer structure and precision-sealed seams minimize leakage risks, making these drums compliant with international transport safety standards (UN-approved).
4.Superior Corrosion Resistance
Both the interior and exterior surfaces are treated with advanced coatings or composite materials to resist oxidation, moisture, and chemical attack.
5.Environmentally Sustainable Design
The inner polymer lining or water-based coatings reduce VOC emissions and allow for safe reuse or recycling, aligning with modern environmental and ESG requirements.
6.Customizable Functional Design
Available in both open-head and closed-head forms, ICI composite drums can be tailored to different product types — from viscous liquids to fine powders or food-grade materials.
Product Composition and Structure
The ICI Composite Drum features a carefully engineered multi-layer structure, integrating materials and coatings optimized for both performance and safety:
Outer Steel Body:
Constructed from precision-rolled carbon steel sheets.
Provides high strength, impact resistance, and long-term durability.
Can include parallel reinforcement rings for added rigidity.
Inner Composite Lining:
A bonded polymer film or high-performance coating applied to the drum’s interior.
Acts as a barrier layer, isolating the product from direct contact with steel.
Ensures chemical stability, purity, and extended product shelf life.
Closure System:
For open-head drums: removable lid with bolt or clamp ring, featuring a sealing gasket.
For closed-head drums: integrated top with standardized 2” and ¾” bungs for easy filling and emptying.
External Coating:
Optional solvent-based or eco-friendly waterborne coating.
Provides UV, rust, and weather protection during transport and outdoor storage.
Assembly and Manufacturing Process
Each ICI Composite Drum is produced through an advanced automated process to ensure precision and quality consistency:
Sheet Forming and Rolling → Formation of drum body and reinforcement rings.
Seam Welding and Bottom Assembly → Fully welded seams ensure leak-proof integrity.
Surface Pretreatment → Chemical cleaning and phosphor-free surface preparation.
Inner Lining Application → Composite layer or coating applied through heat bonding or electrostatic spraying.
Baking and Curing → Ensures adhesion and durability of the internal and external coatings.
Final Assembly and Quality Testing → Leak, drop, and pressure testing before packaging and shipment.
Applications
The ICI Composite Drums are widely used in high-value, high-sensitivity, and export-oriented sectors, including:
Chemical Industry: For storing solvents, resins, adhesives, and catalysts.
Paints & Coatings: Suitable for both solvent-based and water-based coatings.
Food Industry: Ideal for edible oils, flavorings, and liquid food additives (with food-grade lining).
Pharmaceuticals: For bulk active ingredients, intermediates, and sanitizing agents.
Agricultural Products: For pesticides, fertilizers, and additives.
Lubricants and Petrochemicals: For oils, greases, and specialized fluids.
