How I wish I can send a stainless steel drums back home easily for my dad to use in the island. Stainless steel drum is corrosion resistance and it’s perfect in the island. I’m not sure if he still has the drums that hubby bought a year ago; last time I talked to him he mentioned that he needed one already. I wonder drumsofsteel.com can ship internationally, will check that out.

For you guys out there, here are the Stainless Steel Container Advantages: [source: drumsofsteel.com]

Appearance - Use of type 304 stainless steel with 2-B food grade finish assures clean and attractive appearance for the entire life of the container.

Strength & Durability - Considerably greater than carbon steel, plastics and other materials.

Handling - Standard configuration eliminates use of special material handling equipment. Lighter weight makes handling much easier, convenient and safer than heavier stainless drums.

Cleaning - Easily cleaned with water and mild detergents.

Economy - Continuous recycling when used as a shipping drum or unlimited use as a storage container. In addition, if scrapped, stainless steel has the highest return value versus substitute products.
