Storing granular chemicals

For those of you that purchase Ox, Sodium Hydroxide, etc in bulk… What do you use to store what you need on the truck? I’ve been using plastic hard I bought on Amazon but they don’t last.

I use a small cooler for he ox and a bucket with a lid for the metasilicate.

I put my stuff in those plastic hard pretzel drums and the nut (cashews) containers. Then they go in a box on the trailer. Haven’t had any melt or break - and they get labeled. They are cheap and they are disposable. Some of the pool shop chem buckets are nice because they have screw on lids.

here is pic of the small buckets you can get with the screw on lid, pretty nice bucket TBH. That red plastic tab locks it in and they seal quite tight.

Very nice. Thank you both for the feedback.

5-gallon buckets with o-ring-sealed lids. From ULine. Along with labeling them, I use a different color for each powder.
