IBC tote tanks are an essential container for many industrial operations. Hazardous materials, chemicals, and dangerous goods are stored in IBCs. The food industry stores liquid, granulated, and powdered food ingredients, along with syrups, corn syrup, and molasses within IBC tote tanks. They are ideal for solvents, detergents, or adhesives.
