Fall is officially here, and the temperatures are starting to drop!
Cooler temperatures can thicken oils, lubricants, waxes, and other materials, making them harder to pump, pour, and dispense. Keep your operation running smoothly as temperatures drop with the right drum heating solutions.
BASCO carries drum heaters to help maintain product temperatures, manage viscosity, and keep materials moving through your operation as the seasons change.
Don't let cooler temperatures slow down production. Beat the cold with BASCO.

Innovation is what drives industry. Creativity and innovation exist in a state of flow; with creativity leading to new ideas, and then those same ideas sparking creativity.

At BASCO, we try to stay on top of the latest trends and innovations to make sure that we can offer the most effective products available. Here's our list of some of the most innovative packaging solutions available at BASCO:

1. Baritainer™ plastic containers - Composed of a special plastic resin designed to replace tin or fluorinated plastic containers, this revolutionary material allows for simpler storage and transportation of volatile organic compounds.

2. CurTec™ UV safe packaging - Hitting a niche in the packaging industry that was previously difficult to fill, these containers offer a solution to sun damage. Keeping products safe and UV rays out, these containers are available in both small or bulk sizes, and with UN ratings where necessary.

3. Cubitainers® - It's simple that cubes are easier and more efficient to stack and store than spheres. Cubitainers® take that simple truth, and make it into a fantastic liquid storage container. With their cubic shape, these marvels of packaging allow you to stack and store more liquid than ever before.

The best part about all of these products? They're all available right now on BASCOUSA.com. Search any of their names on our website today to find out more, and place an order if you like what you see!
