To lessen disruptive closure noise in quiet environments use SoundGard Models which incorporate a muffling pad inside the lid reducing noise by 200% over standard models.
OSHA compliant Justrite oily waste cans are essential whenever solvent cloths and wiping rags are used. Rags and cloths soaked with solvents, thinners, linseed oil, combustible adhesives and other flammable liquids present a serious fire risk when improperly discarded.
The specially designed lid opens no more than 60 degrees and stays closed when not in use, isolating contents from fire sources and limiting oxygen so spontaneous combustion risk is virtually eliminated. Round construction and elevated bottom encourage circulation of air around can to disperse heat and reduce moisture buildup and rusting.
