Is the IBC plug with male thread made of polypropylene compatible with all DIN EN 12713 threaded IBC containers and resistant to chemicals up to 7 bar working pressure?

Yes. The IBC plug with male thread made of polypropylene is compatible with all DIN EN 12713 threaded IBC containers: its trapezoidal external thread is manufactured to the DIN EN 12713 standard to ensure precise fit with threads from a wide range of producers. It is also resistant to chemicals and rated for working pressures up to 7 bar, offering durable chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and reliable sealing within the specified temperature range (-10°C to +70°C, short-term up to +80°C).

Can the IBC plug with male thread made of polypropylene be used in outdoor storage where temperatures drop below -10°C or rise above +80°C for short periods?

Yes. The IBC plug with male thread made of polypropylene Format can be used in outdoor storage where temperatures drop below −10°C or rise above +80°C for short periods, with the following considerations: - Normal operating range: −10°C to +70°C — fully suitable for routine outdoor conditions within this span. - Short-term excursions: the plug tolerates brief exposures up to +80°C, so occasional short heat spikes are acceptable. - Below −10°C: the stated operating range begins at −10°C, so prolonged exposure below this temperature is outside specification and may increase risk of material embrittlement or reduced sealing performance. Short, infrequent dips slightly below −10°C might be tolerated but are not guaranteed. - Mechanical and application factors: impact, sustained mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and pressure (up to 7 bar) also affect performance. For critical applications or frequent extreme temperature cycling, consider additional protective measures or validated low-temperature alternatives. In summary: suitable for outdoor use within −10°C to +70°C and for short-term peaks to +80°C; avoid prolonged use below −10°C or consult manufacturer for low-temperature qualification.
