Will the fluorinated stacking barrels affect the barrel deformation or safety under load pressure?

In industrial packaging and logistics transportation, fluorinated stacking barrels are widely used for storing and transporting various liquids or chemical raw materials due to their stability and corrosion resistance. As a container with special surface treatment, it has high standards in structural design and material selection. In actual use, stacking barrels are often affected by factors such as vertical stacking, long-term load and environmental changes. Therefore, people are particularly concerned about whether the barrel will deform or bring safety hazards under load pressure.
Fluorination treatment itself does not directly enhance the structural strength of the barrel, but it can effectively improve the surface chemical corrosion resistance of the barrel, making the barrel more stable and reliable when containing volatile and corrosive liquids. However, whether it can resist the pressure from the weight above mainly depends on the structural strength, wall thickness design, material density and rationality of the overall force layout of the barrel itself. A well-designed stacking barrel should have a certain compressive resistance in both empty and fully loaded states, and be able to withstand the vertical pressure brought by similar barrels above at a reasonable stacking height.
The deformation of the barrel often occurs when the local structural design is insufficient or the material is fatigued. Especially under heavy load or long-term stacking conditions, if the stacking contact surface is uneven, or there is no good fitting structure between the barrel cover and the barrel bottom, it may lead to uneven force, causing problems such as bulging of the barrel wall, deformation of the barrel bottom, and loose barrel cover. Such situations not only affect the service life, but may also cause leakage or dumping of the contents, bringing difficulties to on-site operations and certain safety hazards.
In order to prevent this from happening, the structure of the barrel body usually adopts an outer shape design with reinforcing ribs or annular protrusions to physically enhance its overall compressive strength. These structural designs not only enhance the barrel wall's resistance to internal and external pressures, but also allow multiple barrels to fit together more firmly when stacked, reducing the risk of sliding or tilting. If the barrel cover has a tightening sealing structure and forms a rigid connection with the barrel mouth, it can also effectively enhance the overall compressive resistance and avoid loosening of the seal due to excessive stacking.
The type of plastic material used for stacking barrels also has a direct impact on the load-bearing performance. Common barrel materials, such as high-density polyethylene, have certain toughness and strength. After the molding process and structural reinforcement, they can withstand vertical gravity pressure within a certain range without obvious deformation. In addition, the surface layer after fluorination treatment also has a certain hardening effect, which can help improve the local compression performance to a certain extent, making it more suitable for stacking in layers during storage or transportation.
