Can steel strapping seals be used to strap and seal chemical raw material barrels?

Can steel strapping seals be used to bundle and seal chemical raw material barrels? The score depends on the situation. Explain the following points clearly:

The steel strip used for strapping goods is not acceptable:
The steel strapping used in logistics transportation to tie boxes, pallets, or large goods (such as those with buttons or seals) cannot tie chemical raw material barrels. It is mainly used to prevent goods from shifting and falling apart on the road, and it cannot be tightly tied to the hard and slippery curved surface of the bucket. Most chemical barrels contain dangerous substances such as acids, alkalis, and solvents, and even a slight leak can cause accidents. This type of steel strip can either slip or not be tightly fastened when tied, and may even scratch the barrel. It's just a blind trick.  

Steel bucket sealer, can be used but depends on the bucket:
There is a sealing device specifically designed for use on steel drums (such as iron drums), such as a closure with an inner lever (like the one mentioned in search results), which is used to seal the lid of steel drums. This thing is like a big clamp, stuck at the edge of the barrel lid, using the principle of leverage to press the sealing ring tightly, tightly fastening the barrel lid and ensuring reliable leak prevention. It was originally designed for steel drums, so if you are using this standard 55 gallon steel drum to store chemical raw materials, using this sealer is completely acceptable and a legitimate practice.  

Plastic chemical drums are generally not suitable for:
Nowadays, many chemical raw materials are stored in plastic drums (such as HDPE material) or ton drums (IBC) with steel frame support on the outside. This type of barrel is sealed by a threaded lid at the barrel mouth or a specialized valve sealing structure. Steel strapping or steel drum sealers are not necessary or compatible with these plastic drums. The structure of the plastic barrel mouth is not designed for this type of steel strip sealing. If it is forcefully fitted, it may not fit properly, or the seal may not be tight enough and the barrel mouth may be damaged. The sealing of plastic buckets can only be ensured by their own designed lid and sealing ring.  

Emergency leak sealing strapping (can be used in special situations, but not in barrels):
There is another type of product with a similar name, called "pressurized leak sealing strapping", which is specifically used for temporary leak sealing, such as when a pipeline or valve interface leaks and cannot be stopped. It is like a specially made steel strip wrapped around the leak point, and sealant can be injected in the middle to cover the leak. This is a special operation with high risks, requiring professional personnel to operate, and it is for temporary emergency use, not a conventional barrel sealing method. You can't expect to use it to tie up the entire chemical drum for sealing, that's not its purpose at all.  

Safety is a hard lever:
The sealing of chemical raw material barrels prioritizes safety. Whether using specialized steel drum sealers or plastic drum lids, they must strictly follow chemical specifications. Using steel straps for strapping goods or casually using emergency leak prevention belts to deal with them carries too much risk and can easily lead to leaks, fires, and even poisoning and explosions. The relevant safety management regulations (such as the hazardous chemical management guidelines issued in Shandong and Zhejiang provinces) emphasize that the packaging and sealing of hazardous chemicals must be standardized and not manipulated.
