A composite IBC (intermediate bulk container) is a bulk liquid container consisting of a blow-molded HDPE bottle housed inside a galvanized steel cage, on a pallet. Designed for storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous liquid filling goods, composite IBC totes are available in 135-gallon, 275-gallon (1,000L) and 330-gallon (1,250L) sizes and can be configured for a wide range of industries and applications. Mauser composite IBCs are available new or reconditioned.

Composite IBCs are the most commonly used IBC type because they combine the chemical compatibility of an HDPE bottle with the strength and protection of a steel cage. Stainless steel IBCs are typically used for highly corrosive or ultra-pure products. All-plastic IBCs, such as the Poly-MT IBC, provide a smart, durable, reusable solution for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive applications. Mauser offers composite, stainless steel, and all-plastic IBCs to meet a wide range of product and regulatory requirements.

Yes. Mauser composite IBCs are UN-certified for the transportation of hazardous materials. Options include UN Y1.9 for high-density filling goods up to a specific gravity of 1.9 kg/l and fit for purpose UN Y1.6 rating for lower density products with a specific gravity up to 1.6 kg/l. All UN-certified IBCs comply with international packaging regulations governing the transportation of dangerous goods.

Mauser composite IBC totes are available in 135-gallon, 275-gallon (1,000L), and 330-gallon (1,250L) sizes. All sizes can be configured with a range of bottle types, valve options, and pallet types to meet your specific application requirements.

Mauser composite IBCs are available with composite, plastic, and wooden pallet options. Composite pallets (steel and plastic combination) are ideal for demanding supply chains and high-rack storage. Plastic pallets are a hygienic option, making them popular in food and pharmaceutical applications. Wooden pallets provide a cost-effective solution and are available in multiple configurations, including export-friendly designs. The best choice depends on your product, handling requirements, and logistics needs.

Composite IBC bottles are available in a variety of configurations to support specific product requirements. Options include food‑safe, antistatic, UV stabilized, UL‑certified, barrier, and PCR.

Yes. Every Mauser composite IBC tote is fully configurable to meet your product application. Buyers can specify bottle type (antistatic, barrier, food-safe, reconditioned, UV, or PCR), valve type (butterfly, cylindrical, or ball), filling opening size (DN 150 or DN 225), pallet type, and label plate size. Mauser's team can help configure the right combination for your filling good, industry requirement, and operational need.

Composite IBC totes are widely used across chemicals, food and beverage, petrochemicals and lubricants, paints, coatings, inks and dyes, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, construction, and agrochemicals.

The Infinity Series composite IBC is designed for companies looking to reduce packaging-related emissions without sacrificing performance. It features a two-layer bottle with recycled Recolene® PCR resin on the outside and virgin HDPE on the inside, maintaining product compatibility while reducing environmental impact. Depending on configuration, Infinity Series IBCs can contain up to 35% PCR content and deliver up to a 28% lower CO₂ footprint than a standard composite IBC. Plastic pallet versions can achieve up to 60% PCR content overall.

Yes. Through Recover Syst-M, Mauser can collect eligible empty composite IBCs and either wash, rebottle, or recycle them. Reconditioned IBCs can deliver up to an 80% lower carbon footprint compared to new packaging while helping companies reduce waste. Materials that cannot be reused are recycled into Recolene® PCR resin for use in new packaging products.
