Storing temperature sensitive materials in IBCs during the winter can present a real problem. As fluid products freeze and expand, IBC tanks and totes can crack, rupture, and even explode. Colder temperatures can also cause viscosity problems for industrial fluids. Applied heat reduces fluid viscosity making it easier to pour, pump, dispense, and work with.
