Its main use is as a practical container for paint or related products in painting and DIY jobs, helping to load rollers and brushes and to move the product easily around the work area.
2. What capacity in litres does this bucket have?
The exact capacity is not specified or verified for this particular "PLASTIC BUCKET" reference. Capacities in the Pentrilo range vary by model. Please check the official technical datasheet or product label for the exact volume.
3. What material is it made of?

Plastic buckets of this type are generally used with water-based wall paints and similar products. For solvent-based or very aggressive chemicals, you must confirm compatibility in the official technical datasheet or on the product label.
6. Is this bucket stackable?
Many plastic buckets are designed to be stacked for storage, but this feature is not explicitly verified for this specific model. Observe the design or consult the manufacturer to confirm stackability.
7. How should I clean the bucket after use?
As a general practice (not specific to this reference), remove as much paint as possible, then clean the bucket following the recommendations of the paint manufacturer (usually water and mild detergent for water-based paints). Do not pour paint residues into drains unless local regulations allow it.
8. Is it suitable for professional use?
Pentrilo is a brand widely used by professional painters. However, whether this exact bucket is intended for intensive professional use or for occasional DIY use is not clearly specified, so you should confirm the recommended use in the official documentation.

Section 14 – Transport information
The following transport-related information is generic and not specific or fully verified for this particular Pentrilo "PLASTIC BUCKET" model. Use it only as a practical guideline:
- Type of product for transport: Empty plastic container for painting uses. When transporting filled buckets, they are considered along with the nature of the contained product (for example, water-based paint, solvent-based product, etc.).
- Weight and handling: The bucket itself is light, but total weight when full will depend on its capacity and the density of the product inside. Always respect ergonomic load limits during manual handling.
- Stacking and storage during transport: If the design allows stacking, distribute the load evenly and avoid excessive height to prevent deformation of the lower buckets. This recommendation is generic and not specifically verified for this model.
- Securement in vehicles: During transport, buckets (especially when filled) should be secured so they cannot move, tip over or spill their contents. Use boxes, straps or separators when necessary.
- Regulatory aspects: The bucket itself is normally considered a non-hazardous plastic item. If it contains chemical products (paints, solvents, etc.), transport must follow the safety and regulatory requirements applicable to those products, not to the empty bucket.
Section 8 – Individual protection measures
The bucket itself does not usually require specific personal protective equipment (PPE). However, it is commonly used in painting and handling of chemical products, so the following recommendations are general safety guidelines for these tasks and are not specific or fully verified for this particular model:
- Hand protection: Use suitable protective gloves (for example, nitrile or other type recommended by the paint or product manufacturer) to avoid direct contact with wet paint or cleaning agents.
- Eye and face protection: When there is risk of splashes (filling the bucket, mixing products, loading rollers), wear safety glasses or a face shield according to the risk level.
- Skin and clothing protection: Use work clothing or coveralls that protect arms and legs from splashes. In more demanding environments, waterproof aprons may be appropriate.
- Respiratory protection: If you are working with paints or products that emit vapours or aerosols, follow the recommendations of the product safety data sheet and use adequate respiratory protection (for example, masks or respirators with the appropriate filter).
- Foot protection: Wear closed, non-slip safety footwear to reduce the risk of slipping on spilled paint and protect feet from impacts.
- Hygiene measures: Wash hands after using paints or cleaning products, avoid eating or drinking in the work area and keep the bucket and its surroundings tidy to prevent accidents.
These individual protection measures are general recommendations for painting and handling of chemical products and should always be complemented with the specific indications on the labels and safety data sheets of the products used.
