Igloo Coolers - FDA-Grade Polypropylene
Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:49 am
I was searching for an inexpensive container to mix my brewing water additions in and I found the following on the Igloo Cooler website.
"What materials is my cooler made of?
Hard-side coolers: The exterior body of most Igloo hard-side coolers is made of high-density polyethylene, while the interior liner is made of FDA-grade polypropylene. The insulation is made of Ultratherm™ - a proprietary blend of polyurethane foam. "
I always thought the 5-10 gallon beverage coolers were food grade and safe to store drinking water in, I wasn't so sure about their larger coolers that are typically used for storing drinks in cans or bottles. Now that I know the inside of all their hard walled coolers are made with food grade material I'll pick up the Igloo 60-Quart Ice Cube Roller Cooler at Walmart for $24.44 to use as a water mixing/storage container.
