Product Information
Full details
This 1-litre KetoPlastics paint kettle is designed for decorators and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable container for mixing, storing, and transporting paints and other substances. Its primary benefit is keeping paint fresh and preventing contamination, offering a manageable portion for projects. A minor consideration is its focus on liquid and granular materials, making it less ideal for very fine powders without care. Key features include durable, washable plastic construction, a secure lid, a metal carrying handle, and temperature stability.

FAQs
What is the exact capacity of this paint kettle?

Can I store paint in this kettle long-term?
While ideal for mixing and temporary storage during a project, it is best suited for short-to-medium term use. For very long-term storage, original manufacturer containers are recommended.
Is the lid included with the kettle?
The product description does not specify if a lid is included. Please refer to the product listing for details on included accessories.
What are the dimensions of the kettle?
The external diameter is 13.5cm, the internal diameter is 12cm, and the height is 10cm.
Can this kettle be used for hot liquids?
Yes, the kettle is temperature-stable and can be used for hot liquids, though care should be taken when handling hot contents.
Is it safe to use with food products?
This kettle is designed for paints and industrial materials. It is not certified food-grade and should not be used for storing or preparing food.
How many kettles are included in a pack?
The variant described is for a single 1-litre kettle. There is a separate listing for a pack of 10.
Troubleshooting
Kettle has a persistent odor after cleaning
Ensure the kettle is thoroughly dried. For stubborn odors, try filling it with a solution of water and baking soda, letting it sit for a few hours, then rinsing and drying completely.
Handle feels loose
Check the rivets or attachment points of the metal handle. Ensure they are secure. If loose, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Plastic appears cloudy or stained
This is usually cosmetic and does not affect performance. Try cleaning with a mild bleach solution (diluted) or a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.
Compatibility: The KetoPlastics paint kettle is compatible with a wide range of substances including water-based paints, oil-based paints, solvents (within reasonable temperature limits), powders, granulates, and general household liquids. It is not recommended for highly aggressive chemicals or extremely high temperatures that could compromise the plastic.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, empty the kettle completely. Wash with warm, soapy water. A soft brush or sponge can be used to remove residue. For stubborn paint, allow it to soak briefly in water before cleaning.
- Drying: Allow the kettle to air dry thoroughly or wipe it dry with a clean cloth before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid (if applicable) is not sealed tightly to prevent pressure build-up if storing for extended periods with residual moisture.
- Reusability: This kettle is designed for multiple uses. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic surface.
