i work in a chemical plant and we use these to send out hair dyes that we make to our customers, im not sure what metal the're made from, they are quite light but strong ( you cant crush them ) and they have some sort of lacquer inside. there not mild steel because they dont rust.

Could be dural. It looks like aluminium but is stronger. We used to use it a lot when I worked in the relay shop at RPL.

We've been known to put our King Keg in the wardrobe of our motorhome - day after we arrive on-site, it's all settled down again and ready to sup :)
