A non-metallic industrial container having a fire resistant outer layer made from a polymer or other thermoplastic resin filled with an intumescent powder and forming part of the structure of the container is provided. The container may be a plastic drum, fibre drum, composite intermediate bulk container or other suitable industrial container.
