Why Buyers Love This Tight Head HDPE Plastic Drum

A UV inhibitor is added to the resin of this natural drum, so it is suitable for outdoor use. The original single L-ring design offers great material handling and a long service life. Grab it by the integrally molded top ring with a parrot’s beak, side grabber, hoist, forklift or hand truck, or use the bottom handhold.

Where It Shines

This tight head HDPE plastic drum shares the same dimensions as a steel drum, so it drops into standardized handling and conveying lines. It is optimally drainable, so less product gets stranded at the bottom. The drum complies with FDA regulations for food and drugs and is UN rated UN1H1/Y1.9/100 for liquids. Two 2″ openings, one threaded and one buttress, come with EPDM rubber gaskets.
