The SPLA55DRUM is a 55-gallon open head poly drum designed for flexible spill response and safe containment needs. Its durable blow-molded High Density Polyethylene construction provides resistance to many chemicals and exposure to extreme weather, making it suitable for field use or storage in facilities. The drum’s design supports both emergency sorbent kits and use as a transport or shipping container, offering a versatile solution for spill cleanup materials or hazardous material handling. The lever-lock closure enhances security during storage, handling, or transportation, and the unit is nestable for efficient warehousing. Built in the USA with options such as UV protection and a flammability rating, this drum is also designed to meet considerations for incineration and biowaste disposal, depending on local and regulatory requirements.
Key features contribute to practical versatility: the drum is UN Certified to HM-181 and approved for Packing Groups I, II and III, which matters when considering cross-border shipping or multi-environment use. Its 24 by 24 by 40 inch footprint, yellow color, and FDA Food Grade Quality option (21 CFR 177.1520) reflect intended handling and compatibility in lab, industrial, and processing settings. The product can be filled with SpillTech sorbents to establish a ready spill kit, stored under weather exposure within its operating range of -30 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and stacked up to three high at maximum weight for space-efficient storage. It is also suitable for reuse as an original shipping container when appropriate packaging regulations permit.
Practitioner considerations: the drum is designed to be reusable while supporting safe, compliant handling of hazardous materials. Operators should verify packaging compatibility with their specific chemical loads and ensure alignment with local, state, and federal shipping rules. As with any open-head drum, inspection for integrity and proper closure is recommended after each use, and storage should follow label instructions for sorbents or residuals. In summary, SPLA55DRUM offers a cost-effective, versatile option for emergency spill response, waste disposal, or shipping applications that require a durable HDPE 55-gallon container.
