(New) 55 Gallon Steel Closed Head, Composite Drum, 2 Bung Top

55 Gallon Steel Closed Head Composite Drum

The New 55 Gallon Steel Closed Head Composite Drum prioritizes strength, safety, and long-term performance. By utilizing a 19-gauge steel body and a 62.5-mil HDPE composite liner, this drum offers durable protection for liquids and semi-liquids during storage and transport.

Engineered for Versatility

Because of its composite design, the drum successfully combines the durability of steel with the chemical resistance of plastic. Consequently, it serves as an ideal vessel for hazardous and non-hazardous materials such as chemicals, inks, detergents, lubricants, and industrial liquids.

Furthermore, the drum features two 2-inch poly BTR fittings on the cover with EPDM O-rings to create a weather-resistant seal. To ensure reliable toughness in demanding environments, we manufactured the unit with 17-gauge top steel and a 19-gauge body and bottom.

Compliance and Performance

In addition, this UN Rated 6HA1/X1.9/300 drum meets all DOT 49 CFR standards for transporting regulated materials. For this reason, chemical manufacturers, ink producers, and waste management facilities trust this solution for safe, compliant containment.
