Lab Packs, Overpacks and Salvage Drums Provide Safe Storage and Handling of Hazardous Materials.

Blow-molded Poly Drums Offer Durability And Chemical Resistance

Lab packs, overpacks and salvage drums made of durable high density polyethylene provide excellent containment for hazardous materials. Blow-molded HDPE drums have a very high molecular weight designed for an optimum balance of density, weight distribution and high impact resistance. These durable poly drums are resistant to environmental stress cracks, while possessing incredible impact strength, even in low temperatures. Operating temperature range is -30 degrees F to 130 degrees F.

Poly drums offer chemical resistance to a wide range of chemicals. It's UV protection provides superior blending process that ensures this drums won't fade or discolor in ultra violet light.

Over Packs - for use with larger non-damaged bottles, cans and drums of non-leaking hazardous materials. If leaking, must pack with sufficient sorbents for - NO FREE LIQUIDS.

Salvage Drums - for use with damaged or leaking containers of hazardous materials or used absorbent materials contaiminated with a hazardous substance. Require "Salvage Drum" labeling and must pass a 3-PSI pressure test.

What do the UN/DOT Markings Mean?
