Product Details
The Eagle® 55 gallon lab pack/open head/straight sided drum is constructed of black blow-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV inhibitors, making it both durable and lightweight while being weather and chemical resistant. It features a white lid with a plastic lever-lock band closure, providing safe storage, handling, and transportation of hazardous materials, as well as spill containment and cleanup of hazardous materials, and is suitable for use as an original shipping container, bio waste disposal, and incineration. The drum is designed for use with smaller non-damaged bottles, cans, carboys, and 5-gallon pails of non-leaking hazardous materials, and if used with leaking materials, it must be packed with sufficient sorbents, ensuring no free liquids are present. It complies with DOT 49 CFR 173.12 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 food grade quality standards, and has a UL 94HB flammability rating. The interior dimensions of the drum are 20-5/8" (31 cm) at the top, 22-1/8" (56.2 cm) at the bottom, and 35-13/16" (91 cm) in height.
