Product Details
The Eagle® 55 gallon lab pack/open head drum is made of durable black blow-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV inhibitors, making it lightweight, weather-resistant, and resistant to chemicals. This drum features a white lid secured with a plastic lever-lock band closure, ensuring safe storage, handling, and transportation of hazardous materials, as well as spill containment and cleanup. It serves as an original shipping container and is suitable for 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; when used with leaking materials, it must be packed with sufficient sorbents and contain no free liquids. Compliance with DOT 49 CFR 173.12 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 indicates food-grade quality, while it has a UL 94HB flammability rating. The drum includes two bung holes measuring 1x2" and 1x3/4". Its interior dimensions are 22-7/8" (58.1cm) at the top, 19" (48.3cm) at the bottom, and a height of 38-5/8" (98cm).
