Engineered for reliability, durability, and safety, the 55-Gallon Black Open-Head Steel Drum with Rust Inhibitor and EPDM Seal is a high-quality container specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial storage and transportation. Constructed from premium 18-gauge cold rolled steel, this drum is built to withstand tough environmental conditions while offering long-lasting performance. Featuring an open-head design, it allows full access to the interior for easy filling, dispensing, or cleaning. The removable lid includes a heavy-duty lever lock ring, providing a secure closure that helps prevent leaks and spills during transport or storage. This steel drum is particularly suitable for the containment of solid or semi-solid hazardous materials and is fully compliant with UN performance-oriented packaging standards. Certified with UN Ratings 1A2/Y1.8/200 & 1A2/X400/S, this drum guarantees safe handling of potentially dangerous substances under DOT 49 CFR regulations. The rust-inhibitor lining helps prevent flash rusting, maintaining the integrity of the container when temporarily exposed to moisture or humid conditions. However, for extended chemical storage, a lined drum is recommended. Each unit includes an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) gasket known for excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and chemicals, contributing to a leak-proof seal. This makes the drum ideal for various industrial uses including manufacturing, waste management, chemicals, and agriculture. With its substantial 55-gallon capacity, this drum offers extensive space for a variety of applications, while its reinforced steel construction ensures superior strength and resistance to crushing or deformation.
