The Eagle blue high-density polyethylene lab pack drum comes with a plastic lid and a metal lever-lock ring, has a 30-gallon capacity, and can be used to store, transport, and dispose of small, intact containers of hazardous materials and help contain spills. The drum is made of blue HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which weighs less than steel, is resistant to dents, punctures, and certain chemicals, and may be incinerated. The drum is blow-molded for wall strength and thinness. Ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors minimize fading and discoloring. The lever-lock ring can be used to secure the lid to the drum. Full drums can be stacked up to three high. The drum has a storage capacity of 30 gallons, weighs 15 lb., and measures approximately 28-1/2" high and 21-1/4" in diameter. It is suitable for holding containers with a capacity of 5 gallons or less.This product meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation 173.12 and United Nations (UN) standards concerning the packaging and shipping of hazardous materials. It can be used to store or transport hazardous materials in Packing Groups I, II, or III defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). It complies with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 177.1520 regarding food contact surfaces. It meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard 94 concerning the flammability of plastic materials. This item has United Nations (UN) specification markings of 1H2/X120/S and 1H2/Y180/S. (1H2 is the packaging code for a plastic open-head drum; X120 indicates that the product has met tests for Packing Groups I, II, and III at a maximum gross mass of 120 kg; Y180 indicates that the product has met tests for Packing Groups II and III at a maximum gross mass of 180 kg; and S is a designation for solids.)Hazardous storage drums are used to safely store, transport, and dispose of hazardous materials. They are typically made of polyethylene or steel. Open-head drums have a removable lid and can store hazardous solids or liquids. Closed-head drums have a fixed top, can store hazardous liquids, and have bung holes for filling and pouring. Salvage drums, also known as overpack drums and recovery drums, can be used to store and transport smaller containers that hold hazardous materials and that are damaged or leaking. Certain drums may be incinerated along with the waste itself. Hazardous storage drums may meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and other federal regulations and United Nations (UN) guidelines regarding the storage and shipment of hazardous materials. Hazardous storage drums are often assigned a UN code to indicate the container type, performance level, specific gravity, hydrostatic test pressure, and other information. Hazardous storage drums are used in a variety of industries involved with manufacturing, shipping, and environmental services.Eagle Manufacturing Company manufactures industrial safety, haz-mat, and storage products that meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for quality assurance.
