Heavy-duty 55 gallon closed-head (tight-head) plastic drum built for storing and shipping liquids — syrups, oils, sanitizers, agricultural chemicals, and other bulk fluids. The sealed top with dual 2" bung openings provides an airtight package that protects contents in transit and long-term storage.

Molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a 2.2 mm wall, and UN rated 1H1/Y1.9/100 for regulated liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity. Fittings include one 2" fine/NPS threaded opening and one 2" coarse/buttress threaded opening with EPDM rubber gasketed caps.
