20 gallon open head stainless steel drum, item 8ST2004, is an FDA compliant UN rated 304 stainless steel drum for food, drugs, fragrances, solids, liquids, and purity-critical storage. You get a clean, strong container built for products that need careful handling, dependable containment, and long service life. This drum uses 304 stainless steel to help protect contents from rust, staining, and many common corrosion issues. That makes it a smart choice when product quality matters from storage through transfer. The open head style gives you wide access, so you can fill, inspect, clean, and empty the drum with less effort.

The welded and reinforced chime adds support where drums often take the most wear during movement and handling. A smooth 2B finish helps create a cleaner contact surface for sensitive materials. For 4 gallon through 20 gallon open head sizes, the drum is sealed with seaming compound rather than welded. This 20 gallon stainless steel drum is specially designed for food, drug, and fragrance applications where purity is critical. It carries a UN rating of 1A2/X160/S for solids and 1A2/Y1.5/150 for liquids. Those ratings help you match the drum to approved storage or shipping needs. At 29 lb, this drum offers solid strength without becoming too bulky for normal material handling. The 1.2 mm top, body, and bottom gauge gives balanced durability across the full container. Use it when you need a reusable stainless drum that supports clean storage, strong containment, and easy access.

This 20 gallon open head stainless steel drum works well for production rooms, laboratories, food plants, fragrance blending areas, and regulated storage spaces. You can use it for dry ingredients, approved liquids, powders, and sensitive batch materials when the product must stay clean and protected from standard steel drum concerns. The open head format is useful when you need to scoop, pour, mix, or clean the drum between uses. Its 304 stainless steel build helps reduce contamination risk in many handling settings. The listed 1.2/1.2/1.2 mm gauge gives you a clear strength reference for the top, body, and bottom.
