Additional Product Information



Each 55-gallon drum is a factory second, meaning it may have visible imperfections such as missed paint spots or slight scuffing.

These drums are not FDA-compliant and should not be used for food or potable water. They are designed for safe handling of chemicals, lubricants, and other non-edible substances. The rust-inhibitor lining ensures long-term storage reliability, while the closed-head design secures contents and minimizes contamination risk...
