The New Pig HDPE overpack salvage drum comes with a twist-on lid, has a 10-gallon capacity, and can be used to store, transport, and dispose of small, leaking containers of hazardous materials and help contain spills. The drum is made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which weighs less than steel, is resistant to dents, punctures, and certain chemicals, and may be incinerated. Ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors minimize fading and discoloring. Handles allow the drum to be carried. Two or more empty drums can nest for storage. The drum has a storage capacity of 10 gallons, weighs 9 lb., and measures 20-1/2" high and 12" in diameter. The wall of the drum is 1/8" thick.

This item has a United Nations (UN) specification marking of 1H2/Y54/S. (1H2 is the packaging code for a plastic open-head drum; Y is the performance level and indicates that the product has met tests for Packing Groups II and III; 54 indicates the maximum gross mass in kilograms; 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.
