Overpack Drum – 76 Litre / 20 Gal

What exactly is an overpack drum?

An overpack drum serves as a container specifically engineered to offer extra protection and containment for smaller containers during both storage and transport. This type of drum is utilised when the integrity of the original container has been compromised or when there is a need to consolidate multiple smaller containers.

The main function of an overpack drum is to avert leaks, spills, and additional harm to the original containers, while also simplifying handling and transportation. Essentially, it functions as a secondary vessel that encases and secures the primary containers inside it.

Why Blow-Moulded HDPE?

HDPE is specially formulated for high durability and impact resistance, making it ideal for demanding environments. Benefits include:

• Excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking (ESCR)
• High impact strength, even in cold conditions
• Superior flexural modulus for lasting performance
• Broad chemical resistance
• Abrasion resistance to prevent scuffs and wear
• Weather protection with integrated UV stabilisers
