208L Closed-Head Plastic Drum (Double Ring)
Twin-ring 200L HDPE tight-head drum for chemicals, additives and edible oils.
Overview
The 208L double-ring closed-head drum is the heavy-duty member of our HDPE range. Two reinforcing rings around the body resist hoop stress during stacking, while high-molecular-weight polyethylene keeps the wall tough at low temperature. It is the default choice for liquid chemicals, industrial additives, edible oil and juice concentrates shipped in 20-foot containers.
