High density polyethylene (HDPE ) is the most commonly used resin. This economical plastic has good impact and chemical resistance, is naturally translucent and flexible. It is typically used for personal care products such as shampoo bottles. Adding color will give HDPE an opaque look that will result in an increase in weight and rigidness. We have a variety of these rigid and tough high density polyethylene products in stock, from containers, pails, bottles, caps, tubs and jugs. HDPE works well in below freezing temperatures. HDPE heat compatibility varies. Maximum fill temperature is generally around 145°F; however, testing is recommended with your specific product and application.

Q & A
Customer Questions
Can this drum hold fuel?
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this drum can store fuel, but it is not recommended to store fuel for extended periods of time. Two alternatives for this purpose are Part #56W15N, 15 Gallon Natural Tight Head Plastic Drum, UN Rated, 2" & 3/4" Fittings, and Part #56W15W, 15 Gallon White Tight Head Plastic Drum, UN Rated, 2" & 3/4" Fittings. Both are UN rated and DOT certified. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
What are the torque specs for the bungs on this plastic tight head drum?
The plug or cap is inserted into the appropriate opening and screwed down “hand tight” until the gasket is in contact with the sealing surface. A torque wrench capable of applying the proper torque to the fitting as specified by the closing instructions following is then used to tighten the plug or cap until it reaches the pre-set torque as indicated by a release or click. These wrenches should be calibrated at least annually. All non-removable head, UN 1H1, and 1H1W Plastic Drums, 49 CFR § 178.509(a)(1), 15 gallon to 65 gallon nominal capacity supplied with plug or screw cap closures with gaskets must be closed for shipment using only the closures and gaskets supplied and specified in the design qualification test for the drum as indicated below: 2" NPS solid and vented: EPDM; Buna; FPM; 20-25 ft.-lbs. and 3/4" NPS solid and vented: EPDM; Silicone; FPM 6-9 ft.-lbs. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
