- 56BL2Y is a 20 gallon yellow lab pack open head drum with a metal lever lock closure. This lightweight but durable plastic drum is suited to store both hazardous and non-hazardous materials. HDPE drums are ideal for handling and transporting hazardous materials, storing spill kits, spill containment, biowaste disposal, and shipping. This HDPE drum is also food grade so it can store a wide variety of products. Lab packs are often used with non-damaged bottles, cans, carboys, and 5-gallon pails of non-leaking hazardous materials. The vibrant yellow color is useful for color-coding in a warehouse or other facilities and is easily noticeable. The lever lock ring holds the cover on to the container with a latch that is pulled from one side to the other and applies torque to the two ring ends in a similar fashion to the bolt ring.

Plastic Containers That Can Hold Food!
Plastic continues to be a top choice across the food industry, from containers being used in restaurants to jars and bottles being popular for small businesses. It is important to make sure the right plastics are being used to hold food products in accordance with the FDA. Our product specialists are available to help explain what the differences are between FDA Approved, Compliant and Food Grade.
Material:
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 171°F; however, testing is recommended with your specific product and application.Disclaimer:
