Composite Drums

Our composite drums are typically constructed with a steel outer shell and a plastic HDPE inner liner. This design offers the durability and strength of steel with the chemical resistance and cleanliness of plastic. Our tight head composite drums are especially suited for demanding applications, including aggressive or corrosive materials.

The safe fill temperature for composite drums depends on the specific material being filled and its compatibility with the HDPE liner. While our empty composite drums are built with durable liners, fill temperatures should always remain within the limits recommended for HDPE packaging. For best performance, we recommend avoiding high-temperature fills that could compromise the integrity of the liner. If elevated temperatures are required for your application, we also offer drum heaters and accessories designed to safely warm contents after filling rather than exceeding recommended fill temperatures. As with all industrial packaging, it’s important to evaluate your product’s requirements and ensure compatibility with the composite drum prior to use.

Yes, our composite drums include UN-rated options suitable for transporting hazardous materials. Our 55-gallon model is tested and certified to meet stringent UN performance standards for liquids, ensuring safe handling and shipment. These qualities make our empty composite drums a dependable choice for industries handling hazardous or regulated substances.
