Eagle 1655MB Open Head Drum 55 Gal Blue Polyethylene

Product Description

The EAGLE 1655MB is a 55-gallon open head drum designed for storage and transport of liquids and bulk materials. Constructed from high-density polyethylene, this drum resists a broad range of chemicals and provides reliable containment in industrial, commercial, and facility maintenance applications. The tapered cylinder shape simplifies nesting and handling when empty. A lever lock ring secures the plain polyethylene lid with a silicone seal, maintaining a tight closure during storage and transit. At 23.5 pounds, the drum is manageable for single-person positioning before filling. UN ratings of 1H2/X200/S and 1H2/Y250/S confirm suitability for regulated liquid transport when applicable.

This drum is suited for use in chemical storage, waste collection, fluid transfer, and general industrial liquid containment. The blue color coding assists with material identification in facilities that maintain color-coded drum inventories. The white polyethylene lid with lever lock ring closure is included. This drum is appropriate for use by chemical handlers, maintenance technicians, environmental service crews, and facility operations personnel who require a durable, reusable open head container.
