UN 1H1 HDPE 5–55 gal

Tight-head HDPE drums

Closed-head barrels for chemicals, solvents, lubricants, and other liquids that need a sealed, stackable, UN-capable package.

Tight-head (non-removable head) drums are the workhorse of North American liquid packaging — the same category you will find at Mauser, Greif, Coexcell, and Core Plastech. We blow-mould them in HDPE with controlled wall distribution so they survive drop, stack, and hydraulic stress.

  • Two openings with leak-tight plugs and gaskets (typical 2" / NPS configurations)
  • Stacking rings / L-ring handling options
  • Natural, blue, black, and custom colors; large print area
  • Food-grade resin options where the application requires it
