Description
Polyethylene Spill Containment Drum (often referred to as an Overpack Salvage Drum, Poly-Overpack Drum, or Salvage Container) is a specialized, oversized polyethylene container primarily used for the safe and temporary containment of damaged, leaking, or non-compliant drums and barrels.Its essential function is to act as secondary containment and regulatory-compliant packaging during the transport, storage, or cleanup of hazardous materials, preventing spills from damaged primary containers from escaping into the environment.
Features:
- Robust Polyethylene Construction: Molded from high-density polyethylene which is extremely durable, lightweight, and inherently resistant to a very wide range of chemicals, acids, bases, and corrosives.
- Leak-Proof and Seamless: Designed with a seamless, single-piece construction to guarantee maximum containment security and prevent any liquid from escaping the unit.
- High Visibility: Typically molded in a high-visibility color (e.g., yellow) for easy identification as a container for hazardous or spill materials.
- Regulatory Compliance: Designed to meet stringent DOT (Department of Transportation requirements for salvage drums, making them legally viable for overpacking and transporting hazardous materials and waste
- Emergency Spill Response: Used by spill teams to quickly contain leaking or punctured drums during a cleanup operation.
