The Snyder Industries 220 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank (SII-66345) is a non-caged intermediate bulk container molded from high density linear polyethylene to a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which puts it in the heavy-chemistry class rather than the water-only tier. It stands 48.5 inches tall on a 45 x 45 inch footprint, and the stackable design lets you build vertically instead of consuming floor space. If you are still deciding whether a tote is even the right format, our guide on when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank and the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis walk through the volume-and-turnover math.
Will it work for your application?
The 1.9 SG rating is the number that matters most here. Filled with water this tote carries about 1,835 lb, but the polyethylene wall is rated to a maximum contents weight of 3,486 lb. Those two figures meet exactly at full capacity: 220 gallons of a 1.9 specific gravity fluid weighs roughly 3,486 lb, so 1.9 SG is the true fill ceiling at full volume, not a number you have headroom above. Confirm your fluid's specific gravity falls inside that envelope before you fill, and note that 1.9 SG is the top rating offered for this tote format, so there is no heavier-rated step-up to chase. The tank ships with two fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page: a 2-inch EPDM PE vacuum vent assembly and a heavy-duty 6-inch PE lid cap with a 2-inch NPT EPDM port and tether. Run the numbers for your liquid first with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. One stacking caveat: treat the stackable design as an empty/transport feature unless the OEM drawing or rating sheet confirms a filled-stack load — the published data here gives no filled-stack spec, so verify before stacking loaded totes.
Chemical compatibility
This is an HDLPE tote rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Its rating supports a broad range of industrial chemistries, but every selection must be confirmed against the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific, before service. The 1.9 SG rating is exactly why dense oxidizers and acids belong in this tote: sulfuric acid at 98% sits right against this envelope and is the canonical reason you need the full 1.9 rating, while a light fluid like DEF at 32.5% leaves wide weight margin. Compatible chemistries with their reference concentration and the recommended fitting and gasket materials include sulfuric acid (98%, CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets), hydrochloric acid (37%, PVC, Viton), phosphoric acid (85%, PVC, Viton), hydrofluoric acid (48%, PP or PVC, Viton), hydrofluosilicic acid (26%, PP or PVC, Viton), hydrogen peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), sodium hypochlorite (under 16.5%, PVC, Viton), peracetic acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas), acetic acid (60%, PP or PVC, EPDM), ferric chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM), ferric sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM), ferrous sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM), aluminum sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), polyaluminum chloride (PVC, EPDM), calcium chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), magnesium chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM), sodium carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), potassium carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM), potassium hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), sodium bisulfate (PVC or PP, EPDM), sodium bisulfite (PVC or PP, EPDM), sodium thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM), zinc orthophosphate (PP or 316SS, EPDM), propylene glycol (PP or 316SS, EPDM), ethylene glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM), DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM), urea solution (50%, PP or PVC, EPDM), and ozonated water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM).

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a chemical tote is matching the wall but not the fittings and gaskets. This tote ships with standard EPDM vent and cap seals, and EPDM is the wrong elastomer for many of the chemistries above. Match the seal to your fluid before you order:
- Viton gaskets for hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluosilicic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite.
- Aflas gaskets with 316SS fittings for peracetic acid.
- CPVC, PP, or 316SS fittings in place of the standard PVC where the resistance chart calls for them.
If you are pairing this tote with a secondary-containment plan, review the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guidance and our Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison.
