The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a Lincoln, Nebraska-built bulk container engineered for industrial process fluids, water transfer, and chemical storage where a footprint-efficient, stackable design matters. Molded in blue High Density Linear Polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, this IBC tote carries one of the heaviest contents ratings in its class, making it a workhorse for operations that have outgrown drums but are not ready for a fixed bulk tank.
Will it work for your application?
This tote stands 62 inches tall on a 46 x 46 inch footprint, so it palletizes and stacks cleanly in tight storage and process areas. Filled with water it weighs roughly 2,294 lb, and the 1.9 SG construction supports a maximum rated contents weight of 4,358 lb, which is what lets you run dense chemistries that would over-stress a standard 1.0 to 1.5 SG container. Confirm your forklift, rack, and floor loading against that full weight before you fill. Factory outlet and fitting sizes are configured at order, so see the technical drawing on this page for outlet and fitting locations and call 866-418-1777 to confirm your configuration. If you are weighing an IBC against a drum or a fixed bulk tank for your volume and turnover, our Container vs Tank guide and the Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank break-even analysis work the math. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to size around your dispensing cadence.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is molded in HDLPE rated to 1.9 specific gravity, which is the top of this line and the reason it suits heavy, aggressive chemistries lighter containers cannot hold. There is no higher-SG version of this tote, so where a denser fluid is involved the variable you change is the fitting and gasket material, not the tank. Compatibility always depends on concentration and temperature, so match your service to the OEM chemical-resistance chart, concentration- and temperature-specific, and pair the body with the correct fitting and gasket materials below.
| Chemical | Concentration | Fitting | Gasket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acetic acid | 60% | PP/PVC | EPDM |
| Aluminum sulfate | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Calcium chloride | 40% | PVC | EPDM |
| DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) | 32.5% | 316SS | EPDM |
| Ethylene glycol | 100% | PVC | EPDM |
| Ferric chloride | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Ferric sulfate | 60% | PVC | EPDM |
| Ferrous sulfate | 20% | PVC | EPDM |
| Hydrochloric acid | 37% | PVC | Viton |
| Hydrofluoric acid | 48% | PP/PVC | Viton |
| Hydrofluosilicic acid | 26% | PP/PVC | Viton |
| Hydrogen peroxide | 50% | PVC | Viton |
| Magnesium chloride | 30% | PVC | EPDM |
| Peracetic acid | 30% | 316SS | Aflas |
| Phosphoric acid | 85% | PVC | Viton |
| Polyaluminum chloride | - | PVC | EPDM |
| Potassium carbonate | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Potassium hydroxide | Saturated | PVC | EPDM |
| Propylene glycol | - | PP/316SS | EPDM |
| Sodium bisulfate | - | PVC/PP | EPDM |
| Sodium bisulfite | - | PVC/PP | EPDM |
| Sodium carbonate | 30% | PVC | EPDM |
| Sodium hypochlorite | <16.5% | PVC | Viton |
| Sodium thiosulfate | 40% | PVC | EPDM |
| Sulfuric acid | 98% | CPVC | Viton |
| Urea solution | 50% | PP/PVC | EPDM |
| Zinc orthophosphate | - | PP/316SS | EPDM |
| Ozonated water | up to 10 PPM | PVC | EPDM |

The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tote like this is matching the tank's resin to the chemical but ignoring the fitting and gasket materials. The HDLPE body handles every chemistry in the table, but the wrong gasket fails first - run Viton, not EPDM, on oxidizers like sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen peroxide, and step up to 316SS or Aflas where the chart calls for it on DEF, peracetic acid, propylene glycol, and zinc orthophosphate. The second mistake is treating the 1.9 SG rating as headroom for any liquid; it raises the weight ceiling, but you still must verify your handling equipment against the 4,358 lb maximum rated contents weight.
