The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a non-caged bulk container engineered for dense, aggressive chemistry. It carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, meaning the polyethylene wall is built to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. That rating is the headline reason buyers choose this tote over a standard caged IBC. The footprint is a square 45 x 45 inches and the tank stands 56 inches tall, so it occupies a single warehouse pallet position and stacks for vertical storage in a fixed plant. Capacity is a true 275 gallons of white HDPE, and at a 1.9 SG rating it is already built for the densest chemistries on the compatibility list below, so there is no heavier-wall step-up needed for these services.
Will it work for your application?
Run the loaded-weight math before you commit floor space, because the maximum fill is the buying decision on a 1.9 SG tote. Filled with water, this tank carries 2,294 lb. Loaded to its maximum rated contents at the 1.9 SG limit, it reaches 4,358 lb. Rate your forklift, pallet jack, rack, and containment pan against the 4,358 lb loaded figure, not the 2,294 lb water weight. At a square 45 x 45 inch footprint that load lands on a compact area, so verify point-loading on mezzanines and secondary containment pans. If you are deciding between this and a smaller drum or a larger bulk tank, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match turnover volume to vessel size, and our Container vs Tank and Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank break-even guides walk the volume math. For dimensions and fitting locations, see the technical drawing on this page.
Chemical compatibility
This Snyder IBC tote is molded from polyethylene rated to 1.9 SG, which is what lets it hold dense acids and salts that would overstress a 1.0-rated container. Before any oxidizer service, confirm the exact polyethylene grade with us (HDLPE versus XLPE) - linear and cross-linked polyethylene differ in resistance to strong oxidizers such as hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, and sodium hypochlorite, all of which appear below. Compatibility is always concentration- and temperature-specific, so check each chemical against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact strength and operating temperature. Spec the fitting body and gasket to the chemical, not just the tank wall:
- Acetic acid (60%) - PP/PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Aluminum sulfate (50%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Calcium chloride (40%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fitting, EPDM gasket
- Ethylene glycol (100%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Ferric chloride (50%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Ferric sulfate (60%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Ferrous sulfate (20%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Hydrochloric acid (37%) - PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Hydrofluoric acid (48%) - PP/PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Hydrofluosilicic acid (26%) - PP/PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Hydrogen peroxide (50%) - PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Magnesium chloride (30%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Peracetic acid (30%) - 316SS fitting, Aflas gasket
- Phosphoric acid (85%) - PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Polyaluminum chloride - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Potassium carbonate (50%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Potassium hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Propylene glycol - PP/316SS fitting, EPDM gasket
- Sodium bisulfate - PVC/PP fitting, EPDM gasket
- Sodium bisulfite - PVC/PP fitting, EPDM gasket
- Sodium carbonate (30%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Sodium hypochlorite (<16.5%) - PVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Sodium thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Sulfuric acid (98%) - CPVC fitting, Viton gasket
- Urea solution (50%) - PP/PVC fitting, EPDM gasket
- Zinc orthophosphate - PP/316SS fitting, EPDM gasket
- Ozonated water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fitting, EPDM gasket; contact us at 866-418-1777 for compatibility detail
The mistake to avoid
The gasket and fitting material matter as much as the tank wall, and the right elastomer changes with the chemical. Most salts and bases on the list above seal with EPDM, but the strong oxidizers and aggressive acids - hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, hydrofluosilicic, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric, sulfuric, and sodium hypochlorite - require Viton, and peracetic acid calls for Aflas. Fitting bodies range from PVC and CPVC to PP and 316SS depending on service. Spec the gasket and fitting to the chemical, then verify each against our Chemical Compatibility Database at your concentration and temperature. If your duty involves secondary containment, the Snyder Captor 110% containment vs UL-142/SPCC comparison and the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide cover the regulatory side.
