The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a 275-gallon polyethylene IBC tote built for bulk chemical handling, secondary process storage, and stackable warehouse logistics. It measures 56 inches tall on a 46 x 45 inch footprint, keeping it inside the standard pallet envelope so it routes through racking and forklift handling the same way buyers expect from any ibc tote. The white tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the high-density end of the tote spectrum and the reason this unit holds heavier chemistries than a typical water tote.
Will this tote work for your job?
Size it by weight, not just gallons. Filled with plain water (SG 1.0) this tote carries roughly 2,294 pounds; at its full 1.9 SG rating it can hold up to 4,358 pounds of contents. Confirm your forklift, rack, and floor are rated for the loaded figure before you fill it, and run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide if you are matching this tote to a batch volume or turnover schedule. The tank ships with a Snyder 2-inch vacuum vent (EPDM seal) that protects the body against vacuum collapse during drawdown. Fill and discharge fittings are configured per order, so call us to set the connection sizes and materials for your process. See the technical drawing on this page for the full fitting and dimension layout. If you intend to stack loaded totes, confirm the stack-load and stack-height rating with us before you build the array, since the binding limit is what the bottom tote carries, not just its own contents.
Chemical compatibility
This is a high-density polyethylene tote rated to 1.9 specific gravity. The exact resin designation is not fully confirmed for this record, so confirm HDLPE versus XLPE with us before placing this tote in chemical service, as that distinction matters for aggressive chemistries. Compatibility below is drawn from the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific; always match your exact concentration and operating temperature to the chart before committing.
Chemistries this tote is rated to handle, with the fitting and gasket materials each requires: Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), DEF (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 (under 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), and Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM). Watch the gasket exceptions: the aggressive acids and oxidizers - hydrochloric, phosphoric, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric (which also calls for CPVC fittings), and sodium hypochlorite - need Viton rather than EPDM; DEF and peracetic acid need 316 stainless fittings; and peracetic acid is the lone entry that calls for Aflas gaskets, not Viton, so do not default-substitute. The single most common and costly mistake on a chemical tote is pairing the right tank with the wrong gasket, so match every gasket and fitting to your specific chemical using the full Chemical Compatibility Database before you order.
Tote, drum, or bulk tank?
If you are still deciding between packaging tiers, our Container vs Tank guide and the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis work through the volume and turnover math. For hazardous service, the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment walkthrough and the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment comparison cover the containment side.
