The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a non-caged polyethylene bulk container molded by Snyder Industries for moving and storing process fluids, water, and a broad range of treatment chemicals. It carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, comes in white polyethylene, and ships factory-fitted with Viton gaskets on the Payloader valve system - the right elastomer family when your fluid is a strong acid or oxidizer rather than plain water. At 54 in tall on a 46 x 46 in footprint, it stacks and palletizes like a standard IBC tote while giving you a chemical-rated tank instead of a wire-caged commodity cube.
Will it work for your fluid?
Start with weight. Filled with water this tote runs about 2,294 lb, and the tank is rated to carry contents up to 4,358 lb. That higher number is the payoff of the 1.9 SG rating: dense fluids are within design intent, not an overload. Because the pack lists no higher-SG version of this tote, 1.9 is the ceiling here - and it is exactly what separates this tank from a commodity caged IBC built for roughly 1.0 to 1.5 SG water and light fluids. Before you commit, run your fill volume and fluid density through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the loaded weight matches what your floor, forklift, and rack can carry. The 46 x 46 in footprint and stackable geometry make this a strong fit when you are shopping for an IBC tote or tote tank but need real chemical service, not a food-grade water cube.
Chemical compatibility
This is a polyethylene tote with a 1.9 specific-gravity rating. Confirm whether your tank is HDLPE or XLPE before putting it into chemical service - the two resins differ in stress-crack and oxidizer behavior, and the answer changes which chemistries are safe long-term. Just as important: the factory Viton gaskets are not universal. Of the chemistries below, only Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Hydrofluosilicic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Sulfuric Acid actually spec Viton; most of the salts and glycols call for EPDM, and Peracetic Acid requires Aflas - not Viton at all. Match the gasket and fitting material to your fluid, do not assume the shipped gasket fits it. Based on our concentration-specific chemical-compatibility data, this tank handles fluids including 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). Every concentration is specific - 37% hydrochloric and 98% sulfuric behave differently than dilute - so verify your exact chemistry, temperature, and concentration against the OEM chemical-resistance chart and our Chemical Compatibility Database before you fill.
The mistake to avoid
The most expensive error on a chemical tote is assuming the gasket it arrives with fits your fluid. This tote ships with Viton, which is correct for the strong acids and oxidizers above but wrong for most of the salts and glycols, where EPDM is specified, and for Peracetic Acid, which needs Aflas. Lock down three things before filling: the resin (HDLPE vs XLPE), the gasket material, and the fitting material for your exact chemistry. To confirm a tote is even the right packaging tier, our Container vs Tank guide and the Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank break-even analysis walk the volume-and-turnover math, while the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment guide and the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide cover the catch-basin rules that apply to hazardous fluids.
