The Snyder Industries 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a Lincoln, Nebraska-built bulk container engineered to a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what separates it from the white-label IBC tote you find at a farm-supply counter. That 1.9 rating means the polyethylene wall is built to safely hold liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, so this is a tote for dense process chemicals, not just water transfer. It stands 61 inches tall on a 45 x 46 inch footprint and stacks, so you can square it into a process bay or a containment pallet without giving up floor space. It is also rated for DEF at 32.5% and urea solution at 50% on 316 stainless fittings, so SCR fluid and fertilizer-grade urea are squarely in scope for this tote.
Will it work for my application?
At 330 gallons, filled with water this tote carries roughly 2,752 pounds; loaded to its full 1.9 SG rating it is engineered for contents up to about 5,229 pounds. Plan your rack, forklift, and secondary containment around the loaded figure, not the dry weight. The 45 x 46 inch footprint matches standard pallet handling, and the stackable design lets you go vertical when you need more bulk storage per square foot. Note that 1.9 is the maximum specific gravity rating offered on this tote, so you are buying at the ceiling, not leaving capability on the table. If you are sizing a system or comparing tank-versus-tote economics, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. For the broader buy decision, our breakdown of 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 that decides which packaging tier costs you the least over its life.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is polyethylene rated to 1.9 specific gravity. The exact resin grade is still being verified, so confirm HDLPE versus XLPE with us before committing it to chemical service, and build your fitting and gasket package to the chemical, not the tank. The matrix below is drawn from the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific - verify your exact chemical, concentration, and temperature before ordering.
| Chemical | Conc. | Fitting | Gasket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acetic Acid | 60% | PP/PVC | EPDM |
| DEF | 32.5% | 316SS | EPDM |
| Urea Solution | 50% | PP/PVC | EPDM |
| Hydrochloric Acid | 37% | PVC | Viton |
| Sulfuric Acid | 98% | CPVC | Viton |
| Hydrofluoric Acid | 48% | PP/PVC | Viton |
| Hydrogen Peroxide | 50% | PVC | Viton |
| Phosphoric Acid | 85% | PVC | Viton |
| Sodium Hypochlorite | <16.5% | PVC | Viton |
| Peracetic Acid | 30% | 316SS | Aflas |
| Ferric Chloride | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Aluminum Sulfate | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Calcium Chloride | 40% | PVC | EPDM |
| Ethylene Glycol | 100% | PVC | EPDM |
| Potassium Hydroxide | Saturated | PVC | EPDM |
| Ozonated Water | up to 10 PPM | PVC | EPDM |
It also handles ferric sulfate (60%), ferrous sulfate (20%), hydrofluosilicic acid (26%), magnesium chloride (30%), polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate (50%), propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium carbonate (30%), and zinc orthophosphate. Ozone service is concentration-capped at 10 PPM - a hard limit worth noting before you scope an ozonated-water loop. Cross-check every service against the Chemical Compatibility Database first.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a high-SG tote is matching the fittings and gaskets to the tank instead of to the fluid. Notice how the gasket flips between EPDM, Viton, and Aflas depending on the chemical - sodium hypochlorite and sulfuric acid need Viton, peracetic acid needs Aflas, and most salts run EPDM. Get the elastomer wrong and you open a leak path long before the polyethylene ever fails. If you are storing a hazardous-class fluid, pair this tote with proper secondary containment; our guides on RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment and the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs. UL-142 options cover leak detection and inspection cadence.
