The Snyder Industries 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a 330-gallon polyethylene IBC tote built for bulk industrial fluid handling and high-specific-gravity chemical service. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what separates a real chemical tote from a water-only container. The tank stands 70 inches tall on a 46 by 46 inch footprint, so it drops into a single standard pallet position and stacks for vertical storage where floor space is tight.
Will it work for your application?
This is an HDPE tote rated to 1.9 specific gravity, meaning it is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water at full volume. A full charge of 330 gallons of plain water weighs about 2,752 pounds; the tank is rated to carry up to 5,229 pounds of contents, which is the number that matters when you fill with a dense acid or brine rather than water. That 5,229 pound rating against the 2,752 pound full-water weight works out to a usable fluid density right at 1.9 SG, so this is already the highest-density rating offered on this tote line. There is no heavier-rated step-up to buy; it covers concentrated chemistries like 98% sulfuric acid, 85% phosphoric acid, and dense ferric chloride brine without a density derate. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm your fluid weight against the 5,229 pound contents rating before you order. The 46 by 46 inch footprint and stackable design make this a practical pick when you are searching for an IBC tote, tote tank, or HDPE bulk container that has to store and transport efficiently in a tight bay.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is built in polyethylene at a 1.9 specific gravity rating. The pack identifies the resin as HDLPE but flags it as unconfirmed for this SKU, so confirm HDLPE versus XLPE with us before committing the tank to chemical service. Just as important: this tote ships without a fixed fitting package, so you configure the fittings and gaskets to your fluid rather than reusing whatever came on a prior tank. Compatibility is concentration and temperature specific, so match the fitting and gasket material to the chemical and check the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact fluid. Based on that chart, this tank suits a broad range of chemistries at the listed concentrations, including:
- Acetic Acid (60%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrochloric Acid (37%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Peracetic Acid (30%) - 316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets
- Phosphoric Acid (85%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfate - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfite - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Hypochlorite (under 16.5%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sulfuric Acid (98%) - CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Zinc Orthophosphate - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets (no dedicated compatibility page yet)
Notice how the fitting and gasket materials shift by chemical: aggressive oxidizers and strong acids like sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric, and sulfuric acid call for Viton or CPVC, while DEF and peracetic acid need 316 stainless, and most salts and glycols run fine on PVC with EPDM. The entries shown without a concentration (Polyaluminum Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Bisulfite, Zinc Orthophosphate) are confirmed compatible on the OEM chart, but verify the concentration band for your specific fluid before service. The single most common mistake on a tote like this is reusing the wrong gasket from a prior chemistry, so match the gasket to your fluid every time. For the full picture, see our Chemical Compatibility Database. If you are weighing this tote against a drum or a bulk tank, our container vs tank guide and drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis walk through the volume and turnover math. For hazardous service, review RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment and the Snyder Captor 110% containment versus UL-142 comparison. The technical drawing on this page shows the tank's geometry and outlet locations.
