Description
Wide neck barrel is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) container with a 68 l capacity intended for laboratory and light industrial storage and transport of bulk liquids and solids. Its wide-neck geometry simplifies filling, emptying, sampling, and cleaning relative to conventional narrow-mouth drums, supporting efficient handling in media kitchens, wash-up areas, and process support zones. The single-unit pack provides one complete barrel fabricated from durable HDPE, a material chosen for mechanical strength and broad chemical resistance toward many aqueous reagents and selected solvents. Marked UN 1H2/X81/S/./NL/CURTEC 1236, the design is recognised for the transport of certain solid dangerous goods when filled and closed according to the relevant packaging instructions and modal regulations. This wide neck barrel from manufacturer CurTec is a practical choice for buffer and solution preparation, temporary holding of intermediates, segregated waste collection, and general bulk containment around the laboratory. The 68 l working volume suits pilot activities and central service functions that outgrow smaller carboys yet do not require full-size industrial drums. Always confirm compatibility of the contents with HDPE and fit approved lids or accessories before use or shipment.

Questions about Wide neck barrel, HDPE, 68 l, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Wide neck barrel, HDPE, 68 l, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes CurTec for laboratory use. It sits in Canisters & jerrycans, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
A canister or jerrycan holds litres, not millilitres, and it is shaped to be carried and to pour. The material has to survive the liquid for the whole time the can sits in the store.
A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
