Tri-layer 55-gallon (208 L) HDPE drums produced on automated molding lines for industrial and chemical service — the fit-for-duty end of the COEXCELL lineup, built in the same Maumee, Ohio plant and under the same ISO 9001 quality management system as our ultra-pure models. General application drums available in all three Coexcell configurations (C55, IC55, and K55) with a variety of ratings to suit your specific needs.
Engineered tri-layer walls for industrial and chemical service — the construction approach COEXCELL built its reputation on.
Produced on the same automated blow-molding and robotic handling lines as the rest of the lineup, for consistency drum to drum.
Every product line is leak-checked in production before release, and in-process checks generate documented evidence for every production lot.
Recyclable HDPE construction at end of service.
General Application drums are specified to the duty: closures, colors, and certifications are confirmed per configuration with our team.
Where a configuration is UN/DOT certified, it ships under the exact marking embossed on the drum. Published configuration and rating details are pending.
Confirm your configuration with our teamProduced in our purpose-built Maumee plant under the ISO 9001 certified quality management system that governs the entire lineup — with leak checks in production before release.
ISO 9001 · leak-checked in productionAn approval for one configuration is never extended to another. Tell us your packing group and service conditions, and we’ll confirm the certified configuration that matches — or route you to the ultra-pure line where your duty requires it.

Industrial and chemical service where the duty doesn’t call for an ultra-pure specification. They’re tri-layer 55-gallon HDPE drums produced on automated molding lines in our Maumee, Ohio plant — the cost-effective end of a lineup that runs up through semiconductor-grade tri-layer models.
The ultra-pure models (IC55UP, K55UP, C55UP) add tri-layer construction with a virgin ultra-clean inner liner, Class 1000 clean-room finishing, and Class 100 liquid particle-count verification for chemistries that qualify against purity specifications. General Application drums use tri-layer HDPE construction for industrial service — produced in the same plant, under the same ISO 9001 quality management system.
Certifications are stated per configuration and never generalized. Contact our team with your packing group and service conditions, and we’ll confirm the certified configuration that matches — or route you to the ultra-pure line where your duty requires it.
Every COEXCELL product line is leak-checked in production before release, and in-process checks generate documented evidence for every production lot, under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system — all in the same purpose-built Maumee plant that produces the ultra-pure line.
