Ultra-pure & high-purity HDPE drum packaging — engineered and manufactured in Maumee, Ohio 419-897-9110
Industries

HDPE drums for pharmaceutical & life science ingredients.

APIs, excipients, and life-science materials move through audits as much as they move through plants. The packaging has to hold up in both places — documented cleanliness on the drum, and a paper trail your quality system can file. COEXCELL's high-purity models are built for the second requirement as deliberately as the first.

What This Industry Requires

Three requirements. Each one engineered for.

Requirement 01

Traceability

Every drum in the supply chain has to answer for itself — which lot, which line, which shipment.

HowIC, K55UP, and C55UP drums each carry a unique traceability identification label, pairing every shipped drum with documented identity.

Requirement 02

Cleanliness

Documented cleanliness on the product-contact surface — verified, not asserted.

HowTri-layer construction isolates colorants and stabilizers away from the virgin inner liner; drums are finished in a Class 1000 clean-room environment and verified in Class 100 liquid particle-count laboratory testing..

Requirement 03

Documentation

Your auditors don't accept generalizations — and neither should your packaging supplier.

HowCertification documents, technical data sheets, and test summaries are provided per model and configuration, under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system.

The Models

High-purity models for ingredient service.

All three share tri-layer construction, the virgin ultra-clean inner liner, Class 100 LPC verification, and per-drum traceability. Choose on packing group, extractables target, and handling.

The Evidence This Buyer Audits

An audit trail, not an assurance.

Quality and regulatory teams file evidence. These are the controls behind every high-purity drum we ship — each one producing paperwork your system can cite.

Class 100 LPC
Class 100 LPC

Cleanliness verified in our in-house liquid particle-count laboratory.

Class 1000 Finishing
Class 1000 Finishing

Post-forming finishing in a clean-room environment with recorded air-quality readings.

Layer Verification
Layer Verification

Drum body weight confirms material content; gauge measurement confirms wall thickness and layer distribution.

Qualification

Qualify without disclosing your formulation.

Ingredient producers often can't name what's going in the drum — and our process doesn't ask them to.

01

Share your requirements

The cleanliness specification you qualify against, the packing group if regulated, and performance needs such as temperature or specific gravity. The formulation stays yours.

02

We recommend a configuration

Our team matches those requirements to a model, resin grade, and closure or dip-tube configuration — with its exact UN/DOT marking where transport is regulated.

03

Qualify with documentation

Certification documents, technical data sheets, and test summaries are provided per configuration, so your quality file has evidence to cite.

Certifications are stated per model and configuration and are never generalized — the same discipline your auditors apply.

Pharma & Life Science Questions

Asked before most first quotes.

Answers to the questions we hear most before a first quote. If yours isn’t here, the form is the fastest route to a specific answer.

Which COEXCELL drums are used for pharmaceutical and life science ingredients?

The high-purity tri-layer models: the IC55UP workhorse, the K55UP for the lowest metal extractables, and the two-piece C55UP where Packing Group I transport or color-coded inventory identification is required. All pair clean-room finishing with Class 100 liquid particle-count verification and a unique traceability label per drum.

What regulatory or compliance statements are available for pharmaceutical applications?

Compliance documentation is provided for the specific configuration you qualify — tell us the framework your quality system works against and we'll confirm what applies.

How does per-drum traceability work?

IC, K55UP, and C55UP drums each carry a unique traceability identification label, pairing every shipped drum with documented identity. Certification documents, technical data sheets, and test summaries are provided per configuration, so the audit trail your quality system expects has evidence to cite.

Do we have to disclose our ingredient or formulation to get a quote?

No. Quoting is built around requirements: the cleanliness specification you qualify against, the packing group if regulated for transport, and performance needs such as temperature or specific gravity. From those, we recommend a model and configuration with the documentation to support qualification.

Next Step

Bring us the spec. Keep the formulation.

Tell us your cleanliness, performance, and compliance requirements — you don't need to disclose your formulation to start. Our team will recommend a model and configuration, and provide the documentation to support qualification.
