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

HDPE drums for semiconductor & electronic wet chemicals.

In wet-process chemistry, the package is part of the process. A drum that sheds particles or leaches metals doesn't just miss a spec — it contaminates baths, threatens yield, and puts a qualified supply line at risk. COEXCELL's ultra-pure tri-layer models are engineered, tested, and documented against exactly that risk.

What This Industry Requires

Three requirements. Each one engineered for.

Requirement 01

Contamination control

The drum must not become a contamination source between fill and dispense — at the wall, at the closure, or in handling.

HowTri-layer coextrusion isolates colorants and UV stabilizers in the exterior structure; drums are finished in a Class 1000 clean-room environment by gowned technicians and automated equipment.

Requirement 02

Low metal extractables

Product-contact surfaces must hold metal extractables to the level your chemistry qualifies against.

HowThe chemical only touches a virgin ultra-clean HDPE inner liner, available in three high-purity resin grades matched to your specification.

Requirement 03

Particle control

Cleanliness has to be measured and documented — not asserted — before the drum reaches your fill line.

HowCleanliness is verified in our in-house Class 100 liquid particle-count laboratory testing, with results documented per configuration.

The Models

Three ultra-pure models. One decision that matters.

All three share tri-layer construction, the virgin inner liner, Class 100 LPC verification, and a unique traceability label per drum. Choose on packing group, extractables target, and pressure.

The Evidence This Buyer Audits

Documentation your qualification team can file.

Semiconductor qualification runs on evidence. These are the controls behind every ultra-pure drum we ship — each one producing paperwork, not adjectives.

Layer Verification
Layer Verification

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

Qualification

A qualification process built around your requirements.

Share as much or as little as your disclosure rules allow — qualification runs on requirements: the specification you qualify against, the packing group, and the service conditions.

01

Share your requirements

The packing group, the purity specification you qualify against, and performance needs such as pressure or specific gravity.

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.

03

Qualify with documentation

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

Certifications are stated per model and configuration and are never generalized. An approval for one configuration is not extended to another — the same discipline your auditors apply.

Semiconductor 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 chemicals are COEXCELL ultra-pure drums used with?

Representative examples include CMP slurries, HF, HNO₃, HCl, HClO₄, IPA, NMP, NH₄OH, TMAH, and EBR solvents. Compatibility and the right model, resin grade, and closure configuration are confirmed per chemistry with our technical sales team.

Which COEXCELL drums are used for semiconductor and electronic wet chemicals?

Three tri-layer ultra-pure models: the IC55UP workhorse with a 300 kPa option, the K55UP for operations targeting the lowest metal extractables, and the two-piece C55UP for Packing Group I chemistries requiring an X-rated marking. All are 55-gallon drums with virgin ultra-clean inner liners, verified in Class 100 liquid particle-count laboratory.

How do you control metal extractables?

Tri-layer coextrusion isolates colorants and UV stabilizers in the exterior structure, so the chemical only contacts a virgin ultra-clean HDPE inner liner. Inner-layer resins for the IC and K55UP product lines are available in three high-purity grades, allowing the drum to be matched to your extractables specification.

Can your drums ship higher-pressure chemistries?

A 300 kPa version of the IC55UP, embossed 1H1/Y1.9/300, is available for higher-pressure service, supporting global transport. For Packing Group I chemistries, the C55UP carries the X-rated UN marking that PG I service requires. Confirm the right configuration for your material with our technical sales team — selecting the correct package for a given chemistry remains the filler's responsibility.

Do we have to disclose our chemistry to get a quote?

No. Many semiconductor customers can't disclose process chemistry, and our quoting is built around requirements instead: the packing group, the purity specification you qualify against, and performance needs such as pressure or specific gravity. From those, we recommend a model and configuration with the certification documents to support qualification.
