HDPE Plastic Drums — Vietnam-Made | 120L, 125L & 220L
Zonepack Vietnam supplies HDPE plastic drums (polyethylene drums / PE drums) manufactured domestically in Vietnam. Made from virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE), our plastic drums are corrosion-resistant, rust-free, and significantly lighter than steel drums — making them the preferred choice for chemicals, food products, water, and agricultural liquids where rust contamination is unacceptable.
Available Sizes & Types
| Size | Type | UN Code | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 litres | Closed-head (tight-head) | UN1H1 | Liquids: chemicals, food, water |
| 125 litres | Closed-head (tight-head) | UN1H1 | Liquids: chemicals, food, water |
| 220 litres | Closed-head (tight-head) | UN1H1 | Liquids: chemicals, lubricants, food |
| 220 litres | Open-head (removable lid) | UN1H2 | Solids, powders, semi-solids |
Key Advantages Over Steel Drums
- No corrosion or rust — HDPE is chemically inert to most acids, alkalis, and solvents; no rust contamination risk
- Lighter weight — 7–12 kg vs 20–25 kg for steel drums; reduces labor costs and transport weight
- Food-grade available — virgin HDPE grade suitable for food contact applications
- Reusable — multiple cycles when properly cleaned and inspected
- Vietnam-made — fast availability from Binh Duong warehouse; shorter lead time than imported
- Stackable — up to 3 drums high (empty) for efficient warehouse storage

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a plastic drum and a steel drum?
Plastic (HDPE) drums are lighter, corrosion-resistant, and rust-free — ideal for water, food, and acidic/alkaline chemicals. Steel drums are heavier and stronger — better for high-pressure applications and UN-certified hazardous goods transport. Plastic drums are typically 30–40% lighter than equivalent steel drums.
Are your plastic drums food-grade?
Yes — we offer food-grade HDPE drums made from FDA-compliant virgin HDPE. Please specify food-grade requirement when requesting a quote so we supply the correct material grade.
