BarrelSales.com offers fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) barrels for demanding chemical storage applications. Fiberglass is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and durable — outperforming steel in acidic and harsh environments. Our fiberglass barrels are ideal for industrial chemicals, acids, solvents, wastewater treatment, and marine applications. Sizes: 55 gallons ($300) and 110 gallons ($520).
Fiberglass vs. Steel: Fiberglass will not rust or corrode, is 50-60% lighter (easier handling), and requires no painting or coating. Steel drums corrode when storing acids or when used outdoors. Fiberglass vs. Plastic: Fiberglass has higher temperature resistance (-40°F to 250°F vs. plastic's 120°F max), better UV resistance, and higher structural strength. Plastic can crack under heavy loads or extreme temperatures.
Our fiberglass barrels are resistant to:
Not compatible with: Hydrofluoric acid (HF), concentrated strong bases above pH 12, molten metals, or high-pressure gases. Call +1 346 636 0501 for specific chemical compatibility verification.
The 55-gallon fiberglass barrel is our most popular size for chemical storage. Dimensions: 23" diameter × 35" height. Features open-top with bolt ring closure (removable lid) or closed-top with 2 bung holes (2" and 3/4"). Gaskets are PTFE or EPDM for chemical resistance. Compatible with standard drum handling equipment (dollies, pumps, drum heaters).
The 110-gallon fiberglass barrel provides double the capacity for bulk chemical storage. Dimensions: 28" diameter × 42" height. Ideal for large-volume chemical mixing, wastewater treatment, and agricultural chemical storage. Open-top design with removable lid for easy filling and cleaning.

55 and 110 gallon fiberglass barrels ship via LTL freight in 5-10 days within the USA. Curbside delivery included. The $200 minimum order is met with a single 55-gallon barrel ($300) or 110-gallon barrel ($520). We ship to Canada, UK, Australia, and worldwide — call for international freight quotes. Volume discounts available for 5+ barrels.
Clean fiberglass barrels with mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool (scratches compromise the gel coat). Inspect annually for cracks or delamination. Store with lid sealed to prevent contamination. For outdoor storage, periodic washing prevents dirt buildup, but UV-stabilized resin prevents degradation for 10+ years.
BarrelSales.com sells 2 fiberglass barrel sizes: 55 gallons ($300) and 110 gallons ($520). Both are corrosion-resistant, lightweight FRP construction ideal for chemical storage.
Fiberglass barrels are resistant to most acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive chemicals including hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, caustic soda, bleach, and many industrial solvents. Not recommended for hydrofluoric acid or strong bases above pH 12. Call +1 346 636 0501 for chemical compatibility verification.
Yes. Fiberglass barrels are approximately 50-60% lighter than comparable steel drums. A 55-gallon fiberglass barrel weighs ~25 lbs vs ~55 lbs for steel. This makes handling, transport, and installation significantly easier.
Yes. Our fiberglass barrels are UV-stabilized and weather-resistant, making them suitable for permanent outdoor installation. They will not rust or corrode like steel drums. However, prolonged direct sunlight may cause gradual cosmetic fading over years.
The minimum order at BarrelSales.com is $200 product subtotal. Both 55-gallon and 110-gallon fiberglass barrels exceed this individually, so no additional items are needed.
