About this file
This is a technical specification document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for polyethylene caged bottle paint totes, which are composite intermediate bulk containers designed to store and transport bulk liquids. The specification establishes requirements for 275-gallon capacity totes constructed from blow-molded high molecular weight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) enclosed within a galvanized square tubular steel cage and pallet. The totes must be reusable, UN/DOT certified for shipping bulk liquids with a maximum specific gravity of 1.9, and capable of four-way forklift and pallet jack handling with a minimum stacking capacity of two units when fully filled with paint. Footprint dimensions must not exceed 48 inches in either width or depth. The specification includes detailed requirements for materials, design, workmanship standards, and tank fittings to ensure serviceability and compatibility with waterborne paint applications.
The totes must incorporate an HDPE resin compounded with UV stabilizer and utilize zinc-galvanized tubular steel for the frame and pallet. Workmanship standards require finished tank walls to be free of visual defects such as foreign inclusions, crazing, cracking, and delaminations, though fine bubbles are acceptable if they do not interfere with resin fusion. Each tote must be equipped with a 2-inch BANJO full port polypropylene bolted ball valve with male quick disconnect fitting at the bottom drain, along with a 6-inch screw cap top fill lid featuring a 2-inch bung for vacuum venting. All fittings must be leak-free and compatible with waterborne paint. This specification document supports the related solicitation for waterborne high-build traffic line paint procurement, requiring suppliers to meet PennDOT Bulletin 15 approvals and provide lead-free, waterborne paint formulations meeting specified requirements.

Specification For Polyethylene Caged Bottle Paint Totes
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers caged bottle paint totes {a.k.a. composite intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)} made of blow-molded high molecular high density polyethylene (HOPE) enclosed by a galvanized square tubular steel cage. Included are requirements for materials, construction, tolerances and workmanship. Tote capacity is 275 gallons (1,040 L).
2. Materials
2.1 The material used shall be HOPE resin as compounded and certified by the manufacturer.
2.2 The HOPE resin shall contain a U.V. stabilizer as compounded by the resin manufacturer.
2.3 The frame and pallet shall be zinc galvanized tubular steel.
3. Design Requirements
3.1 Totes shall be reusable HOPE intermediate bulk containers capable of handling bulk liquids of 1.9 specific gravity. Foot print dimensions shall not exceed 48 inches for either width or depth.
3.2 Totes shall be UN/ O.O.T certified for shipping and handling of bulk liquids with a maximum of 1.9 specific gravity as required by Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Part 178.
3.3 Totes shall have a base that allows four-way forklift and pallet jack handling. The totes shall be capable of being stacked a minimum of two high when completely filled with paint.
4. Workmanship
4.1 The finished tank wall shall be free, as commercially practicable, of visual defects such as foreign inclusions, dried paint, air bubbles, pinholes, pimples, crazing, cracking and delaminations that will impair the serviceability of the vessel. Fine bubbles are acceptable with tanks to the degree in which they do not interfere with proper fusion of the resin melt.
5. Tank Fittings/ Attachments
5.1 Bottom Drain Valve.
5.1.1 2" (51 mm) BANJO full port polypropylene bolted ball valve with a 2" (51 mm) male quick disconnect fitting. Includes dust cap and cap lanyard. The valve and disconnect shall be leak free and compatible with waterborne paint.
5.2 Top Fill Lid
5.2.1 The top lid shall be a 6" screw cap style lid, and shall be easily opened by hand. The screw cap shall have a 2" bung incorporated into it to provide a vacuum vent.
