Home Stainless Steel Barrels / Drums Plastic Ibc Tank 1000L Black

The 1000L black plastic IBC serves a specific purpose: protecting light-sensitive liquids from UV degradation. While standard blue or white IBCs allow some light transmission, the black version blocks virtually all ultraviolet and visible light—making it the preferred choice for products that degrade, discolor, or lose potency when exposed to light.


Like its blue counterpart, this IBC holds 1000 liters (264 gallons) and fits standard 1200×1000mm pallet racks, forklifts, and shipping containers. The construction uses virgin high-density polyethylene with carbon black pigment, which provides complete opacity and extended UV resistance beyond standard formulations.


The galvanized steel cage and four-way pallet base remain unchanged, ensuring compatibility with existing handling equipment and stacking systems. When filled, these units stack two high; when empty, they nest for return shipping.

Technical Specifications

Detailed Specifications

Construction and Material

The inner tank is rotationally molded from 100% virgin HDPE with carbon black pigment added during the manufacturing process. Unlike surface coatings or liners that can scratch or wear off, the black color is integral to the material—it will not fade, peel, or develop thin spots over time. This ensures consistent light-blocking performance throughout the container's service life.

The carbon black concentration meets industry standards for complete UV blockage, making these IBCs suitable for long-term outdoor storage of light-sensitive products. The material also meets FDA requirements for food contact applications when specified.

Light-Sensitive Applications
Black IBCs are commonly used for:
Edible oils: Olive oil, fish oil, and other unsaturated oils that oxidize and turn rancid when exposed to light
Flavors and fragrances: Many natural and synthetic flavor compounds degrade under UV exposure
Pharmaceutical intermediates: Certain APIs and intermediates require protection from light during storage and transport
Specialty chemicals: UV-sensitive monomers, photoinitiators, and other light-reactive compounds
Wine and spirits: Some producers use black IBCs for bulk transport of products sensitive to light strike

Valve Options
The standard bottom outlet is a 50mm polypropylene ball valve with EPDM seals. For applications requiring full light blockage throughout the dispensing system, optional configurations include:
Stainless steel valves with PTFE seals for chemical compatibility
Camlock fittings for light-proof hose connections
Butterfly valves for applications requiring complete disassembly for cleaning
Threaded outlets to match existing equipment


Stacking and Transport
The steel cage structure supports stacking up to two units high when fully loaded. The interlocking corner post design prevents shifting during transport—critical for maintaining stability when handling valuable, light-sensitive products.
Empty units can be nested for return shipping, reducing freight costs by approximately 70% compared to shipping assembled units.
Certification and Compliance
UN/DOT Certification: Available for transport of hazardous liquids. The black pigmentation does not affect certification; all testing is conducted on finished assemblies.
FDA Food-Grade Compliance: Standard for edible oil and food ingredient applications. Material meets FDA requirements for direct food contact.

Applications
