I am translating a document from Brazilian Portuguese to English giving guidlines for packing hazardous materials for shipping. This particular segment has to do with hazardous liquids.
The following phrase appears:
Acondicionar em caixa de papelão (exceto tortas) ou bombona plástica (tambor ? cód). What sort of drum is this? Thanks in advance,
Doug

bombonnes
It is a French-origin word that means "large globular bottle". Imagine a megalomaniac carboy that contains 5-25 gallons). (Pls. refer to Webster, English-English)
A "bombona" usually holds 50 to 100 liters. The Italian and Portuguese communities living in the Greater São Paulo area use these containers extensively to store their home production of wine (very good wines, indeed).
