Sodium Hypochlorite is a very common storage application. It is harmed by UV rays and by heat. The use of a light or white colored tank with opaque walls is recommended. PVC Fittings are good while PVDF fittings are more expensive but excellent. Viton gaskets are excellent.
PVDF (Kynar®) is the most economical tank material for Sodium Hypochlorite (100%), rated Excellent. HDPE and polypropylene are also rated Good or better. Avoid nylon tanks, Buna-N gaskets and 316 stainless steel hardware. Rated Fair (contact us before use): CPVC fittings and titanium hardware.
