Plastic Tanks for the Chemical Industry |
| Plastic tanks for chemical storage have become a huge portion of the chemical industry. The relatively low cost and reliability of various plastic tanks compare most favorably when compared to the cost and difficulties involved with fiberglass or metal tanks. |
| The chemical compatibility of plastics to most chemicals is a major attraction to the use of plastic tanks. It is important to be aware that not every plastic is right for storing every chemical. A particular chemical may 'eat' one kind of plastic and be stored perfectly in another kind of plastic. A good example is that sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) will attack polyethylene and shorten the life of the tank while it is a good match with polypropylene. |
| Plastic tanks for chemicals come in sizes from very small 'day' tanks to large tanks of about 20,000 gallons. Different shapes are available including vertical, horizontal and rectangular tanks. Vertical tanks nearly always offer the best price per gallon stored. |

chemical compatibility information regarding the best type
of plastic for your application. Many tank distributors
only offer polyethylene tanks and tend to push them for every
application. We offer several types of plastics and urge
you to get the best tank for your storage application. |
