Written by enduramaxx.marketing | May 10, 2021 11:00:00 PM

Polyethylene and Polypropylene tanks are widely used for chemical storage due to being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective.

Based in Lincolnshire, Enduramaxx manufacturers a range of plastic chemical storage tanks for admix storage, acids storage, de-icer storage, liquid fertiliser storage, as well as various chemical solutions.  

Serving a variety of purposes, these tanks need to be strong and non-reactive with the chemicals they contain.  Therefore, when selecting a storage tank for a specific chemical, it's essential to consider various factors such as the specific gravity of the chemical, the chemical composition, storage temperature, pressure, potential interactions between the chemical and the tank material as well as the type of fixtures and fittings required.

It is worth noting that some chemicals are not compatible with polyethylene nor polypropylene.  Fortunately, the knowledgeable team at Enduramaxx are happy to consult with you to ensure the specification of the storage solution is right for you.

Enduramaxx strongly recommend that you always prioritize safety and adhere to HSE advice  when selecting storage solutions for chemicals.
