Salt Brine (NaCl Saturated) is a solution of sodium chloride (CAS 7647-14-5) in water at about 26%, with a specific gravity of about 1.2 and a freezing point near -6°F (-21°C). Brine is used for road anti-icing and pre-wetting, water softener regeneration, food pickling and brining, hide curing and oilfield fluids. Salt brine corrodes steel, which is why highway departments and softener systems commonly use poly brine tanks. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
HDPE is the most economical tank material for SALT BRINE (NaCl SATURATED), rated Excellent. Polypropylene, nylon and PVDF (Kynar®) are also rated Good or better.
