What to consider

Getting the Right Tank the First Time

Send the chemical, concentration, temperature and size. We’ll match the resin, specific gravity rating and fittings.

  • Heat is where polypropylene wins: rated for continuous use up to 200°F, compared with 120°F for HDPE, so it suits heated detergent and hot-rinse solutions.
  • Caustic and acid in one shop: high-pH presoak concentrates and phosphoric or citric acid cleaners are both rated Excellent for polypropylene.
  • Check the gasket, too: each chemical page shows which gasket (EPDM, Viton or Buna-N) to use with your cleaner.
  • Room-temperature water only? For plain water or rinse storage, an HDPE tank from plasticstoragetanks.com usually costs less.
