chemicals. Polyethylene (PE), a light, chemically- resistant
thermoplastic, is the most commonly used plastic resin. Polyethylene
resins include linear high density (HDLPE), cross-linked high
density (XLPE) and linear low density (LLDPE) resins. Polypropylene
(PP) is a light, durable thermoplastic that is denser, stiffer and
stronger than polyethylene and has a high melting point. Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) is a durable, transparent thermoplastic that is
resistant to non-essential oils but cannot be exposed to some
solvents. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a durable thermoplastic
that has high resistance to chemicals and abrasion.
What are the benifits of a plastic tank compared to steel tanks?
Plastic tanks have several advantages over the traditional steel
tanks. Their seamless construction provides them with greater impact
strength and superior resistance to rust, corrosion and fuel
additives.
These virtually indestructible tanks have a longer lifespan than
steel tanks, which can corrode through and leak. Plastic tanks can
easily be molded to fit tank compartments, unlike metal tanks, and
