Reinforced containers for chemicals

Chemical tanks are mainly used in the industrial and medical sectors. Tanks are essential for storing and transporting aggressive chemicals. Reinforced plastic tanks provide enhanced safety conditions. The main requirement for the material is chemical inertness and no interaction with the stored substances.
The scope of application includes medical institutions, chemical and pharmaceutical companies, agricultural industries, research laboratories, and production facilities where chemicals are required to maintain technological processes. Other areas of application include the metalworking, paint and varnish, and petrochemical industries.
To increase the strength of the structure, methods are used to increase the wall thickness, create stiffeners, and arrange a metal or plastic lathing.

Plastic tank for chemicals: purpose

Plastic tanks for chemicals are designed to store salt, alcohol, acid and alkaline solutions. Chemicals are divided into neutral, safe, hazardous and extremely hazardous. Safe chemicals include fertilisers, disinfectants and detergents, household chemicals, and water-soluble paints. Technical fluids, bleaching agents, solvents and adhesives, insecticides and oils are stored in plastic containers.

Plastic containers for chemicals: advantages

Plastic containers for chemicals are lightweight. A 2000-litre tank weighs about 47 kg. This light weight makes loading, unloading, transport and installation easier. Other advantages of plastic tanks:

• Durability. The service life exceeds 60 years.
• Increased strength, resistance to mechanical stress – vibrations, shocks.
• Maintainability. Plastic tanks can be repaired to restore tightness.
• Wide operating temperature range from -30 to +50°C.
• Versatility. Plastic tanks can be used for storing any liquids – industrial and drinking water, fuel and lubricants, fertilisers, agricultural products.

The walls of the plastic tank do not absorb odours, which allows it to be used repeatedly for storing various substances. Compared to their metal counterparts, plastic chemical tanks are not prone to corrosion and rotting, and do not require regular priming and painting. As a result, maintenance costs are reduced.
Compared to glass containers, plastic tanks are more durable and resistant to damage. A container made of impact-resistant plastic will not break during transport. Plastic products are much cheaper than their metal and glass counterparts and protect the contents from solar radiation. Tanks made of plastic heat up slowly, which ensures increased safety when transporting and storing explosive chemicals.

Chemical tanks: types

Tanks made of plastic differ in capacity and shape. Plastic chemical tanks are equipped with fittings, fittings, adapters, level gauges, sensors, cranes, and automated feeding systems. The price of the model depends on the equipment. The volume varies from 100 to 5000 litres. Tanks are equipped with an elongated spout, an offset neck, and handles for easy carrying.
Vertical cylindrical tanks allow you to store a larger volume of liquid in a smaller area. The wide neck allows for easy cleaning and sanitisation. The product is equipped with a screw-on lid that maintains the tightness of the tank. Some models have a breathing valve to remove gases generated by the evaporation of chemical liquids.
