Chem Resist is a leading manufacturer and supplier of thermoplastic storage tanks, which are manufactured in Corrosion Resistant Polypropylene and High Density Polyethylene (PE100-RC). Thermoplastic storage tanks are chosen by clients for their chemical resistance and durability and Chem Resist's tanks offer many more advantages:
The benefits of thermoplastic storage tanks
- Our thermoplastic storage tanks are designed to the European standard BS EN 12573: 2000 'Welded static non-pressurized thermoplastic tanks. Design and calculation of flanged joints';
- Our unique spiral winding process means we are not restricted to fixed diameters or heights; we can provide tanks built to clients' specifications;
- Integral Safety Bunds in thermoplastic offer a completely corrosion resistant alternative to constructing a lined concrete bund to contain a potential spillage. These can also be equipped with a rain-skirt for external siting.
- Our own highly experienced installation team is able to deliver and install the vessel if requested.
Independent verification
The PE100-RC High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) used to manufacture all Chem Resist Storage Tanks is highly resistant to stress cracking. Using a Full Notch Creep Test it has been shown that PE100-RC is:
- Over 29 times more resistant to stress cracking than PE100 (If PE100 showed cracking after 10 years, PE100-RC would take 290 years)
- Over 87 times more resistant than PE80
This means that highly oxidising chemicals can be stored in our thermoplastic tanks for 20 years design life without issues with stress cracking.
