1. What makes poly tanks a good choice for my chemical storage/application? Polyethylene tanks have a lower incremental cost than fiberglass or stainless steel. Poly tanks are one piece seamless constructs. Easy cleaning and leak proof service, exceptional Impact resistance and a broad range of chemical resistance to most chemicals.Top
2. What chemicals can I store in your tanks? Poly tanks have a broad range of chemical resistance to both Agricultural and Industrial chemicals. The Industrial Chemicals Chemical Resistance Chart will indicate the chemical resistances for the polyethylene resins used by Snyder Industries.Top
3. What material does Snyder use to manufacture it's poly tanks? Snyder uses HDLPE (high density linear polyethylene resins) to manufacture our tank line. Specific applications benifit from a special resin XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). Cross-link polyethylene has excellent structural rigidity and impact resistance. It is used as an alternative to HDLPE for storing surfactants or solvent-based chemicals, or for higher service temperatures.Top
4. Which tank material is best? General guide lines can be problematic... It is always best to provide the application designer with specific application details (chemical, concentration, specific gravity, temperature, dimensions, mechanical loading) so a proper tank design recommendation can be made...Top
