Surprisingly, despite having been used in industries exposed to harsh chemicals and corrosion for decades, many people think plastic tanks and containers are only suitable for water or other mild liquids. The development of high performance plastics have made them ideal for a wide range of applications like liquid storage tanks, water-treatment plants, pickling and more.

Thermoplastics are created to be extremely chemical and corrosion resistant. We work with our partner Roechling to deliver our customers the exact type of plastic equipment they need. In the case of high performance plastics in chemical and liquid environments, the Polystone line is designed to last even in chemical plants.

Plus, tanks can be created with plastics that are UV resistant to save valuable indoor floor space and keep tanks safely outside. Food-grade plastics are also available giving food processors a greater amount of flexibility in plant development. Even pickling plants have turned to polypropylenes in the last 20 years.

Plastics have always offered a great amount of flexibility in use, but when you see how they stand up to some of the most difficult environments, it’s easy to see how much more they can offer.
