The Chlorine Institute, Inc., Phamplet 96 titled SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE MANUAL, Edition 2, May 2000, Section 6.2, Storage Containers, Subsection 6.2.2.4, Materials of Construction, paragraph c), reads:

"Sodium hypochlorite users and manufacturers have had success with high density linear polyethylene tanks, however, high density cross-linked polyethylene should not be used. Vertical stress cracking has been experienced with the cross-linked polyethylene storage tanks in this service."

This has, and continues to be KEFCO's, and KEFCO's customers' experiences. Don't believe all the cross-linky stuff! KEFCO offers a better warranty along with better pricing for this service. Order Phamplet 96 at www.cl2.com and see for yourself! Why has cross-linked poly been spec'd so often? At one time it was the "only" resin available. The original cross-linked polyethylene resins are no longer available and, the rotational equipment is usually out-dated compared to our modern equipment.

Take a few minutes to browse KEFCO's SAFETANKS web pages. We don't even begin to list all the possible poly tank configurations, sizes, containment, and shipping points available. But, we're willing to bet, dollars to donuts, that our experienced personnel will be able to solve your worst storage nightmare with a rotationally molded poly containment basin, poly vertical tank, or one of our safe poly double wall tanks. We stock the worlds' largest inventory of poly horizontal tanks, horizontal leg, elliptical, cone, conical bottom, upright, vertical, rectangular, open tops, mixing, poly chemical processing tanks, and safe poly double wall tanks and poly containment basins - all rotationally molded, seamless, from high density polyethylene and crosslink polyethylene (poly) including the worlds' largest upright poly tank, 16,500 gallon straight wall capacity!

The vessels above were put into service storing sodium hypochlorite at 17% and were warranteed for three [3] years by the manufacturer. "Safetanks" ships this configuration daily throughout the United States.

Safetanks personnel are meeting the demands of a changing world. We are doing everything humanly possible to protect and preserve the environment. We are aiding in the design and development of storage vessels for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, petrochemical, and related industries that are all designed to protect the environment.

Linear polyethylene tanks are rototationally molded in one piece, seamless construction. HDPE tanks can be used indoors or outdoors; UV Inhibitors are added to the resin before the vessel is molded. How do rotationally molded PE tanks compare to fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks?

Advantages of tanks produced from rotationally molded polyethylene (PE) over tanks produced with FRP include: greater impact resistance, a homogeneous wall, better weatherability, a broader range of chemical resistance, and lower cost. Advantages over mild steel and stainless steel include: better stress-crack resistance in mobile applications due to stress-free construction, a broader range of chemical resistance, seamless wall construction, more economical site preparation and installation and a lower price in many cases. PE also does not dent. Take a closer look at our poly upright tanks.
