145 Gallon Heavy Weight Crosslinked Horizontal Leg Tank- Poly-Mart manufactures a line (XLPE) Crosslinked Horizontal Leg Tanks in Austin, TX. Crosslinked Polyethylene is preferred in various chemical applications where regular HDPE is not compatible. Crosslinked Polyethylene is also preferred in Diesel Fuel Storage applications as regular HDPE is not suitable for the on-going storage of diesel. These tanks are also great for Bio-Diesel Storage applications.
Crosslinked Polyethylene is a thermoset resin that has superior heat and chemical resistance, stress cracking resistance as well as low temperature impact strength. Crosslinked Polyethylene material is formed by connecting polyethylene molecules with a chemical link during the manufacturing process making for a stronger tank. Crosslinked Polyethylene tanks are known for being more corrosion and chemical resistant than its peers such as stainless steel, mild steel, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks. Crosslinked tanks carry 5 times the impact strength of HDPE and are also considered the best option in many waste water applications as well as other harsh chemicals that are known to be stress cracking agents. These tanks are NOT for potable drinking water storage.
Poly-Mart manufactures crosslinked horizontal leg tanks in a premium weight 1.5 specific gravity & a heavy weight 1.9 specific gravity to accommodate for a wider range of chemical storage applications.
