CHEMICAL RESISTANT CHART FOR

INDUSTRIAL CONTAINERS AND TANKS

CHEMICALS / SUBSTANCES / REAGENTS TO BE STORED OR HELD :
The resins used by us for the manufacture of Sintex industrial containers & tanks are highly resistant to most aggressive chemicals. However, environmental
strees, elevated temperatures and extended exposures compound the effect of the chemicals. These factors have to be considered at the time of use of Sintex
Containers & tanks. Under normal conditions,the following legend should be followed:
R : Resistant
N : Non-resistant
O : Resistance is variable depending upon the exact conditions of use as well as residual stresses in the containers. Sintex industrial containers & tanks are
100% stress-free and therefore likely to be more resistant than other injection or blow moulded containers.Yet, final recommendation will be based on
actual trials.
All the information given below for individual chemical is based on data collected from reliable sources and limited experience, but without warranty. The behavior
of a combination of chemicals is bound to be different than an individual chemical and therefore we do not take any responsibility for use of our containers & tanks
for any combination of chemicals unless agreed otherwise by our technical department at our Head Office in writing.
