WHICH RESIN SHOULD BE USED – LINEAR (HDLPE) OR CROSSED LINKED (XLPE)?
Since there is no one type of resin that is best suited for every application, We offer tanks manufactured using both cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and linear polyethylene (HDLPE) resins. While XLPE tanks are preferred in some applications such as surfactants, field experience and laboratory testing demonstrate that in many applications HDLPE tanks are equivalent to or superior to XLPE tanks. Please refer to the Chemical Resistance Recommendation Chart to determine which resin is best suited for your application. Or call us for assistance.
