Palm Oil is an edible vegetable oil from the fruit of the oil palm. It is semi-solid at room temperature, melts at about 95°F (35°C), and has a specific gravity of about 0.89 to 0.92. It is used in cooking oils, margarine, baked goods, soaps, cosmetics, biodiesel and oleochemicals. Bulk palm oil tanks are often heated to keep it pumpable, so check each tank resin's temperature limit. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
HDPE is the most economical tank material for Palm Oil, rated Excellent. PVDF (Kynar®) is also rated Good or better.
