Soybean Oil is an edible vegetable oil pressed from soybeans, rich in linoleic acid, with a specific gravity of about 0.92 and a high flash point. It is used for cooking oils, margarine and processed foods, biodiesel, printing inks, paints, epoxidized plasticizers and lubricants. Bulk soybean oil storage needs food-grade, covered tanks to limit oxidation and moisture. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
HDPE is the most economical tank material for Soybean Oil, rated Excellent. Polypropylene, nylon and PVDF (Kynar®) are also rated Good or better. Rated Fair (contact us before use): EPDM gaskets.
