PVDF Use Notes
This tank is rotomolded from Kynar Flex® 2850 WR PVDF, a fluoropolymer for the strong acids, oxidizers and high-purity liquids that polyethylene and polypropylene can’t handle.
Temperature: PVDF handles up to 275°F in some applications, but the limit depends on the chemical. The temperatures above are Arkema’s limits for each chemical; see the full compatibility chart for 106 chemicals.
Specific gravity: this tank is rated 1.9 SG. Choose a rating at or above your chemical’s specific gravity.
Fittings: welded fittings are molded from the same PVDF as the tank. Don’t use welded flanges in sidewalls for nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid or other oxidizers. See fittings.
Gaskets: Viton® is best for many strong acids, but avoid it with ketones and strong caustics. EPDM is a strong choice for most acids, caustics and water, but not for oils and fuels.
Warranty: sulfuric acid, bleach and caustic soda storage carry a one-year warranty instead of the standard three-year warranty. Warranty details.
