What is a bunded container A bunded container is a storage unit designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and spills of hazardous liquids. It consists of an inner tank or container that holds the stored substance and an outer bund that captures any leaks. The secondary containment can usually hold at least […]
What is a bunded tank A bunded tank is a type of storage tank designed with a secondary containment system, the bund, to prevent leaks or spills from escaping into the environment and creating safety risks. It consists of an inner tank that holds the stored liquid such as fuel, oil, or chemicals, and an […]
What are CEN standards CEN standards, developed by the European Committee for Standardisation, ensure quality, safety, and interoperability across industries in Europe. These standards are mainly used in manufacturing, construction, engineering, chemical storage and other sectors to harmonise practices within the European Single Market. Who Develops CEN Standards? CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) is responsible […]
What is an Effluent Tank An effluent tank is a sealed waste storage tank designed to collect hold liquid waste, usually from toilets, sinks, and industrial processes. These tanks are commonly used in locations without access to main sewage systems, such as construction sites, portable toilets, caravans, and temporary event setups. They do not usually […]
What is HDPE High density polyethylene is a durable, lightweight thermoplastic made from petroleum and is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. With a high molecular weight and a dense structure, HDPE is highly resistant to chemical attack, making it an ideal material for demanding industrial applications. Unlike other plastics, HDPE remains chemically inert when […]
What is polyethylene? Polyethylene tanks are durable, corrosion-resistant storage tanks manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other polyethylene material. These chemical containers are widely used across the industry for the safe storage of chemicals, including hazardous materials and different hazardous substances. Niplast design these chemical tanks for reliability and safety because they are suitable for […]
What is Polypropylene? Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material widely used in the chemical industry, construction industry, and packaging materials. It is formed through a process called polymerisation of propylene monomers, resulting in strong polymer chains with a semi-crystalline structure and excellent chemical resistance. Polypropylene has a high heat distortion temperature, making it suitable for heat […]
What is PVDF PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is a high-performance thermoplastic fluoropolymer known for its excellent chemical resistance, durability, and electrical properties. It is commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, aerospace, automotive, and construction. What is PVDF used for Chemical Storage Tanks: Used in industrial storage tanks for corrosive chemicals. Piping and Linings: Found […]
What Is a Slurry Tank A slurry tank is a storage container used to hold and manage a mixture of solid materials suspended in liquid, known as slurry. Niplast storage tanks create bespoke welded thermoplastic tanks and chemical storage to hold necessary acids and alkalis as well as slurry. Why Store Slurry Businesses and people […]
What is thermoplastic? Thermoplastic is a type of plastic that softens when heated and hardens when cooled. This process is reversible, meaning it can be re-melted and re-shaped multiple times without undergoing any chemical change. Thermoplastic materials are commonly used in various industries, such as food packaging, medical devices and electrical components. They are known […]
