Golden Collar manufactures PTFE tanks and PTFE storage tanks for chemical handling, semiconductor processing, laboratory equipment, water treatment, and other industrial applications. Tanks can be customized according to customer drawings, required dimensions, connection configurations, and operating conditions.
PTFE offers broad resistance to many acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive process chemicals, making it suitable for selected storage and fluid-handling applications involving aggressive media. Still review chemical compatibility against the actual media, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions. PTFE tanks and PTFE storage containers can be used where corrosion resistance, cleanliness, low surface adhesion, and chemical compatibility are important. The low surface energy of PTFE can also help reduce material buildup and simplify cleaning in suitable process environments.
Custom PTFE tanks can be manufactured in different sizes and configurations, including cylindrical and rectangular designs, with optional ports, flanges, fittings, covers, and other connection features based on system requirements.
Key Features of PTFE Tanks
Chemical Resistance
PTFE resists many corrosive process chemicals commonly encountered in chemical processing, laboratory, semiconductor, and industrial fluid-handling systems. Suitability depends on the
actual chemical media, concentration, temperature, exposure conditions, and tank design.
Custom Sizes and Configurations
Tank dimensions, wall thickness, overall geometry, openings, covers, and installation features can be reviewed according to customer drawings and application requirements.
Custom Ports & Connections
Inlets, outlets, flanges, fittings, covers, and other connection features can be configured according to the tank layout, piping arrangement, and system requirements.
Wide Temperature Capability
PTFE maintains useful performance across a broad temperature range, but actual operating suitability depends on tank geometry, mechanical loading, pressure, chemical media, support conditions, and the complete system design.
Low Surface Energy
The low surface energy of PTFE can help reduce material adhesion and buildup, which may simplify cleaning and maintenance in suitable processing environments.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction
PTFE does not rust like metallic materials and can be considered for tanks and storage containers used with corrosive fluids where material compatibility is a key design requirement.
PTFE Tank Applications
PTFE tanks and storage tanks are used in applications where chemical resistance, corrosion control, cleanliness, and custom fluid-handling configurations are required.
- Chemical processing systems
- Semiconductor wet processing
- Laboratory equipment
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Water treatment systems
- Chemical storage and transfer
- Electronics manufacturing
- Industrial fluid-handling systems
- Custom OEM equipment
What to Specify for a Custom PTFE Tank
For a custom PTFE tank quotation, provide as much application and dimensional information as possible. This helps confirm material suitability, manufacturing feasibility, connection layout, and inspection requirements before production.
- Tank dimensions or required capacity
- Cylindrical, rectangular, or other required geometry
- Wall thickness, if already specified
- Stored or processed chemical media
- Operating and cleaning temperatures
- Pressure or vacuum conditions, if applicable
- Inlet and outlet locations
- Flange, fitting, and connection requirements
- Lid, cover, vent, drain, or access requirements
- Mounting and installation conditions
- Required quantity
- Engineering drawing, sketch, or reference dimensions
- Inspection or documentation requirements
If a drawing is available, send it together with the chemical media, operating conditions, and connection requirements so the tank design can be reviewed against the intended application.
