Chemical Handling Solutions – Custom Plastic Fabrication for Safe and Reliable Chemical Storage

When it comes to chemical handling, safety, durability, and resistance to harsh substances are essential. At Poly Synthesis, we specialize in custom plastic fabrication for the chemical handling industry, delivering solutions that meet the demanding requirements of chemical storage, transport, and containment systems. Our expertise in engineering-grade plastics enables us to fabricate tanks, pipes, and components that offer exceptional chemical resistance, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance in even the most challenging environments.

Whether you’re storing acids, alkalis, or other corrosive chemicals, our custom-fabricated solutions are designed to provide safe, leak-proof containment while adhering to the highest industry standards. With a focus on durability and precision, Poly Synthesis is a trusted partner for companies handling dangerous substances that require specialized storage and transport systems.

Chemical-Resistant Plastic Materials for Long-Lasting Performance

At Poly Synthesis, we understand the critical importance of selecting the right materials for chemical handling applications. Each chemical poses unique challenges, and the material chosen must offer the appropriate level of resistance to avoid degradation, contamination, or failure. Our custom solutions are fabricated from high-performance, chemically resistant plastics that are engineered to withstand harsh environments, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances.

Our most commonly used materials for chemical handling applications include:

  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Known for its high chemical resistance and durability, HDPE is ideal for storing a wide range of acids, bases, and industrial chemicals. It resists cracking, corrosion, and environmental stress, making it suitable for long-term containment solutions.

  • Polypropylene (PP-H): PP-H is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, including many acids and solvents. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to fabricate into custom tanks, piping, and other containment systems, ensuring flexibility in design while maintaining chemical integrity.

  • Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF): PVDF offers superior chemical resistance to highly aggressive substances, such as strong acids, hydrocarbons, and solvents. It also performs well under elevated temperatures, making it perfect for industries requiring heat-resistant materials.

  • Polyvinyl Chloride Unplasticised (PVC-U): PVC-U is often used for chemical piping systems due to its excellent chemical stability and resistance to corrosion. It is a trusted choice for fluid transport and industrial applications requiring flame-retardant materials.

By working with these high-quality materials, we ensure that your chemical storage and handling systems can endure years of operation without compromising safety or performance.

Why Choose Our Chemical Handling Solutions?

At Poly Synthesis, we provide industry-leading expertise and solutions designed for safe and effective chemical handling. Here’s why companies in the chemical sector trust us for their plastic fabrication needs:

1. Expertise in Chemical-Resistant Materials

We are specialists in fabricating with plastics that offer exceptional chemical resistance. Our extensive knowledge of materials like HDPE, PP-H, PVC-U, and PVDF ensures that we provide tailored solutions for even the most aggressive chemical environments. This guarantees that your storage and handling systems remain structurally sound and resistant to corrosive damage.

2. Custom Solutions for Complex Requirements

Each chemical handling project comes with its own unique set of challenges. We work closely with our clients to design and fabricate custom solutions that are tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s a bespoke storage tank for corrosive liquids or a custom-designed piping system for fluid transfer, we ensure that every product is fabricated to exact specifications.

3. Safety and Leak-Proof Designs

Handling hazardous chemicals requires the utmost attention to safety. Our products are designed with leak-proof seals, ensuring that no harmful substances escape into the environment. The custom nature of our fabrication allows us to incorporate features that enhance the safety of your operations, from secondary containment systems to specially designed inlet and outlet configurations.

4. Built for Tough Environments

In the chemical industry, equipment is often exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, pressure, and chemical aggression. Our custom-fabricated plastic products are built to withstand these environments, offering long-term durability and reliability, even in the harshest conditions. Whether your system is located indoors or outdoors, our materials provide UV stability and resistance to environmental degradation.

 

Fabricated in Brisbane for Australian Conditions

At Poly Synthesis, we understand the unique challenges posed by Australia’s diverse and often extreme climate. That’s why all of our custom-fabricated solutions are manufactured locally in Brisbane and designed to meet the demands of Australian industries. Whether you’re located in a coastal environment, where salt and humidity are factors, or in a dry, hot inland area, our chemical handling systems are built to last.

By manufacturing locally, we’re able to reduce lead times and provide personalised service, ensuring that your chemical handling solutions are delivered on schedule and to the highest quality standards. Our familiarity with Australian safety regulations and environmental factors allows us to design systems that are not only efficient but also fully compliant with local industry requirements.

Customisation Options for Chemical Handling Systems

One of the key factors that set our custom poly tanks apart is the use of high-performance plastics designed to offer superior durability, chemical resistance, and structural integrity. At Poly Synthesis, we work with a range of materials to ensure your tank is built to withstand the demands of your specific application. Our five primary materials include:

1. Custom Tank Sizes and Shapes

Various Sized Rectangular Custom HDPE Tanks

We fabricate custom tanks in any size or shape, whether you need a compact tank for a chemical processing facility or a large, high-capacity tank for industrial-scale chemical storage. Our tanks are designed to fit within your available space while offering the necessary capacity for safe storage.

2. Inlet and Outlet Configurations

Diesel Headboard Tank Custom Fabrication

We customise the placement and size of inlets, outlets, and drainage systems to meet your operational needs. Whether you require quick access for refilling, safe drainage options, or integrated pump systems, we tailor our designs to ensure that your tanks are both efficient and easy to maintain.

3. Secondary Containment Systems
