What is Polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a flexible and durable plastic widely used in many sectors in the modern world. Polyethylene has an indispensable place in the industry thanks to the properties, usage areas and advantages of the raw material.
Properties of Polyethylene
Polyethylene is a petroleum-based polymer raw material commonly used in the production of plastics. It is divided into two main raw materials: high density high density (HDPE) and low density low density (LLDPE).
Areas of Use of Polyethylene
Polyethylene is used in many areas from packaging materials to the construction industry, from automotive to medical equipment. It is especially preferred in food packaging, water pipes, water tanks and electrical cables.
Advantages of Polyethylene
Polyethylene has become a preferred material in many fields thanks to its low cost, chemical resistance, easy processability, flexibility and durability. It also reduces transportation and shipping costs thanks to its light weight.
Polyethylene Recycling and Sustainability
Polyethylene is a recyclable material. In this way, it is possible to reduce environmental impacts and contribute to a sustainable future. Polyethylene is an indispensable material used in many sectors today. It is possible to minimize its environmental impact by recycling and proper use for a sustainable future. However, in some productions, for example in polyethylene water tanks, it is not desirable to produce tanks with recycling as it will shorten the life of the tank.
What Can Be Made with Polyethylene?
Water tanks, brine tanks, pickle and turnip tanks, adblue tanks, diesel tanks, boats and canoes, floating dock systems, septic tanks, pallets, silos, chemical production tanks, calf huts and drinkers, road barriers, dog kennels, Everything that comes to mind such as park play groups, decorative product groups, textile product groups, agricultural spraying warehouses, medical equipment in the health sector, drainage systems, food storage containers, hardware and storage enclosures can be produced by rotational molding. Very small products are produced by injection molding.
Polyethylene Warehouse
Polyethylene tanks are a popular water storage solution that has gained prominence and preference in recent years for individual and institutional needs and industrial uses.
Polyethylene Water Tank Features
Polyethylene tanks have a very flexible structure when produced with original raw materials. Thanks to this structure, it is resistant to mini impacts and hot and cold air expansions. Thanks to its UV additive, it becomes resistant to the harmful and corrosive rays of the sun and provides long-term use outdoors. It is suitable for use in all seasons. Since the monoblock consists of a single piece, no separation is observed. It is a good chemical storage method as it shows a natural resistance to chemicals, acids and bases. Once installed, there is no need for maintenance and repair for many years. However, the condition of the water tank should be checked during cleaning once every 6 months. While it is preferred thanks to its light weight, it is also easy and economical to transport. While standard production colors can be preferred, it offers the possibility of personal / company-specific production with color options in special quantities. It can be thickened according to the density of the required chemical content. It is possible to thicken and produce specially for vehicle transportation. It can work seamlessly as an integrated system with booster and submersible pumps. It can work seamlessly with mechanical and electronic floats used to cut off the water transmitted when the polyethylene tank is full and to transfer water to the tank when the water is missing. Compatible with rainwater harvesting conversion projects.
Polyethylene Water Tank Usage Areas
Polyethylene tanks have a wide range of uses. Polyethylene tanks can be used as domestic water, drinking water and fire water tanks. In homes and workplaces (such as cafes, restaurants, hotels and schools), apartment and housing estate administrations, rainwater collection, garden irrigation, agricultural irrigation lands, hobby gardens and landscaping applications, breeding farms (trout production facilities, poultry such as chicken, cattle and sheep breeding), car wash and carpet washing facilities, drinking water and treatment facilities of water administrations, chlorination and dosing facilities or swimming pool feeds, production and storage of chemicals, Polyethylene tanks are frequently used in the storage of dry and liquid foodstuffs, storage of products such as diesel and adblue, storage of wastewater and septic tank contents, AFAD tents in emergency action plans, prefabricated buildings in rural settlements, storage of cold water in solar energy systems, solar panel washing and cleaning systems, fire extinguishing systems, drinking water and utility water in schools and hospitals, supply lines for industrial plants, construction sites such as mining and construction.
Polyethylene Water Tank Advantages
Polyethylene does not corrode, mold and rust. It can be used for many years, it does not rot. It is resistant to high temperature changes. Thanks to its light weight, transportation and assembly processes are very easy. Due to their long life, polyethylene warehouses provide cost savings in the long term. Environmentally friendly polyethylene is a recyclable material. This makes it a sustainable storage solution. Polyethylene warehouses are an ideal solution for modern storage needs. With flexibility, durability and cost-effectiveness, they are a great option for both residential and industrial uses. If you are looking for a long-lasting, reliable and economical storage solution, you should consider polyethylene tanks.
Polyethylene Warehouse Models and Types
Polyethylene warehouses are generally vertical, horizontal, conical and angular (also referred to as rectangular, square, caravan type). These warehouses also vary as single-layer (white, blue), double-layer (white inside and blue outside) or 3-layer (white inside, dark gray in the middle and blue outside) depending on the production process. They are also separated according to underground and surface use. Please consult Santaş Water Tanks sales representative for underground applications.
Polyethylene Warehouse Prices
Polyethylene raw material is produced by Petkim in Turkey, but the amount of production is quite low and does not meet the demand. For this reason, polyethylene raw materials of different qualities are imported from different countries. This is one of the main costs in the formation of different prices in polyethylene production. If recycled raw materials are used instead of original polyethylene raw materials, costs are almost halved. In other words, if the purchaser or companies ignore quality and longevity, they focus only on price. This usually results in short-lived use of the tank. For this reason, when purchasing a water tank, one should not focus only on the price of the polyethylene tank. The company’s history in the sector, its quality works and references should be well researched. Other factors affecting the prices of polyethylene tanks are; production molds of the water tank, production machines (such as powder making, rotation and blow molding, injection), cooking at the right production times, cooling at the right times, using masterbatch granules colored with good pigment instead of using natural raw materials, polyethylene tanks having volumes and kilograms in real liters, professional workmanship and regular work follow-up expert staff and engineers, after-sales support. Santaş water tanks are one of the market leading companies with water storage systems that have been serving since 2000 with quality polyethylene water tanks in the sector. You can contact our Santaş Water Tanks sales representative about the quality and most economical polyethylene water tank prices.
Can Polyethylene Be Painted?
Polyethylene is natural color as original raw material. If subsequent coloring is desired, it can be colored with masterbach. However, it does not normally hold paint on its surface. There are several issues for polyethylene to be painted. The most important of these is special primer application. After obtaining a surface that is thoroughly cleaned from moisture, dust and oil, polyethylene is painted after the primer application that penetrates into the polyethylene.
What are the Environmental Impacts of Polyethylene?
Around 350 million tons of plastics are produced and consumed annually in the world. However, none of these plastics self-destruct in nature in short periods of time. A 2017 study found that only 9% of the end-of-life plastics produced to date have been recycled. Therefore, the production of plastics in large quantities has serious impacts on nature. In order to leave a cleaner living space for future generations, it is important to extend the lifespan of purchased polyethylene products. You can review our instructions for the correct and long-lasting use of polyethylene water tanks.
