Polypropylene Pickling Tanks

Polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance and is strong, lightweight and durable. It is compatible with high and low temperatures and has excellent thermal insulation properties. Polypropylene offers many advantages over other traditional metal cans such as steel, stainless steel and titanium. Benefits include seamless construction that offers excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, chemicals and fuel additives.

To make a pickling tank, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Choose a suitable container: Pickling tanks can be made from a variety of materials, Polypropylene plastic, fiberglass, stainless steel, and glass. Choose a material that is resistant to corrosion and can withstand the chemicals used in the pickling process.
  2. Determine the size of the tank: The size of the tank will depend on the volume of material you plan to pickle. It’s important to have enough space in the tank to fully immerse the items you want to pickle.
  3. Install a drain: A drain is essential for removing the pickling solution from the tank. Make sure the drain is located at the bottom of the tank and is large enough to allow the solution to flow out quickly.
  4. Install a heating element: Pickling solution is typically heated to speed up the process. You can install a heating element, such as an immersion heater, to heat the solution. Be sure to follow all safety precautions when installing electrical equipment.
  5. Add pickling solution: Once the tank is ready, you can add the pickling solution. The solution typically consists of an acid, such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid, and water. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the solution and use caution when handling the chemicals.
  6. Immerse the items to be pickled: Carefully place the items to be pickled into the tank, making sure they are fully immersed in the solution.
  7. Monitor the pickling process: The length of time required for pickling will vary depending on the type and thickness of the material being pickled. Monitor the process closely to ensure that the material is not over-pickled.
  8. Rinse and neutralize the pickled items: Once the pickling process is complete, rinse the items thoroughly with water to remove any residual pickling solution. You may also need to neutralize the acid with a baking soda solution.
  9. Clean the tank: After use, drain the pickling solution and thoroughly clean the tank to prevent corrosion and ensure it is ready for the next use.
