Why Buy an Alkatuff Plastic Water Tank?

 In

Poly water tanks are a cost efficient way to store rainwater for domestic, industrial or commercial applications. Plastic rainwater tanks will not only save money in the long run due to lower water bills but are also a great way to help the environment. Plastic rainwater tanks don’t rust and are made in one single piece through a process called rotational moulding.

The raw material used to manufacture your plastic water tank is called polyethylene. Alkatuff is a unique Australian made brand of polyethylene used to develop plastic water tanks to ensure Australian’s are getting the highest quality product from the beginning. Alkatuff is the only Australian made raw material for water tanks so if it’s not an Alkatuff water tank, it’s imported.

Why buy Alkatuff Water Tanks:

  • Alkatuff is tough in the sun and has a UV performance level of UV20 to protect your plastic water tank from the harsh Australian sun. This is more than twice the Australian standard requirement of UV8.
  • C6 as opposed to C4, for toughness and resistance against stress cracking.
  • The Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) requirement of the tank standard AS4766 stipulates 500 hours of performance, whilst Alkatuff delivers ESCR performance in excess of 1000 hours. This means that tanks made with Alkatuff holding both chemicals and water will last the distance through superior resistance to stress cracking.
  • Alkatuff has high thermal stability making it less prone to oxidation, discolouration and loss of toughness whilst remaining tolerant of moulding process variation.
  • Alkatuff has been supplied to Australian tank manufacturers for over 20 years and has proven performance in Australian Conditions.
  • Alkatuff polyethylene is supported by local technical service and extensive technical data ensuring the design of your tank can be optimised.
  • Australian made for Australian conditions.
