High-density cross-linked polyethylene offers superior value for storing a wide range of critical chemicals. Gel level testing is the ASTM D-1998 method used to test the cross-link density of the polyethylene. The ASTM standard establishes a minimum for the percentage of cross-linked or polymer connected chains. This article and the downloadable technical bulletin will help to explain this standard.

It's simple common sense. A longer-lasting storage tank is a less expensive storage tank. One question we hear frequently is: “How long should a high-density crosslinked polyethylene tank last?” Based upon feedback from actual customers over 35 years, high-density crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) lasts 30-40% longer than linear polyethylene tanks. This translates into ten additional years of useful tank service, with 15-20 years as the typical useful life of high-density crosslinked polyethylene tanks.
