Frontier Polymers: The ONLY manufacturer in India to offer chemical storage tanks in 'Crosslinked Polymer'

All Black Tanks are not the same, and not all tanks are fit for chemical storage. At Frontier Polymers, we understand the difference between rectangular water tanks, and chemical storage tanks; that’s why we use imported Hexene LLDPE resin for making chemical storage tanks.

The resin used has high ESCR (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance); this ensures that our chemical storage tanks enjoy a maximum possible life. The density and melt flow ensure that the tank has High Chemical Resistance due to closely packed molecules in the resin.  In fact, we’re the ONLY manufacturers in India to offer chemical storage tanks in 'Crosslinked Polymer'. These tanks from Frontier Polymers can withstand temperatures up to 110°C.
