Choose by concentration

Typical Acid Strengths in Batteries

HDPE, polypropylene and PVDF each handle sulfuric acid differently. See the compatibility chart for every rating.

10–75%

Mid-strength acid

HDPE, polypropylene and PVDF all rated Excellent. Viton® gaskets Excellent; EPDM and Buna-N Good.

75–93%

Concentrated acid

PVDF rated Excellent and HDPE rated Good. Polypropylene drops to Fair. Use PVDF fittings and Viton® gaskets.

What to consider

Getting the Right Tank the First Time

Send the acid concentration, temperature, volume and fittings you need. We’ll match the resin, SG rating and gaskets.

  • Electrolyte strength: battery electrolyte is mid-strength acid, where HDPE, polypropylene and PVDF are all rated Excellent.
  • Mixing heats up: sulfuric acid releases heat when it reacts with water. Tell us how you mix electrolyte so we can match the resin and fittings.
  • Blending: cone bottom tanks drain completely between batches.
  • Gaskets: Viton® is rated Excellent; EPDM and Buna-N are rated Good in this range.
