Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IBC tank used for?
IBC tanks store and transport liquids, semi-liquids, and granular materials in industrial quantities (1,000 litres). Common uses: chemical storage, food ingredient transport, agricultural liquid storage, pharmaceutical raw materials, and oil products.
What is the difference between a new and reconditioned IBC tank?
A new IBC uses a factory-fresh HDPE bottle and frame. A reconditioned IBC has a new HDPE bottle installed in an inspected steel frame, pressure-tested and UN-recertified. Both meet the same UN transport standard — reconditioned costs 40–50% less.
What does ATEX mean for an IBC tank?
ATEX certified IBC tanks are safe for flammable liquids. The conductive HDPE bottle and grounded frame prevent static electricity — required in facilities storing acetone, IPA, toluene, ethanol, and similar flammable solvents (ATEX Zone 1/2).
