Take 3 Easy Steps to Repair Polythene Water Storage Tank

Image
Polythene tanks are suitable for storing water for large industry and firm or agricultural industries.      Poly tanks are useful for storing a large amount of water, but they are highly prone to leakage in high sunlight exposure. Though they are not easily breakable, the water tank gets brittle, especially in wintertime due to low temperature or temperature fall. Sometimes, this poly tank can get leakage while cleaning or if there is some other construction work going on and the workers don't pay heed on the poly tanks. These kinds of carelessness can damage the tank. High exposure to the sun for years can too damage the surface.  You would be surprised to know that the acidic rain or acid rain in industry belt too can affect the polythene texture of the tank by years of constant acidic exposure. Still, industries are drawn towards poly tank usage as these are economical with moderate durability. They even keep the algae and moss away from growing in rapid...

3 Common Factors Which Cause Your Water Tank to Leak

Image
Your water tank is an alternative source of water every time the mainline goes down. Some homeowners even use their rainwater tanks as their main water supply. However, like everything, when continually exposed to the outside elements, your reliable tank can show signs of wear and tear. Leakage is one common water tank issue which develops over time. And if left unchecked, it will only worsen and cause wastage of water and expensive structural repairs. To stop this, you will need to understand the factors which result in leaks forming on your water tank.  So, let’s begin! Rusting, Which Eventually Leads To Cracking: -  Perhaps the commonest factor which causes your water tank to crack is rusting. Nothing lasts forever, even highly durable water tanks.  With time, they too will deteriorate. And that deterioration will result in rusting and subsequent cracking. The only rational way to prevent this is by checking your water tank regularly for possible signs of ru...

What Are the Benefits of Opting for Plastic Welding?

Image
Plastic welding is means creating a molecular bond between two compatible thermoplastics. Moreover, poly welding offers good strength, and finished welds stay for a longer time, which means you will not need to replace or repair it any time soon. Also, poly welds are proved superior to steel weldments, as they can the chemical can corrode and contaminate metal. Besides, there are many other advantages of using plastic welding. Given below are some of the advantages of using plastic welding: You Will not Require Additional Consumables If you opt for plastic welding on tanks, then you do not need to invest in other consumable items. You can be relaxed and assured that you would not have to buy fasteners, solvents, or glues that can add complication and risk to the joining process. Usable in Any Joint Shape You might think that plastic weld is for flat plane welds, then that is not the case. Due to modern technology, you can use plastic weld for any complex shapes...

How does the UV Rays of Sun Damage Poly Water Tanks?

Image
Polywater tanks being made up of plastic tends to get a bad rap. Although you might think that during the harsh summer and heat is quite a lot for poly tanks to tolerate, it is not the case with every poly tank. Plastic can degrade as an outcome of exposure to UV light, moisture, high temperatures, biological exposure, and air pollution. Sunlight or UV light is the most vicious of them all.  Photo-oxidation- what exactly poly tanks relation with it is? During the hottest months of a year, numerous things come under the threat of sun, and poly tanks are no exception. A subpar tank can suffer from molecular degradation as time flows, due to the result of UV degradation or photo-oxidation. Initially, the UV radiation outcomes in brittleness on the tank's surface layer, subsequently shrinkage can ensue and thus, leading to stains that make the tank more susceptible to even more oxidation Certain symptoms of degradation in the poly water tanks due to the result of photo-...

What Are The Tools That The Plastic Welding Pros Use For Their Job?

Image
Broadly, plastic welding tools can be divided into two categories - manual devices and extrusion welding devices. The manual sets of tools are used for small scale fabrication and repair works and various detailed projects. Extrusion welders, on the other hand, are best suited for large- scale fabrication projects like tanks, liners, shutes, piping and the likes. Manual Tools... These tools come in handy in case of building one-off prototypes and carrying out detailing work and conducting minute repairs here and there. There is a wide range of hand-held tools, and they are specifically designed to weld thinner plastics - not the thicker varieties. The thicker ones need multiple passes for fully welding the materials. However, with every pass, the chance of imperfection simply multiplies, thereby increasing the probability of weld failures. Hence, for the thicker varieties, the pros use extrusion welder. One of the most popular manual tools that the pros use for plastic weldi...
