The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon HDPE Vertical Chemical Storage Tank in white is built for stationary industrial chemical storage, molded from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. That 1.9 rating is the top tier of Snyder's range, which is what lets a single tank hold dense acids and concentrated salt solutions that lighter-rated vessels cannot. It stands 90 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, so confirm both the pad area and any overhead clearance before ordering. Water alone fills it at 9,174 pounds; loaded with contents at the full 1.9 SG ceiling the tank and liquid reach 17,431 pounds, and that worst-case figure is what your slab, anchoring, and rigging must be sized for.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your application?
This is a 1,100 gallon HDPE vertical tank sized for fixed chemical storage, not transport. Check the 64 x 64 inch footprint and 90 inch height against your containment area and building limits, and plan for a level, full-support concrete pad. One useful way to size the foundation without over-building: actual loaded weight is roughly the water weight (9,174 lb) multiplied by your contents' specific gravity. The 17,431 lb number is the 1.9 SG maximum, so a lighter chemistry loads the slab less than that ceiling. If you are still settling on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through usable volume versus nameplate gallons.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded HDLPE and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating. HDLPE (high density linear polyethylene) and XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) resist different chemistries, so always match your chemical to this resin specifically. The fitting and gasket recommendations below are concentration- and temperature-specific; verify them against your exact service conditions in our Chemical Compatibility Database, which cites the OEM chemical-resistance chart. The biggest mistake on a chemical tank is matching the tank but not the fittings and gaskets, so think in gasket classes: EPDM covers most salts and glycols; Viton is for the oxidizers and strong acids; Aflas is called out for peracetic acid; and DEF, peracetic acid, propylene glycol, and zinc orthophosphate want 316 stainless metal fittings rather than PVC.
Chemicals this tank can store, with recommended fitting and gasket materials: Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC, EPDM), Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM), Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), Magnesium Chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM), Peracetic Acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas), Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), Sodium Hypochlorite (under 16.5%, PVC, Viton), Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM), Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC, Viton), Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM), and Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM). Ozonated water (up to 10 PPM, PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets) is also compatible; we do not yet have a standalone database page for it, so call us for that guidance. Note the pattern: sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and sulfuric acid need Viton, not the EPDM that works for most salts, and DEF and peracetic acid call for 316 stainless. Spec the elastomer to the chemical, not just the tank.
Freight and ordering
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP. Snyder produces this HDPE chemical tank at multiple plants - Lincoln, NE; Marked Tree, AR; and Philippi, WV - and stocking can vary by plant, so confirm the origin-to-ZIP routing before you anchor on a number. Get an exact figure with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm availability and fitting configuration. For instrumentation, our guide on level gauge selection for chemical service compares radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and magnetostrictive options, and if secondary containment is in scope, the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment versus UL-142 and SPCC comparison is worth reading before you finalize the layout.
