The Snyder Industries 120 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank is a 120-gallon cross-linked polyethylene tank built for bulk chemical service, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity so it can carry dense liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. It stands 67 inches tall on a 43 by 56 inch footprint, in white XLPE, and ships from Snyder's plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas. If you are sizing a chemical feed station and searching xlpe, snyder, or chemical tank inventory, this is the 120 gallon XLPE tank to put on your pad.
Will it work for your job?
Confirm three numbers before you commit. First, the 1.9 specific gravity rating is the ceiling: it tells you the tank holds a liquid up to 1.9 times the density of water without overstressing the wall, so check your chemical's specific gravity against it. Second, plan your slab and anchoring around the weight. Filled with water this tank carries about 1,001 pounds; loaded to its maximum rated contents weight it reaches roughly 1,902 pounds, so size the footing for the heavier number. Third, the clearances: the 43 by 56 inch footprint has to fit your containment area or skid frame, and at 67 inches tall the tank also needs vertical headroom under any fill line, roof, or doorway. Run the math through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between capacities.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is what makes it suitable for the concentrated chemical solutions below. Always match your fitting and gasket materials to the chemical, and confirm against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact concentration and operating temperature before service. The pairings below come from that chart:
- Acetic Acid (60%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets (see the full database)
Two callouts matter. Hydrofluosilicic acid calls for Viton gaskets rather than the EPDM that works for the rest of this list. And the metallurgy splits for nitrogen streams: DEF (32.5%) wants 316 stainless wetted parts, while urea solution (50%) tolerates PP or PVC, so do not carry DEF hardware over to other streams.

The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a tank like this is treating XLPE and standard HDPE as interchangeable, or running a chemical near its concentration limit without verifying the resin. Cross-linked polyethylene resists permeation and stress cracking better than standard linear polyethylene, which is why Snyder builds this feed station tank in XLPE and rates it to 1.9 SG. Do not downgrade to a lower-SG tank for a heavy liquid, and do not assume one gasket compound covers every chemical. One more thing the data does not lock down: this listing does not specify factory-installed fittings, so spec your bulkhead, outlet, and vent sizes when you order, matched to the fitting and gasket materials above. For a feed station carrying up to 1,902 pounds of chemical, plan secondary containment too; our Snyder Captor 110% containment vs UL-142 and SPCC comparison walks through the options, and getting level instrumentation right matters as well, so see our guide on tank level gauge selection for chemical service. Review tank label and signage compliance before the tank goes into service.
