Why choose polycarbonate PC for drinking water Tank

In modern life, large barrels of water are one of the main ways of supplying drinking water, and their convenience and practicality are deeply loved by consumers. The material selection and manufacturing of the drinking water tank that carry these clear water sources are also crucial. In recent years, polycarbonate materials have gradually become the new favorite in the field of large drinking water tank manufacturing due to their unique properties and advantages.

What are the advantages of using polycarbonate (PC) for drinking water tank ?

Polycarbonate, as an advanced thermoplastic, has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, cold resistance and good processing properties. These characteristics make polycarbonate materials perform well when manufacturing drinking water tank, providing a strong guarantee for the quality and safety of drinking water tank.

First of all, the excellent mechanical properties of polycarbonate material make the bucket less likely to deform or break when subjected to heavy pressure and impact. This is a big advantage for drinking water tank that need to be moved and stacked frequently. At the same time, its good heat resistance and cold resistance also ensure the stability and durability of drinking water tank under different ambient temperatures. Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, the integrity and performance of the bucket can be maintained.

Secondly, the excellent processing properties of polycarbonate materials make the drinking water tank manufacturing process more efficient and precise. Through advanced injection molding technology, drinking water tank with complex structures and precise dimensions can be molded in one go, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces manufacturing costs. In addition, polycarbonate material also has good recyclability, which helps to realize the environmental protection and sustainable development of drinking water tank.

What’s more, the polycarbonate material also excels when it comes to drinking water tank safety. It is non-toxic and odorless and does not react with chemicals in the water, thus ensuring the purity and safety of the water. This is crucial for drinking water that is directly related to people's health.

In summary, the application of polycarbonate materials in the manufacturing of large water buckets not only improves the quality and performance of the buckets, but also ensures the safety and environmental protection of drinking water. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's requirements for quality of life, it is believed that polycarbonate materials will show their unique charm and value in more fields.For drinking water tank, choosing polycarbonate material means choosing the guarantee of quality, safety and environmental protection.

How should we choose polycarbonate for drinking water tank?

When selecting polycarbonate (PC) raw materials for the production of drinking water tank, we can comprehensively consider the following aspects to ensure that we purchase high-quality, safe and suitable raw materials for the production of buckets:

1.. Whether it meets drinking water or food contact grade quality testing standards. Conventional standards include FDA 21CFR177.1580 and European food contact regulations EC Directive 2002/72/EC certification, etc.

2. Whether the polycarbonate (PC) raw material is clear and transparent and not prone to yellow edges. The PC drinking water tank will not yellow for a long time.

3.Whether the impact strength can reach 70KJ/m², this standard is based on the data of SABIC LEXAN™ PK2870 polycarbonate for drinking water tank.

Where can we currently source polycarbonate for drinking water tank?

1.SABIC: 

SABIC LEXAN™ PK2870 is well known by many bucket manufacturers. PK2870 has high melt strength, high impact resistance, thermal stability, and transparency. The material has been certified by FDA 21CFR177.1580 and European food contact regulations EC Directive 2002/72/EC, and can be safely used in food packaging and containers. 

2.Mitsubishi: 

Mitsubishi Novarex™ M7027BF has excellent impact resistance and can withstand large external impacts without being easily broken. It has high viscosity and can be used for blow molding. It has extremely high transparency and is suitable for manufacturing products that require high transparency.

3.Wanhua: 

Wanhua CLARNATE® WB2032 has excellent melt strength, excellent impact resistance, good temperature resistance, stable background color, and few crystal points. These characteristics make WB2032 more beautiful in appearance when made into products such as buckets. , evenly. CLARNATE® WB2032 complies with food-grade requirements and has passed FDA certification. It can directly contact pure water sources to ensure healthy and environmentally friendly drinking water.

 4.SINOPEC SABIC TianJin Petrochemical Company Limited（SSTPC）:

SSTPC was jointly founded by sabic and Sinopec. CH30-0R-L successfully developed and produced the first batch of 3-finger PC drinking water tank.It has passed various inspections and tests, especially in the high-altitude landing test, and performed well. Far exceeding the industry standard by four times, demonstrating extremely high safety performance.CH30-0R-L also solves the problems of unstable supply and high price of PC drinking water tank materials in the Chinese market.
