Last updated: 2026-05-06. Total chemicals indexed: 778 across 55 chemistry clusters. Pillars are added continuously; if your chemistry is missing, call 866-418-1777 and we will publish the compatibility brief while you wait.

Chemical Compatibility Database

OEM-verified polyethylene tank, fitting, gasket, and bolt selection across 778 dedicated chemical pillar pages. Sourced from Snyder Industries and Enduraplas (Equistar).

How to use this database. Each page documents a single chemistry (or tight concentration family) with the complete system-of-construction: resin grade, specific gravity design rating, fitting material, gasket material, and bolt alloy. The recommendations are OEM-published, not general industry rules of thumb. Order any part of the stack wrong and you create a known failure path.

Extended Chemical Compatibility Data

Beyond the 33 pillar pages above, our database contains Enduraplas / Equistar polyethylene compatibility ratings for 309 chemicals including ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, glycerin, methanol, ethanol, nitric acid, phenol, potassium hydroxide, salt brines, and many specialty industrial fluids. Additional pillar pages covering these chemistries are published continuously. Contact us with your chemistry and we will pull the compatibility data and recommend the correct system while you wait.

Rating Legend

RatingMeaningService Guidance
S — SatisfactoryLong-term service, no expected damageOK for indefinite storage with proper venting and hardware
O — LimitedOccasional or short-term useOK for transient handling; do NOT use for long-term storage
U — UnsatisfactoryDo not useMaterial will degrade; select a different resin or tank material

Chemical-Service Tanks

These HDPE vertical chemical-storage tanks from Snyder Industries ship pre-engineered for industrial chemistry service at 1.9 ASTM design specific gravity. When you order for your chemistry service, our team verifies the full materials-of-construction stack (resin grade, fittings, gaskets, bolts) against the OEM recommendations above before shipment — no surprises at commissioning.
