Dotmar Engineering Plastics provides specialised solutions engineered to prevent catastrophic failures and ensure operational integrity. Offering superior durability and reliability compared to traditional materials like fiberglass, Dotmar's engineering plastics streamline production, reduce costs, and meet stringent industry standards.
Dotmar understand that material selection is not merely a matter of preference but a critical decision that can make or break operations. Our range of engineering plastics are produced to withstand the harsh and varied conditions encountered in chemical processing, from varying concentrations to extreme temperatures and durations of exposure.
Comparing to traditional materials like fiberglass, fabricated plastic tanks offer very real advantages. While fiberglass may appear robust, it conceals hidden risks. A minor impact can lead to catastrophic failure, compromising the entire system. The infiltration of harsh chemicals like hydrochloric acid can lead to corrosion of the metal substrate, compromising the entire tank’s integrity. Fabricated polypropylene tanks, on the other hand, ensure complete cleanability and eliminate the risk of corrosion-related failures.
For tanks and pipes with rubber or elastomeric linings, which often necessitate multiple materials and incur higher costs, Dotmar's engineering plastics offer a single-material solution, streamlining production and reducing both labour and material expenses.
When considering tank construction methods, the distinction between roto-molded and fabricated tanks is crucial. Fabricated tanks offer superior quality, longevity, and chemical resistance compared to their roto-molded counterparts. The controlled manufacturing process allows for precise material application and customisation, ensuring optimal performance in demanding environments. Our commitment to meeting rigorous Australian and DVS standards and leveraging industry-accepted RITA design software ensures your solution is compliant.
Beyond tanks, Dotmar’s range of engineering plastics can be used in a number of different applications. For example, lined pipes, with materials like PTFE and fluoropolymers providing exceptional resistance to harsh conditions encountered in chemical processing.
