In industrial facilities, swimming pools, and specialized production plants, ventilation systems must withstand corrosive gases, chemicals, and high operating demands. At Plastic Tank Systems inc., we design and supply plastic ventilation systems made from advanced thermoplastics such as PPs, PP-EL-s, HDPE, and PVDF. These materials provide superior resistance to corrosion, fire safety, and static dissipation compared to traditional metal systems.
PPs (Low-Flammability Polypropylene)Â is commonly used in ventilation and exhaust air piping for industrial plants and buildings.
– Classified as B1 (DIN 4102)Â due to added flame retardants.
– Resistant to corrosion in air and gas systems.
– More durable and reliable than conventional metal ducts.
Â
By reducing fire risk and extending service life, PPs is a trusted solution for industrial ventilation.
In environments with potential explosive atmospheres, static charges from liquids or dust must be safely discharged.
– PP-EL-s (Electrically Conductive Polypropylene) is designed for ATEX-relevant applications.
– Conductive properties prevent electrostatic buildup.
– Provides safe, reliable ventilation in facilities handling flammable or explosive substances.
Worldwide, acids and bases are transported in large volumes. Traditional stainless steel containers are heavy, costly, and prone to corrosion. A better alternative is fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) containers lined with PE 100, ECTFE, or PFA.
Advantages:
– Up to 1,600 kg lighter than steel → higher load capacity.
– Excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals.
– Faster, easier cleaning → reduced water and cleaning agent usage, lower contamination risk.
Â
These properties make FRP-lined containers ideal for transporting both aggressive chemicals and high-purity media.
Swimming pools and spa centers use chlorine to keep water safe, but chlorine-rich air is highly corrosive to metals. Plastic ventilation offers the ideal solution:
– Resistant to chlorine-induced corrosion.
– Easy to clean and maintain.
– Long-lasting, low-maintenance performance.
Â
Plastic ventilation is now the standard choice for pools and spas where air quality and system durability are critical.
Anodizing and powder-coating facilities require ventilation systems that withstand aggressive chemicals.
– Materials used: HDPE, PP, and PVDF.
– Applications include piping, basins, tanks, control lines, and ventilation ducts & scrubbers
– Chemical Resistance:
– Acids such as HCl, Hâ‚‚SOâ‚„, HNO₃, CrO₃, H₃POâ‚„, and HF.
– Salt solutions (e.g., 5% NaCl) and nitric acid (20% HNO₃) at ~50 °C.
Exhaust air and oily wastewater systems operating at 10–30 °C and pressures up to 9 bar.

Plastic ventilation plays a critical role in supporting surface treatment and finishing:
– Electrolysis (Anodizing):Â Sulfuric or oxalic acid transforms metal surfaces into durable aluminum oxide layers.
– Powder Coating: Electrostatic lacquer is applied to aluminum profiles, then cured for a smooth, hard-wearing finish.
Â
Plastic ventilation ensures these processes run safely and efficiently, protecting equipment, reducing maintenance, and extending system life.
