Why Engineered Water Storage Matters
Water storage is not simply about capacity. It is about:
- Structural strength under load
- UV resistance in harsh climates
- Compliance with Australian standards
- Long-term material stability
- Safe storage for potable water
Engineering decisions directly affect tank lifespan, performance, and safety. That is why our manufacturing process prioritises precision and compliance from raw material selection through to final inspection.
Our Manufacturing Approach
Rotational Moulding Technology
Nylex Tanks uses rotational moulding to produce seamless, one-piece polyethylene tanks. This process ensures:
- Uniform wall thickness
- Structural consistency
- No welded joins or weak seams
- Enhanced durability
Each tank is manufactured to maintain structural integrity even under full load.
UV-Stabilised Polyethylene
Australian conditions demand material resilience. Our tanks are manufactured using UV-stabilised polyethylene designed to resist degradation caused by prolonged sun exposure.
This ensures:
- Reduced brittleness over time
- Improved lifespan
- Consistent performance in high-temperature environments
Compliance and Standards
All Nylex Tanks are manufactured to meet relevant Australian standards for water storage applications.
Depending on tank type and application, compliance may include:
- AS/NZS 4020 (products in contact with drinking water)
- AS/NZS 2070 (plastics materials for food contact use)
- ISO-aligned quality systems within our manufacturing processes
These standards ensure tanks are suitable for potable and non-potable water storage when installed correctly.
