WHAT IS A FLEXITANK?
A Flexitank is a collapsible bulk liquid container made from polyethylene materials.

Dedicated Equipment
Our Flexitanks are new each load. This suits the product, thereby avoiding the risk of contamination, quality of the product throughout its journey.
Product Compatibility
Your product will only be shipped in our Flexitanks after carefully analyzing the product technical specifications and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). We may also sometimes need to test a sample of the product to ensure that there is no adverse reaction with the Flexitank material. The Flexitank chosen for your product will be determined by the compatibility test results and the Specific Gravity of the product. Only then can we offer you a flexitank type and capacity suited to your product which will give you the maximum payload.

We offer technical assistance every load. The Flexitank comes fitted with a 3” male cam lock connection with valve. coupling for filling and discharging.
