CubX®

Polystone® CubX®
Fast, safe and efficient rectangular tank construction
Finally, some good news for tank builders: The tank construction sheet Polystone® CubX® featuring a unique inner cube structure for outstanding stiffness properties. Potential steel reinforcement reductions of up to 100%. The time saving in tank construction is enormous.

Materials
Polystone® P CubX®: Polystone® P (PP), tried-and-tested for decades worldwide in the construction of rectangular and round tanksPolystone® PPs CubX®: Polystone® PPs, flame retardant (B1)
for sensitive areas of applicationPolystone® P CubX® PG-UV stabilized white: UV-resistant for outdoor usePolystone® G CubX®: Covering sheets made of Polystone® G (PE100 RC) with very good stress cracking resistance and UV resistance for outdoor use

Characteristics
High longitudinal and transversal stiffnessHigh chemical resistanceLight weight, easy handlingGood thermal insulationEasy to weld by means of heating element butt welding, hot gas welding, extrusion welding

Application areas
Rectangular tank, for example, for galvanising plant, steel pickling plant, sewage technology, cleaning systems, purification systems, tank fittingsLids and partitions for round tanksEnclosures for ventilation systemsRetrofitting and repair of rectangular tanksAdditional significant potential in other applications outside the chemical industry including flood retention, fishery breeding tanks, swimming pool technology, etc.

Reduction of steel reinforcements
Depending on the size of the tank, rectangular tanks made of Polystone® P CubX® require less or even no plastic-coated steel reinforcements due to the high rigidity of the sheet. This significantly reduces the number of necessary welds and saves time and resources.

Easy handling
Tests in our in-house material laboratory show: A Polystone® P CubX® sheet with a thickness of 57 mm has the same stiffness as a solid plastic sheet made of PP with a thickness of 35 mm, but weighs only half as much. This simplifies the handling of the sheets. Also ideal for tank repairs and retrofits.

High level of process safety
Polystone® P CubX® increases the process reliability of your rectangular tank when compared to solid plastic sheets. If leakage occurs, the leaking fluid accumulates locally and is limited in the interior of the sheet. The operator thus has more time to take appropriate measures. For leakage monitoring, Polystone® P CubX® sheets are already equipped with a recess as standard, which forms a cavity in the finished tank for interior monitoring, by wire for example. It can also be used as a collecting channel for external optical monitoring.

Thermal insulation
Polystone® P CubX® offers good thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the hollow chambers. Elaborate and costly insulation work can be reduced or saved.

Flame retardant
The flame retardant version (B1) Polystone® PPs CubX® is especially suitable for sensitive applications with high fire protection requirements.
