Röchling Industrial offers Polystone® CubX® – a solution for manufacturing rectangular tanks quickly, efficiently, and safely
Developed for chemical tank and plant construction
As an expert in tank construction, you know that even quite small rectangular tanks for storing chemical media normally require elaborate steel reinforcement. Cladding with plastic profiles, which have to be elaborately cut to size and welded, is required to protect the steel reinforcement against corrosion.
With Polystone® CubX®, Röchling has now developed a completely new tank construction sheet with an inner cube structure that allows for quicker and easier rectangular tank construction. The special feature is the sheet design, which combines very high longitudinal and transverse stiffness in the sheet itself. Polystone® CubX® consists internally of a homogeneous, rectangular (orthogonal) grid pattern, welded to two sheets on its outsides, which form the sheet surface. The result is an innovative construction sheet that combines light weight and ease of handling with very high longitudinal and transverse rigidity.
Product scale
- Polystone® P CubX®: on the basis of Polystone® P (PP) – tried-and-tested worldwide in the construction of rectangular and round tanks
- Polystone Polystone® PPs CubX®: on the basis of Polystone® PPs – for high-demanding areas of application
- Polystone® P CubX® PG-UV stabilized white: UV-stabilization for outdoor use
- Polystone® G CubX®: covering sheets made of Polystone® G (PE100 RC) with very good stress cracking resistance and UV resistance for outdoor use
Product properties
- High longitudinal and transversal stiffness
- High chemical resistance
- Light weight, easy handling
- Good thermal insulation
- Easy to weld by means of heating element butt welding, hot gas welding, extrusion welding
|
Internal grid construction: Polystone® P CubX® has a high isotropic stiffness with very low weight. Reduction of steel reinforcements up to 100% possible, the time savings in tank construction is enormous. |

Application areas
- Rectangular tank, for example, for galvanising plant, steel pickling plant, sewage technology, cleaning systems, purification systems, tank fittings
- Lids and partitions for round tanks
- Enclosures for ventilation systems
- Retrofitting and repair of rectangular tanks
- Additional significant potential in other applications outside the chemical industry including flood retention, fishery breeding tanks, swimming pool technology, etc.
Advantages of Polystone® CubX®
- 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 Polystone® PPs CubX® is especially suitable for sensitive applications with high fire protection requirements.
