Monday, March 4, 2024

Rotomolded fuel tanks made of acetal, produced via Gemstar Manufacturing’s Robomold® robotic rotomolding technology, have been identified as a highly viable alternative to fluorinated fuel tanks in the wake of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision to halt the production of fluorinated coatings for HDPE containers due to PFAS contamination.

Key Points: 
  • Rotomolded fuel tanks made of acetal, produced via Gemstar Manufacturing’s Robomold® robotic rotomolding technology, have been identified as a highly viable alternative to fluorinated fuel tanks in the wake of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision to halt the production of fluorinated coatings for HDPE containers due to PFAS contamination.
  • As a fluorination-free solution, Gemstar has commercialized several EPA-certified acetal fuel tanks made with its unique Robomold® robotic rotomolding process.
  • Rotomolded acetal fuel tanks provide single-layer barrier protection that meets EPA requirements in comparison to injection molded HDPE tanks that require fluorination.
  • Acetal has previously been used in injection molded fuel tanks but material suppliers have now developed new rotomolding grades that incorporate additive packages that raise the heat performance.
