Are Duxberry tanks antifreeze-compatible?
questionactivep2
The team discussed using Duxberry Trading / Tank Depot plastic tanks for roof water collection, but it is unknown whether the plastic is compatible with antifreeze solutions.
The Oct 14 meeting identified Duxberry Trading / Tank Depot plastic tubing arrays as a promising option for roof water collection systems in passive thermal installations. However, freeze protection in cold climates may require antifreeze solutions, and the material compatibility of these tanks with common antifreeze (propylene glycol, etc.) is unknown. If the plastic degrades or leaches with antifreeze, the team would need a different freeze-protection strategy.
Next action: contact Duxberry Trading for material specs and antifreeze compatibility data; check product data sheets for chemical resistance ratings.
