Is the IBC connector for pallet tanks with GW/GZ, polypropylene compatible with all IBC brands and thread types (DIN EN 12713 trapezoidal + BSP/BSPT)?

The IBC connector for pallet tanks with GW/GZ, polypropylene is designed to be compatible with IBC containers that use an internal trapezoidal thread conforming to DIN EN 12713 and with external BSP or BSPT threads. Made from polypropylene with an LDPE seal, it provides a secure, leak‑proof connection, suitable for a wide range of manufacturers and common thread types. Its compatibility covers systems that follow the specified DIN EN 12713 trapezoidal standard and BSP/BSPT external threads; it may not fit non‑standard or proprietary thread variants that deviate from these specifications. For guaranteed interchangeability, confirm the IBC’s thread type matches DIN EN 12713 trapezoidal (GW/GZ) or BSP/BSPT before installation.

Can the IBC connector for pallet tanks with GW/GZ, polypropylene be used with chemical-resistant seals or alternative gasket materials for aggressive media?

The IBC connector for pallet tanks with GW/GZ, polypropylene is supplied with an LDPE seal as standard. Polypropylene body plus LDPE seal provide good chemical resistance for many common liquids, but compatibility with aggressive media (strong acids, bases, solvents, oxidizers, hydrocarbons, etc.) depends on the exact chemicals, concentration and temperature. If you plan to use aggressive media, do not assume the standard LDPE gasket will suffice. Considerations: - LDPE has limited resistance to strong solvents, aromatics and some aggressive chemicals; it may swell, soften or degrade. - Polypropylene body is broadly chemical-resistant but not universally so at elevated temperature or pressure. - Operating range (-10 to +70 °C, temporarily +80 °C) and working pressure (up to 7 bar) affect seal performance with aggressive media. Recommended actions: - Check chemical compatibility charts for LDPE (and polypropylene) with the specific media, concentration and temperature. - For aggressive media, request or fit chemically resistant seals (e.g., EPDM, FKM/Viton, PTFE/lined gaskets) that are proven compatible with your fluid and operating conditions. - Consult the connector supplier or a materials specialist to confirm suitable alternative gasket materials and any installation or certification impacts. In summary: The IBC connector for pallet tanks with GW/GZ, polypropylene can be used with aggressive media only if you verify compatibility and, where necessary, replace the standard LDPE seal with an appropriate chemical-resistant gasket.
