EPA/CARB Compliant Fuel Tanks (RotoLoPerm®)
Centro leads the industry in the development of innovative process solutions and cost effective material selections for rotational molding.
As a recent example,
Centro invented RotoLoPerm®, a patented product to address recent environmental regulations.
Centro’s innovation was recognized when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified RotoLoPerm® for use in fuel tanks to meet regulations for reduced evaporative emissions.
RotoLoPerm® Components
- RotoLoPerm® is a proprietary, patented (U.S. Pat No 8,597,747) solution developed by Centro specifically for fuel tanks to comply with the regulatory fuel permeation requirements.
- RotoLoPerm® is a multi-layer solution that combines the reliability and performance of cross-linked polyethylene with a barrier layer for control of hydrocarbon (VOC) emission.
- RotoLoPerm® performed exceptionally well under the stringent permeation testing using CE10 fuel. The measured permeation rate of RotoLoPerm® was significantly lower than the EPA’s allowable limit of 1.5g/m²/day when tested at 28° C.
RotoLoPerm® Advantages
- EPA certified material for use in fuel tanks to meet evaporative emission requirements.
- Utilizes the long & proven history of cross-linked polyethylene.
- Outstanding low-temperature impact strength!
- Excellent UV and abrasion resistance.
- Utilizes the design flexibility of rotational molding.
- Existing tooling can be utilized with minor adjustments.
- Cost effective!
