Ultem tanks

[monkkx]

Hi all,

little request to Imeo Imeo, I would love to hear you'll release ALL your tanks in Ultem.
I've lost already 2 tanks, even though I don't have any agressive liquids, and I feel like it's due to the natural degradation of the material currently used to make them.
I've lost a 23mm tilemahos but screwing the top cap a little bit too hard. But my main regret is the penelope v4 plastic tank that I've lost after using it a couple of times only ... it was taking the dust since several months, and I found out yesterday that it was all cracked, ready to fall in dust I'm not sure if it's the sun light, the heat (temp in summer here is above 50 celcius). But I'm ...... off to have lost this tank that you rarely make.
So yes, my request to you is to consider using ultem since it seems to be the best at the moment, even if it might be more expensive
Do you think you could do that ?

Also, due to the better stress resistance of ultem, you might make thinner penelope tanks, avoiding the wicking issues some had ...

I thought Ultem only comes in like three colors I think amber tan and green I am sure I am wrong my info may be very old and from memory , But I to tend to over tighten and ruin the threads on my clear tanks as well. We can always hope for new materials to solve our problems.

guys, first of all there is no reason to screw hard the plastic tanks. For example, the reffiling cap has to be screwed NOT hard at all because o-ring doesnt allow any leakage.

As for the material you mention, I will search for it because I dont know anything about it

Please do some search. It is not white color, but translucent anyway. Most important is that it provides better resistance to heat, chemicals and physical stress. It's also biocompatible and used in medecin

yes, I checked it Monk. I will search to find it and produce some tanks from this material.

I'd like to see a special-'one time only' run of pyrex/glass tanks with just Imeo's signature in gold, on them!

Your right but it happens some times it does not intentional at all but still it does. Thanks for looking into it and you never know it may be a winner.
