Secondary containment systems handle chemical compatibility issues by using materials that are resistant or non-reactive to the specific chemicals being stored or handled, such as polyethylene. HPDE/RPE liners are commonly used in secondary containment systems because they are compatible with a wide range of chemicals, acids, and fluids.
These liners are engineered to be impermeable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that they can effectively contain leaks or spills without being degraded by the stored substances. Secondary containment systems may incorporate features such as steel barriers, which are also resistant to chemical corrosion.
