Collapsible Tank Contact Times

The contact time for a collapsible tank is designed to specify the moment in time in which the fabric used for your tank may start to change based on the weathering and storage process. It is not intended to be used as a life span for your tank. Tanks have often lasted well beyond their contact time.

Standard fabrics used for these tanks typically fall into one of three contact times:

  • 1 year
  • 3 to 5 years
  • 7 years

A contact time will usually be provided based on the thickness of the tank fabric. Thicker fabrics are often used for long-term storage requirements, demanding conditions, or DOD specifications.
