Flexitank Shipping: The Smart, Cost-Effective Solution for Bulk Liquids

At STE Oil, we are committed to providing our clients with the most efficient and economical logistics solutions. That’s why we specialize in Flexitank shipping for white mineral oil and other customized base oils and additives. This innovative method transforms bulk liquid transport, allowing you to leverage lower costs, reduce your environmental impact, and benefit from seamless door-to-door delivery anywhere in the world.

FGN International Shipping ContainerWhy Flexitanks are the Superior Choice for Non-Hazardous Liquids

Flexitanks represent a revolutionary leap forward from traditional methods like ISO tanks, drums, and IBC totes. A Flexitank is a large, durable bladder constructed from multiple layers of food-grade polyethylene and polypropylene, designed to fit precisely inside a standard 20-foot shipping container. This design maximizes payload, allowing you to transport up to 24,000 liters (approximately 20 tons) of liquid in a single container. By converting a standard container into a bulk liquid carrier, you eliminate the need for expensive specialized equipment and drastically reduce handling, packaging, and overall logistics costs.

Unmatched Safety, Purity, and Reliability

The integrity of your product is our top priority. Our Flexitanks are engineered for maximum safety and purity:

  • Zero Contamination Risk: Each Flexitank is single-use and disposable, guaranteeing there is absolutely no risk of cross-contamination between shipments and preserving the pristine quality of your white mineral oil.
  • Robust Multi-Layer Construction: We use only the highest quality Flexitanks, featuring an innovative “bag-in-a-bag” design. This includes an extra-heavy, tubular blown PE film inner bladder for consistency, protected by a best-in-market polypropylene cloth outer layer for superior strength and tear resistance.
  • Industry-Leading Valves: The discharge valve is a critical component. Our Flexitanks feature the best valve on the market, constructed from carbon fiber and fiberglass for the strength of steel. The single-unit, integrated valve and compression seal is bolted to the bag—a far superior method to lower-quality heat welds. Available in both butterfly and ball valve options, it includes a double locking feature for extra security and a unique air venting system for safe and efficient operations.
  • Certified Quality and Insured: Our partners manufacture Flexitanks to stringent ISO 9000 standards and are COA certified, AAR tested, and Lloyd’s registered. For your complete peace of mind, they are backed by $5 million in manufacturer’s liability insurance.

An Environmentally Responsible Choice

Choosing Flexitanks is a powerful step toward a more sustainable supply chain. They are a remarkable eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging. Because a single Flexitank can replace up to 20 drums, you significantly reduce packaging waste. Furthermore, their ability to maximize payload and minimize weight lowers emissions per unit of transported liquid, helping to shrink your company’s overall carbon footprint. Once emptied, the Flexitank materials are 100% recyclable, completing a responsible lifecycle.
