‘With over 40 years of experience’
Flexitanks are an ideal cost effective way to ship most non-hazardous / non-toxic
bulk liquid products, including foodstuffs, industrial oils and chemicals, natural
and synthetic liquids.
Simple and convenient, Flexitanks offer a complete advantage over traditional shipping
methods including Drums, IBC’s and in some cases parcel tankers.
One trip disposable Flexitanks offer a Food Grade virgin quality, contamination free, strong
and reliable system made entirely from recyclable materials.
With over 40 years of experience in bulk transportation solutions, and an ever growing
network of worldwide partners, who also offer operational and technical support, you can
trust your product in a Philton Flexitank.
Philton have two manufacturing facilities, based in Essex UK and Shanghai PRC. Both plants
benefit from innovative and leading edge manufacturing technology as well as first class
testing facilities.
Both plants were amongst the first to develop and register their quality standards under the
ISO Q.A. certification scheme with the UK plant becoming accredited to ISO9001 in 1989.
Philton is an inaugural member of the Container Owner’s Association (COA) Flexitank
working group since its inception in June 2007 which was set up to promote best practise
within the Flexitank industry.
Philton’s flexitanks have also undergone testing at both the TÜV Gorlitz crash centre in
Germany (result held by the COA for access by shipping line members) test report no.
CFRT0004 and China Railways test without any leakage. This record is confirmed as many
of the world’s leading Food and Chemical companies have approved and request Philton
flexitanks to ship their products.

Philton Flexitanks can be recycled and it is our recommendation that these single trip
Flexitanks are disposed of in an environmentally and socially acceptable manner, by either

effects), or by recycling by an approved recycling contractor to make downstream products.
The materials can also be incinerated thereby giving a valuable form of energy.
