We need to mix Boric Acid powder with 3% boric acid and 37% sodium sulfate, and need to keep the solution warm at around 130F. I have been searching for storage tanks and found out carbon steel is not a compatible material when storing boric acid. It was recommended to do tank lining. Does anyone know what the lining material should be to withstand the heat? Thank you!

How big must the tank be ??

Will there be mixing in the tank ( i.e. must the tank support a mixer ??)

130F is not out of the range for FRP....

Can you do multiple FRP tanks ???
