RotoLoPerm® Offers Your Best Evaporative Emissions Solution
To Reach Marine Fuel Tank Compliance for Model Year 2012
RotoLoPerm®, the new multi-layer technology for plastic marine fuel tanks manufactured by INCA Molded Products in Nashville, Tennessee, is now available for your plastic marine fuel tank applications that must be compliant by Model Year 2012.
INCA Molded Products has an exclusive marine licensing agreement with Centro Inc. of North Liberty, Iowa, to produce marine fuel tanks using its new RotoLoPerm® multi-layer tank technology. RotoLoPerm® complies with Clean Air Act and Marine Fuel Tank Permeation regulations.
RotoLoPerm® Advantages
The RotoLoPerm® patent-pending XLPE/Barrier/XLPE combination technology developed by Centro in 2004 offers these advantages over the traditional plastic marine fuel tank, metal fuel tank, and other competing low permeation technologies:
- Ultra-low permeation levels
- Successfully passed standard marine Fire Test
- Excellent hot and low temperature impact strength properties
- Abrasion resistance
- Moldability
- Uses same rotomolding tooling with minor adjustments
- Overall wall thickness remains the same as current fuel tank design
- Cost-effective
- Retains the overall value of proven crosslink polyethylene fuel tank technology
INCA Molded Products customizes the application of RotoLoPerm® to the precise manufacturing specifications of each customer and has in-house engineering expertise to assist in developing the best design with special fittings for each marine fuel tank manufactured.
What is RotoLoPerm®?
The RotoLoPerm® technology uses a special barrier layer between inner and outer layers manufactured from crosslink polyethylene.
This material meets these standards for marine fuel tanks:
- EPA Evaporative Emissions standard
INCA has obtained the Certificate of Conformity from the EPA for RotoLoPerm® making it ready for immediate use. - CARB Executive Order

- U.S. Coast Guard and ABYC requirements
No additional permeation testing is needed for marine fuel tanks using RotoLoPerm®.
RotoLoPerm® Layers:
- Outer Layer — UV/abrasion resistance
- Middle Layer — Permeation resistance
- Inner Layer — Impact/moisture resistance
