Because of their high resistance to corrosive attack, fiberglass composites (often called FRP, for Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester) are the material of choice for many tanks and vessels where corrosion is a consideration. And composites – plural – certainly applies because with all the different resins and reinforcements available, the number of different laminate combinations is in the thousands! This flexibility allows FRP to be tailored to best match the particular needs of each asset, resulting in maximum performance and longest service life possible.
What does “maximum performance and longest service life” mean in your situation? No matter the definition, it all comes down to value; FRP tanks and vessels are often the best value when compared to other materials. Besides high resistance to corrosive attack, FRP offers design and complexity flexibility, easy maintenance and high durability at reasonable prices, making FRP low risk and high value.
FRP tanks and vessels are commonly used for corrosive substances such as:
Ferric Acid
Hydrochloric Acid
Phosphoric Acid
Sulfuric Acid
Other Caustic Substances
Brine
Waste water
Aluminum Sulfate (Alum)
Pepper Mash
And many more!
