Fiberglass Acid and Alkali Storage Tanks

I. Overview of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic Storage Tanks

Fiberglass storage tanks are a type of fiberglass product, primarily made by wrapping a new composite material around a mold using glass fibers as the reinforcing agent and resin as the binder, all controlled by a microcomputer. These tanks offer corrosion resistance, high strength, lightweight, and long service life. Due to their flexibility in design and strong processability, they can be adapted for various industries such as chemicals and environmental protection, gradually replacing most of the market share of carbon steel and stainless steel.

Section 2: Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Storage Tank Classification

Fiberglass storage tanks can be categorized by form as vertical tanks, horizontal tanks: by size as standard tanks and field-wound large tanks: and by pressure as pressure tanks and vacuum tanks, etc.

Section 3: Characteristics of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic Storage Tanks

Lightweight and high-strength

Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) has a relative density between 1.5~2.0, which is only 1/4~1/5 of carbon steel, yet its tensile strength is close, and even exceeds that of carbon steel. Its specific strength can be compared to high-grade alloy steel.

(2) Excellent corrosion resistance

FRP is an excellent corrosion-resistant material, with strong resistance to atmospheric conditions, water, and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, as well as various oils and solvents. It has been applied in all aspects of chemical industry corrosion prevention.

(3) Excellent thermal performance

FRP has a low thermal conductivity, only 1/100 to 1/1000 of that of metal, making it an excellent thermal insulating material.

(4) Excellent workmanship

① We can flexibly select molding processes based on the product's shape, technical requirements, application, and quantity.

②Simple in process, capable of one-time molding, with significant economic benefits, especially for products with complex shapes, difficult to form, and in small quantities, its process superiority is even more pronounced.
