Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Storage Tank Performance Features

Physical Properties: The specific gravity of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) is typically 1.8-2.1, which is 1/4 to 1/5 of steel, and its specific strength is higher than that of steel, cast iron, and plastic. The coefficient of thermal expansion of GFRP is roughly equivalent to that of steel, while its thermal conductivity is only 0.5% of steel's.

Fiberglass storage tanks feature the following characteristics:

1. Lightweight and High-Strength: With a relative density between 1.5~2.0, it is only 1/4~1/5 of carbon steel, yet its tensile strength is close to, and even exceeds, carbon steel. Its specific strength can rival that of high-grade alloy steel.

2. Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Offers good resistance to atmospheric conditions, water, and various concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, as well as multiple types of oils and solvents.

3. Excellent electrical properties: Suitable for manufacturing insulators.

4. Excellent thermal properties: The thermal conductivity of fiberglass is low, at 1.25~1.67 kJ/(m·h·K) at room temperature, which is only 1/100~1/1000 of that of metal, making it an excellent insulating material.

5. Excellent Processability: Can flexibly choose molding processes based on product shape, technical requirements, and application; simple process, capable of one-time molding, with outstanding economic benefits.
