Introduction
3. Characteristics of FRP
• Little to no maintenance is required
• A long product life span, up to 50 years
• High-performance insulation
• Abrasion and corrosion resistant
• Lightweight (1.8 g/cm3)
• High Chemical Resistance
• Delivery time
• GRP replaces expensive alloys like Hastelloy, Super Duplex, Ni, as well
as steel rubber lined components.
• Able to work with temperature limits of approximately – 50°C to 125°C
4. Fire retardance
• Fire retardant resins are tested according the ASTM E 84 (Steiner tunnel test) and
have class 1 flame rating of 25 or less.
• Normal FRP is classified as : DIN 4102 B2 and ASTM E84 class 2
• Bigger wall thickness and 9 x higher heat transfer factor means that the liquid will
not heat up as fast in a steel tank and it will take much more time that the liquid
will start to boil. Boiling liquid is a major problem during an inferno.
• Because of the thicker wall and higher safety
factor (7-10 in case of FRP and 1,5 -2 to steel)
a FRP tank will stay longer.
• The mechanical properties of steel reduces
fast above the 260 °C. ( SS -40% at 260 °C).
The tank will have a uncontrolled collapse.
5. What to store
Fiberglass Components are corrosion and
chemical resistant, so that you can store
different types of (aggressive) fluids such
as:
- Flue gases
- Lime slurry
- Water
- Caustic Solutions
- Hydrochloric Acid
- Sulphur Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Acid solutions
- Other Acids
- Brines
- Salt solutions
- Chlorides
- Caustic Liquides
- Fuels
- Fertilizers
- Starch solutions
- Vegetable oils

17. PRODUCTION
Variable mould
Step-less variation of mould diameter
- 1 mould for 4 – 7,5 m
- 1 mould for 7 – 12,5 m
- 1 mould for 12 – 21 m
Mould diameter can be changed within a day
No (new) mould investment for each product
Economical advantage for projects that require a wide
variety of (large diameter) products i.e. tanks
