Frequently Asked Questions Access Better Answers
- What are FRP Chemical Storage Tanks?
FRP chemical storage tanks are made from fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP), a material that combines fibreglass’s strength with plastic’s corrosion resistance. These tanks store a wide range of chemicals, like sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite and fluorosilicic acid.
They offer advanced corrosion resistance and a long service life, thanks to carefully selected resin systems. Their cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, and customisability make them ideal for a broad range of industries and required applications.
- What is the life expectancy of an FRP tank?
FRP tanks typically last 20 to 30 years or more, depending on the environment and maintenance.
Their corrosion-resistant properties, due to customised resin systems, ensure a long lifespan even in harsh chemical conditions. With minimal upkeep, FRP tanks provide an economical, durable storage solution for industries needing long-term chemical, water, or material storage.
- What is the difference between FRP and GRP water tanks?
FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) are similar but differ in composition. FRP uses fibreglass with a resin system for flexibility and durability, while GRP emphasises glass fibres.
Both offer excellent corrosion resistance, but FRP is more commonly chosen for chemically resistant applications. CSG’s FRP solutions are manufactured to withstand the toughest conditions and can be custom ordered for many configurations.
- What are the common use cases for FRP tanks and silos?
FRP tanks and silos are used in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, food and beverage storage, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.
Their customisable designs, corrosion resistance, and strength make them suitable for storing chemicals, liquids, and dry bulk materials. They are especially valued in environments requiring durable and safe storage solutions.
