As global industries increasingly demand corrosion-resistant, durable, and cost-effective storage systems, FRP tanks (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic tanks) have become a preferred solution for chemical storage, water storage, and industrial fluid containment.
FRP tanks are composite storage vessels manufactured using fiberglass reinforcement combined with thermosetting resins such as polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy. Through advanced manufacturing processes including filament winding and panel assembly molding, fiberglass tanks achieve excellent structural integrity and chemical resistance.
Unlike steel or concrete tanks that rely on surface coatings, the corrosion resistance of FRP tanks is inherent to the material structure itself, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
Fiberglass chemical tanks are resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and industrial wastewater, making them ideal for aggressive chemical environments where traditional metal tanks fail.
FRP water storage tanks typically provide a service life of 20–30 years. They do not rust, flake, or require frequent maintenance, significantly reducing lifecycle costs.
Compared with concrete or steel tanks, FRP tanks are lightweight while maintaining high tensile strength, enabling faster installation and reduced foundation requirements.
Fiberglass tanks can be customized in size, shape, capacity, and connection interfaces. Both vertical and horizontal configurations are available to meet project-specific requirements.
FRP water tanks are widely used in municipal water supply, fire protection systems, commercial buildings, and industrial process water storage. Their smooth inner surfaces help prevent contamination and algae growth.
Fiberglass chemical storage tanks are designed to safely store acids, alkalis, and industrial chemicals. Proper resin selection ensures long-term stability under highly corrosive conditions.
In wastewater treatment plants, FRP tanks are commonly used for chemical dosing tanks, sludge storage tanks, and equalization tanks due to their excellent resistance to hydrogen sulfide and corrosive byproducts.
