Characteristics of FRP Storage Tank

The fiberglass storage tank has the following characteristics.

1. Lightweight and strong

The relative density is between 1.5 and 2.0, only 1/4~1/5 of carbon steel, but the tensile strength is close to or even higher than that of carbon steel, and the specific strength can be compared with high-grade alloy steel. As a result, it has achieved excellent results in aerospace, rockets, spacecraft, high-pressure vessels, and other applications that require weight reduction. Some epoxy FRPs have tensile, bending and compressive strengths of more than 400 MPa.

2. Good corrosion resistance

High quality FRP is a good corrosion-resistant material with good resistance to atmospheric, water and general concentrations of acids, bases, salts and a variety of oils and solvents. It has been applied to all aspects of chemical corrosion protection and is replacing carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, non-ferrous metals and so on.

3. Good electrical performance

It is an excellent insulating material used to make insulators. Good dielectric properties are still protected at high frequencies. It has good microwave permeability and has been widely used in radomes.

4. Good designability

The material can be fully selected to meet the performance of the product, such as: can be designed to resist corrosion, resistant to transient high temperature, the product has a particularly high strength in a certain direction, good dielectric properties, and so on.
