 | 1. F.R.P. - Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic has long been recognized
throughout the chemical process industry as an engineering material that
successfully combats corrosion. |
| 2. Rugged Design - All tanks are designed to the latest standards of ASTM,
SPI, AWWA and NBS 15-69 |
| 3. Light Weight - Reinforced plastics weigh approximately 75% less than
carbon steel. This weight factor makes plastic tanks east to erect or
install. |
|
4. Flexibility In Design
- Corrosion Companies makes equipment in standard diameters on molds
for one piece construction and also in modular sections for easy field
erection.
|
| 5. Fire Proof - Resins are available that are rated non-burning where
required. |
| 6. Food Processors - Plastic tanks can be made using F.D.A. approved
resins. The smooth interior will not impart taste. Tanks can be disinfected
with normal solutions and steam cleaned. |
| 7. Low Maintenance - Due to the fact that they are 100% fiberglass and
resistant to ultra violet rays, F.R.P tanks are virtually maintenance
free. (Periodic inspections are suggested) |
| 8. Dura-Wound Filament Wound Equipment - Filament winding is an automatic
process that winds continuous fiberglass filaments and resin onto tank
mandrels with a predetermined pattern and helical angle. Glass
filaments have one of the highest specific tensile strengths of any
available construction material. Unlike metals, glass filaments have
no yield point. They exhibit perfectly elastic behavior from no load to
rupture, therefore providing you with long lasting life expectancy. |
