Glass Reinforced Plastic tanks and PE Tanks

GRP Tanks – Robust, corrosion-resistant and versatile

GRP tanks (glass reinforced plastic) provide an excellent solution for industrial applications where high corrosion resistance, strength, and lightweight construction are required. The combination of glass fibers and plastics ensures exceptional resistance to many chemical substances and aggressive media such as liquid fertilizers. The smooth, pore-free surface prevents deposits and facilitates cleaning, making the tanks especially suitable for hygienic processes.

In this article, you will learn more about the advantages of GRP tanks, their specific properties, and their applications in various industries.

What are GRP Tanks?

GRP Tanks are made from a robust combination of glass fibers and plastics, known for their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. These tanks are ideal for storing and transporting liquid and solid materials, particularly in areas where aggressive media like liquid fertilizers are used.

The combination of mechanical stability and chemical resistance makes GRP tanks a reliable choice for demanding applications.

Key features of GRP tanks:

• Light and stable: GRP tanks offer high strength while remaining lightweight.
• Corrosion resistance: Especially resistant to many chemicals and aggressive liquids such as liquid fertilizers.
• Smooth, pore-free surface: Facilitates cleaning and prevents deposits.
• Long lifespan: High resistance to mechanical wear and corrosion.
• Hygienic properties: Ideal for applications that require high cleanliness and hygiene, such as in agriculture.

Differences to other materials

Compared to stainless steel or aluminum tanks, GRP tanks offer a particularly advantageous combination of low weight and excellent corrosion resistance. GRP tanks remain resistant in many aggressive environments and provide long-term protection for the stored materials.

Key Features of GRP Tanks

GRP tanks offer numerous benefits for industrial applications. Here are some of the key features:

1. Corrosion resistance

The high-quality GRP coating provides excellent resistance to:

• Chemicals: Resistant to many aggressive substances, including liquid fertilizers and other chemical liquids.
• Moisture and environmental influences: Particularly resistant to rust and corrosion, even in damp environments.

2. Hygiene & cleaning

Thanks to the smooth surface, GRP tanks meet the highest hygiene standards. They prevent deposits and are easy to clean, making them particularly suitable for agricultural applications.

3. Temperature and pressure resistance

GRP tanks are suitable for use at high temperatures and various pressure conditions. They retain their structure even under thermal stresses.

4. Mechanical stability

The combination of glass fibers and plastics ensures high mechanical strength, making GRP tanks particularly durable and robust against external influences.

Applications of GRP Tanks

GRP tanks are used in a variety of industries, including:

1. Agriculture and Agro-industry

Due to their corrosion resistance, GRP tanks are ideal for storing and transporting liquid fertilizers and other agricultural liquids.

2. Chemical Industry

GRP tanks are perfectly suited for storing and transporting chemicals due to their resistance to aggressive substances.
