Don't Settle for Metal!

Features and Benefits of FRP versus Metal

«Competitive price with stainless steel, yet up to 5-10 times
   longer lasting in very corrosive environments
«No rust or need for painting or reclading
«Fewer problems relative to heat, stress, conductivity, and
   climate conditions
«Superior corrosion resistance in many applications vs. rubber
   lined and bare metal
«Lightweight - 33% lighter then aluminum, 75% lighter then steel
   - therefore easier to handle
«Recent resin improvements relative to heat, impact, and crack
   resistance are encouraging use of FRP vs. metal by major
   companies
«More skid (slip) resistant than metal
«Unsurpassed design freedom
«Non-conductive (prevents shorting out electrical equipment)
«Can also be ignition resistant with addition of brominated
   materials
«Good insulating material with reasonable thermal expansion
   properties
«Can be efficiently heat traced from bottom of tank
   (Plasta-Therm®)
«Properly formulated, FRP complies with FDA 177.2420
«No flammability concerns/hassles with welding
«Does not leave trace metal contamination in antiperspirants,
   shampoos, etc...
«Adhesive strength and elongation of resins can help absorb
   equipment vibration
