Water Storage Tank in Johanasburg
GRP SECTIONAL WATER TANK
WHAT IS GRP WATER TANK ?
GRP water tanks, short for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic water tanks, stand as prominent fixtures in the industry and civil sectors for water storage. Their lightweight composition, stemming from the use of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, facilitates easy transportation and installation, setting them apart from heavier alternatives like steel. The structural integrity of these tanks is bolstered by the robust combination of a plastic matrix and glass fibers. Notably, their modular and sectional assembly, achieved through standardized panels, ensures adaptability to diverse spatial constraints and installation requirements.
FEATURES OF GRP WATER TANKS
- GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) offers simplicity and cleanliness in handling. It is non-adhesive, making it easy to work with. The material is compatible with high-temperature molds and can be molded under significant pressure using a hydraulic press. This process results in products characterized by smooth surfaces and high strength.
- GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) maintains a consistent length of glass fiber content, with 1-inch fibers contributing to uniform mechanical strength, high flexibility, and fluidity. The material's surface is smooth and elegant, streamlining the finishing process due to its excellent coating.
- GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) stands out in correcting deformities with features like ribs, bosses, and inserts, surpassing traditional RFP (Reinforced Fiber Plastic) applications. It excels in forming molds with varying thicknesses and boasts high mechanical strength.
