Overview
FRP, has become an increasingly popular choice for use in chemical storage tanks. This material boasts many advantages over traditional metal tanks, including excellent chemical resistance, extreme durability, and a huge range of sizes and shapes.
Because of these benefits, more and more companies are turning to FRP for the containment of potentially hazardous chemicals. Additionally, since these tanks are lightweight and easy to install and maintain, they have become a very cost-effective option for many businesses.

Raw materials
- Selection of resins will provide the physical and chemical properties. Vinylester resin is usually designed and recommended for chemical storage tanks. It is suitable for chemical and chemical storage tanks.
- Extra Co tanks are subject to quality control testing/inspection and thorough checks as per inspection test plan. All incoming raw materials and finished products are inspected and tested in accordance with international standards in line with the inspection test plan.
Manufacturing process
- Shell: The Shell is produced by Filament Winding process.
- Tank ribs: The tanks construction shall include stiffener ribs to provide sufficient stiffness and rigidity to the tank.
- End caps: The end caps are fabricated by contact moulding process.
- Assembly: The shell and end caps are then joined together by alternate layers of CSM and woven roving impregnated with resin.
