- Color Selection: A variety of color options are available, and production can also be carried out according to customer-specified colors
Product Performance Advantages
Corrosion Resistance
Can withstand acid, alkali, salt and a variety of organic solvents Resistant to soil corrosion, suitable for underground or semi-underground installation Different resin systems (such as epoxy, vinyl, food grade, etc.) can be selected according to the storage medium
High Strength
High strength-to-weight ratio, the weight is only 1/4-1/5 of that of steel storage tanks Good impact resistance and seismic resistance No welding seams, integral molding, eliminating the risk of leakage
Long-term Durability
The service life can reach more than 20 years Good anti-aging performance, UV resistance (especially when there is a surface gel coat layer) Extremely low maintenance cost, basically no need for regular anti-corrosion treatment
Hygienic and environmental
Smooth inner wall, not easy to scale, easy to clean Non-toxic, in line with food-grade storage requirements Material can be recycled and has good environmental performance

Selection and Use Recommendations
Confirmation of media compatibility: Provide detailed storage medium information, including concentration, temperature and other parameters
Installation environment assessment: Consider factors such as installation location (indoor/outdoor/underground), support conditions, etc.
Accessory selection: Select appropriate accessories such as level gauges, thermometers, and breathing valves according to process requirements
Maintenance plan: Although maintenance requirements are low, it is still recommended to check the appearance and support structure regularly
