Brief Analysis on the Anti-aging Performance of FRP Storage Tanks
Jul 10,2024

The FRP tank has the unique characteristics of acid and alkali resistance due to the excellent corrosion resistance of its own body material polymer polyester. The aging resistance of FRP tanks is related to the function of the body material, as well as the molding technology of FRP tanks and the anti-ultraviolet resin in the outermost layer.
The unsaturated resin of the FRP tank body material is polymerized by unsaturated peptide bonds, and the acid, alkali and aging resistance is directly related to the strength of the peptide bonds. Therefore, for different media, it is necessary to use different resins in the inner layer of the tank. Different resins have different aging resistance, which directly determines the service life of FRP tanks.
Between feeding and discharging, FRP tanks have a cycle of compression and decompression. Under long-term action, fatigue will gradually occur until the whole is damaged. This is the aging process of FRP tanks. The speed of the aging process is related to the manufacturing technology. The Guangzhou Gupeptide FRP tank production line is made of alkali-free FRP fiber filaments that are completely surrounded. From the inside to the outside, FRP fibers are continuously formed. Compared with the hand-laid fiberglass tank with a layer of felt and then a layer of cloth, the fiberglass tank surrounded by glass fiber has an unparalleled strength advantage, and naturally the anti-aging function is greatly improved compared with the hand-laid fiberglass tank.
Finally, the anti-aging treatment of the surface layer of the fiberglass tank is also quite important. Years of experience have shown that we use resin plus anti-ultraviolet absorber coating on the outermost layer of the tank, which plays an outstanding anti-aging role.
Although the above-mentioned operating techniques cannot completely resist the aging of the fiberglass tank, they play a real role in delaying the aging of the fiberglass tank.
