Why composites:

The advantages of composites

• Lower costs of the plants and installations
• Lightweight, with a weight one fourth that of steel (P.S. GRP 1.7kg/dm3 compares with 7.8 kg/dm3 of steel)
• High resistance to corrosion of a great variety of chemical agents and temperatures exceeding 120C
• Longlasting, with less maintenence and thus less halts of the plants
• High mechanic resistance associated with low weight, with temperatures that vary between –40C and +220C
• Translucent material which permits the control of liquid level in the tank
• Electric isolation: thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.26 with consequent resistance to the galvanic corrosion and to underground drifting currents
• Can be combined with thermoplastic materials
• Easy repair in case of accidental breakage
• Qualified for food product
