FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) is the best choice of material for the erection of piping systems, cooling tower panel, chemical storage tanks, and other types of industrial process apparatus.

 
FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) is the best choice of material for the erection of piping systems, cooling tower panel, chemical storage tanks, and other types of industrial process apparatus. The FRP material is highly preferred than several traditional materials like steel, wood, iron etc. due to its amazing features. It is corrosion resistant, requires minimum maintenance and has the long shelf life. The well-engineered FRP equipment promises the high-quality and fast installation.

Fundamentally, FRP material made up of fiberglass and thermosetting resins. These two are the key ingredients of FRP material. The resin offers the chemical and environmental resistance to the product and in the structural laminate, it acts as the binder for the glass fiber. Depending on the environmental and chemical conditions (as provided by the customer or user), the particular type of resin is selected. Most commonly, FRP product is constructed with three types of laminates:

- Corrosion barrier: Brings the temperature resistance and chemical resistance.
- Topcoat: Offers the ecological and temperature resistance.
- Structural laminate: Provides the temperature resistance.

Each kind of laminate has its particular function, thereby for each laminate, a unique type of resin could be picked to manufacture the product. There are mainly three types of resin; vinyl ester, polyester, and epoxy. In addition to this, depending on the application and processes of the final product, the specific type of glass is selected. It is very important to select the right resins, best winding processes and glass fiber components to ensure the quality of the materials and for this selecting the right FRP manufacturer is crucial.

Most of the FRP products, such as duct systems, storage tanks, FRP cooling tower panel, chimney liners, spray headers and piping systems are cylindrical in shape. However, the benefits of choosing the FRP material for construction than other material are endless as regards capacity for combination with other materials, thickness, the mix of materials, lightweight, smooth surfaces, available in different shades, long-life, corrosion-resistant and possesses good insulation properties.

FRP Cooling Tower Panel

The cooling tower is a cylindrical tower that aids in reducing heat produced during a manufacturing process. FRP cooling tower is either installed to reject heat during the process or reduce the working fluid of the procedure. The water cooling tower manufacturers opt to manufacture the towers with fiberglass because it offers great resistivity and longevity. A few years back, the cooling towers were constructed using materials such as concrete, steel, redwood, steel etc. but these days, FRP has become the top choice for the erection of the cooling towers because of certain features. It is cost-effective and needs less maintenance than reinforced concrete, which is still in use for huge structures.

FRP cooling towers are mainly used in the automotive, aerospace, marine, chemical and construction industries. The expert water cooling towers manufacturing companies make the proper use of the essential components during the construction of the cooling tower. This leads to the high-quality production of the material giving priority to the security of the manpower and the property.
