Structural Composites

CATEGORY OVERVIEW

Europe and United States have been using composites in building applications for years. For example, they are used in bridges, utility poles, chemical dosing tanks, FRP chilled water tank applications, FRP hot water tank applications, fire water tank applications, buildings, hand rails, and a variety of situations. However, the Australian market have not taken full advantage of composites. We at Chemstore Group understand the need for materials like FRP structural composites and are there to provide the Australian market with high quality composites that are a viable alternative to steel and timber. When you create a composite you use two different materials and make them into one stronger material. For example, FRP structural composite glass fibres (the reinforcing phase) are imbedded into another material (the matrix phase). In this way, you receive the incredible strength of one phase combined with the corrosion resistant properties of the other phase. This gives you a material that is superior to base materials like timber or steel.

Frequently Asked Questions Access Better Answers

  • What are FRP chemical storage tanks?

    FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) chemical storage tanks are durable, corrosion-resistant tanks manufactured to safely store a broad range of chemicals and liquids. Designed to meet Australian standards, FRP tanks are suitable for diverse industrial applications, including manufacturing, mining, and fuel storage.

    Their lightweight yet sturdy construction provides businesses with a cost-effective solution that reduces the risk of corrosion. FRP tanks are commonly used across various markets, offering excellent service for operations requiring secure and quality storage. Available in a broad range of sizes, these tanks can be customised with additional accessories to meet specific requirements.

  • What is a self-bunded tank?

    A self-bunded tank is a double-walled storage tank designed for safe containment of liquids, such as fuel, oil, and chemicals, offering extra protection against leaks. Self-bunded tanks are highly suitable for clients in industries where secure liquid storage is critical, including mining and transport.

    These tanks are a convenient, cost-effective choice, built to withstand environmental risks and minimise corrosion. With in-built safety features, self-bunded tanks meet stringent standards, ensuring a durable and efficient solution for businesses requiring quality liquid storage across various sites and markets.

  • Do fibreglass tanks need to have protection from corrosion?

    Fibreglass tanks, or FRP tanks, are inherently corrosion-resistant due to their non-metallic construction, which protects against rust and environmental degradation. While FRP tanks offer natural protection from corrosion, additional protective measures, such as specific coatings or tank fittings, can be applied to further safeguard against risks in harsher environments.

    These tanks are ideal for businesses needing reliable and secure storage of chemicals, water, or other liquids, and they meet Australian standards for quality and durability. With minimal maintenance requirements, FRP tanks provide a cost-effective, long-lasting solution across various projects and industries.
