One of the main problems faced by process industries as well as many other industries is corrosion of metal due to a corrosive chemical environment.

Wherever metals are the basic material of construction, they are susceptible to chemical attack and the resulting corrosion eventually causes failure of the unit whether it be equipment, machinery or storage and transport containers/vessels.

In many cases, special alloys have been used to overcome corrosion problems. However the use of special alloys are high cost options making it prohibitive for use.

The urgent need for the chemical industry therefore, is to use alternate material that would ensure:

-Resistance to Chemical attack

-Long Service life

-Affordable Cost

-Low Maintenance and easy repair

The answer to Corrosion

Over the past few years, FRP has emerged as a highly viable material of choice. It’s resistance properties against a vast array of chemicals, makes it an ideal material of construction for a wide range of use in chemical environments.

A few of the advantages of FRP:

-Resistance to chemical attack

-Lightweight and attractive appealing aesthetics

-Fire resistant, if required

-Ability to withstand high temperature
