GRP - versatile use!
Chemical industry relies on GRP
There is no doubt about it! A stainless, extremely impact-resistant, chemical- and temperature-sensitive, easy-to-process and at the same time very light material convinces. Due to its outstanding properties, the GRP material is suitable for almost every field of application. Its highest load-bearing capacity and enormous durability, in combination with its low weight, quite simply makes glass-fibre reinforced plastic the material of our time. In addition, GRP is comparatively easy to install and leads to hardly any maintenance costs. It is not without reason that GRP has long since outstripped classic materials in many areas of application – especially in the chemical industry.
In recent years, the chemical industry has increasingly relied on the GRP material. This is not surprising, since glass-fibre reinforced plastic combines a multitude of positive properties. It is as hard as steel, but does not rust. It is precisely the high resistance to acids and the fact that GRP is corrosion-free that makes the plastic a sought-after material in the manufacture of production plants, apparatus linings, tanks or other containers and pipe systems. In addition, GRP is characterised by low maintenance expenditure and a long service life. Another advantage of GRP: in series production, the material generates comparatively low costs. It is hard to imagine the chemical industry without GRP.
The percentage of GRP components in plant engineering has also been increasing continuously for years. Steel, which was the material of choice in the past, has now been replaced by rust-proof GRP. Its low weight and unlimited variety of shapes makes GRP an interesting material for the construction of industrial plants. GRP offers our engineers almost unlimited possibilities in planning. Whether chemical tanks, containers, pipe systems or apparatus linings, GRP systems are easy to install and have an impressively long service life with low maintenance costs.
Pollutants such as dust, greases, gases and various emulsions pollute the room air during production. GRP pipes are non-sensitive to heat, flue gases and chemical substances and ensure that contaminated air is safely removed in large industrial exhaust air systems. They are also characterised by their versatility and long service life.
