OUR PRODUCTS

Our fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) or Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes and fittings are designed and made to BS7159. Pipe thickness fabricated according to this code is generally thicker than those ASTM codes such as ASTM D2996 and ASTM D3517.

All pipes and fittings have 2mm thick minimum corrosion barrier. Also, based on the type of medium running inside the pipe, we will customize the corrosion barrier both in terms of thickness and type of material for every application. We can produce dual laminate pipe and fittings if thermoplastic liner is required for cases where fiberglass liner is not resistant to the chemical.

Additionally, all standard pipes and fittings are coated with grey pigmented topcoat with UV absorber added into it to protect the pipe and fittings against ultra-violet rays. In cases when UV protection and accurate color coding of pipes and fittings is impossible , we have the flexibility of using polyurethane paint.

Our pipes are used to convey mostly the corrosive medium as they are all custom designed and made to meet specific requirement and conditions, unlike the standard commodity pipe.

The FRP Series is a state-of-the-art basket strainer system that is chemically tolerant of most industrial and process chemicals. It is commonly used in corrosive chemicals inline pipe or as a pump strainer. These strainers can dramatically improve protection of corrosive system components such as pumps and heat exchanges.

Port configurations include the standard inline design, as well as offset, angled offset, and boot configurations if required. The FRP’s unique five-part construction delivers the finest in chemical, abrasion, and impact resistance:

  • Two Chemical Barriers: Nominal thickness 10 mils of Nexus veil, resin to 10% reinforcement. (Layers 1 & 4)​
  • Anti-wicking barrier: 100 mil of chopped strand glass, 75% resin to 25% reinforcement. (Layer 2)
  • Structural Layer: Filament wound continuous roving, wind angle 55 deg: 30% resin to 70% reinforcement. (Layer 3)
  • Exterior Protection: Polyester resins gel coating. 10-mil thickness. (Layer 5)

All of our strainers are available in duplex configuration, which includes the option is to purchase a duplex assembly minus the isolation valves. See our Duplex Strainers for more information.

The FRP Lining and Coating that we manufacture is used extensively in industries for various purposes. FRP has several properties that make it suitable for the adverse and hostile conditions of an industrial environment: non corrosive, weather proof, fire retardant and impact resistant. FRP is also chemical resistant (free from environmental, acidic and alkaline corrosion). That is why tanks used to store chemicals are lined with FRP. Our fiberglass lining is leak proof and resistant to corrosion. The material is ideal for fabricating roof tops and lining metal tanks. The FRP lining that we supply for industrial purposes is highly capable of withstanding adverse conditions. Our FRP linings are of excellent quality, and are available at cost-effective prices.

For its properties of chemical resistant, leak proof or UV Proof, FRP lining and coating usually apply on an original substrate such as concrete, mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, PVC, PP, PVDF, PE, EPS or any thermoplastic. An underground steel tank will need an external protection barrier to protect itself from the acidic environment or weather.
