Latest FRP Technology

July 17, 2007

FTS is using the latest technology in Fibre Reinforced Plastic construction for their fuel, chemical and water underground storage tanks. Our standard resin for all fuel storage tanks is Terephthalic Polyester Resin which has the ability to cope with the demands of blended fuels that contain Ethanol. It is a high crosslinked density Terephthalic polymer that has superior strength and corrosive resistance as well as greater retention of physical properties at elevated temperatures. This means that all FTS fuel tanks are built to the highest standard ensuring that they are maintenance free and extremely long lasting.

Where extra corrosion resistance is required, particularly for the storage of certain chemicals, we use a Vinyl Ester Resin as a lining that will cope with the particular chemical’s corrosive properties.

Whatever your particular storage needs FTS is able to design and manufacture a tank to suit your requirements.
