A. Tri-Mer’s fiberglass tanks made with polyester resins are suitable for use in liquid storage tanks or chemical tank. Fiberglass tanks are resistant to acids, caustics and high heat, also galvanic and aerobic corrosion and many chemicals. Fiberglass tanks are very suitable for a petrochemical liquid storage tank. As with all tanks, resins must be selected carefully. Like plastic tanks, fiberglass tanks are not always suitable as a chemical tank. Fiberglass tanks can be attacked from hydrolysis and oxidation, for example. Consult Tri-Mer regarding the best chemical tank material for your application.
