FRP Flat Panel GRP Sheet

Description:

**SUNPASS FRP Flat Panel GRP Sheet** used in tank containers is a flat material made of **Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP/GRP)**, which is mainly used for tank container protection, heat insulation or structural reinforcement. Its specific functions are as follows:

---

### **1. Anti-corrosion protection**
- **Chemical corrosion resistance**: FRP/GRP materials have excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts. They are often used in tank container linings or external protective layers to prevent tanks from being corroded by cargo (such as chemicals, food-grade liquids) or the environment (such as seawater, humid air).
- **Metal replacement**: In corrosive environments, FRP panels can replace stainless steel or carbon steel components to extend the service life of tank containers.

### **2. Thermal insulation**
- **Thermal insulation**: FRP has a low thermal conductivity and can be used to make thermal insulation layers to reduce the impact of the temperature inside the tank on the external environment (such as high or low temperature transportation). It is suitable for liquids that require temperature control (such as asphalt, liquid chemicals).
- **Fire retardant**: Some FRP sheets have flame retardant properties and meet transportation safety standards (such as IMO, DOT).

### **3. Structural reinforcement and lightweight**
- **High strength-to-weight ratio**: FRP sheets are strong but lightweight and can be used to reinforce the side walls, top covers or bottom plates of tank containers without significantly increasing the overall weight.
- **Impact resistance**: Protect the tank from mechanical collision or wear during transportation.

### **4. Safety protection**
- **Anti-static design**: Some FRP sheets can be added with anti-static coatings to avoid dangers caused by static electricity accumulation (such as transporting flammable liquids).
- **Anti-slip surface**: Used on the top walkway or operating platform of the tank container to improve the safety of workers.

### **5. Maintenance and durability**
- **Easy to clean**: FRP has a smooth surface, is not easy to adhere to pollutants, and is easy to clean (especially suitable for food and pharmaceutical grade tanks).
- **Weather resistance**: Anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging, suitable for long-term outdoor use.

### **Typical application scenarios**
- **Tank lining**: As a protective layer when in direct contact with corrosive liquids.
- **External protective plate**: Covers the outside of the tank to prevent mechanical damage or chemical erosion.
- **Thermal insulation interlayer**: Combined with foam materials to form an insulation structure.
- **Operation platform**: An anti-slip walkway or work area on the top of the tank.

### **Supplementary explanation**
- **Material advantages**: Compared with traditional metals, FRP/GRP is lighter, more corrosion-resistant and does not require frequent maintenance, but the cost is higher.
- **Compliance**: It must comply with international transportation standards (such as ISO/UN specifications) to ensure compatibility with other tank accessories (such as valves and pipes).

If the accessory is a customized product of a specific brand (such as SUNPASS), its specific parameters (such as thickness and temperature resistance range) need to refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation.
