What Materials Are Used for Resin Tanks?

Resin tanks, as a core component in water treatment systems and a variety of other applications, the choice of material is critical. Resin tanks are usually made of polymer compound plastic materials, which have their own characteristics and are suitable for different environments and needs. So what materials are used for resin tanks will be analyzed?

Stainless steel resin tank

1. Stainless steel, with its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and good plasticity, has become one of the ideal materials for manufacturing resin tanks. Stainless steel resin tanks are usually made of 304 or 316L grade stainless steel, these grades of stainless steel contain enough chromium and nickel to effectively resist the erosion of most chemicals, including some strong acids and alkalis, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the tank.

2. Another big advantage of stainless steel resin tank is its excellent mechanical properties. High strength gives it the ability to withstand high internal pressure and external forces, suitable for use under high pressure or complex working conditions. In addition, the smooth surface of stainless steel, easy to clean and maintain, reducing the adhesion of contaminants, and is conducive to maintaining the purity of the medium. Although the cost of stainless steel is relatively high, but its long life and low maintenance costs make the overall economic benefits significant.

FRP resin tank

1. FRP (also known as glass fiber reinforced plastic) is another widely used in the manufacture of resin tank material. It is made of glass fiber and resin matrix composite, through the lamination process molding, combined with the high strength of glass fiber and resin corrosion resistance, forming a lightweight, high strength, corrosion-resistant composite materials.

2. The main advantage of FRP resin tank lies in its lightweight characteristics, which makes it easy to be transported and installed, especially suitable for use in occasions where mobile equipment or space is restricted. At the same time, FRP has excellent chemical resistance, can resist the erosion of a variety of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents, suitable for a variety of corrosive media storage and processing. In addition, FRP material is highly designable and can be made into complex shapes as needed to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

However, FRP resin tanks may age in long-term use due to UV irradiation, temperature changes and other factors, affecting their strength and durability. Therefore, when used outdoors or under extreme environmental conditions, additional protective measures are required, such as the application of UV-protective coatings.

Resin tanks are used in a wide range of application scenarios. In addition to being the core component of water treatment systems, resin tanks can also be used to store drinking water, chemicals, petroleum oils, etc. Its corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, lightweight and other characteristics make resin tanks play an important role in these fields.
