Our Production Technology
Composite Technologies
We turn the properties of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) into products through methods such as filament winding, pultrusion and hot pressing.
GRP Tanks
Filament Winding Technology
Continuous glass-fibre rovings pass through a resin bath and are wound onto a rotating mandrel at a controlled angle and tension. The method gives a consistent structure along the tank body.
- Tank capacity
- 1–200 Tons
Homogeneous Structure
Continuous glass-fibre rovings are wound in an orderly way under tension, which reduces the risk of weak spots and air bubbles compared with hand lay-up.
Directed Strength
Fibres are wound at hoop and helical angles to suit the pressure the tank will carry.
Monoblock Body
The tank body is made in one piece, with no joints, weld seams or rivets.
Optimized Cost
Wall thickness is set to the tank's working pressure, so no material is used where it is not needed.
GRP Profiles
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant structural profiles made by pultrusion
Corrosion-resistant, high-strength GRP structural profiles that are up to 75% lighter than steel. Box, U, I, round-tube and angle profiles, together with handrail, deck, kickplate and flat-bar sections, are produced continuously by pultrusion; they do not rust like steel, need no painting and have low maintenance needs. They are chosen for platforms and walkways, handrails, cooling towers, chemical plants, marine structures and load-bearing systems that need electrical insulation.

GRP Corrugated Sheets
Translucent and Opaque Roof / Façade Solutions
Translucent or opaque GRP corrugated sheets for roof and façade applications. Where light transmission is wanted they let daylight in, while resisting corrosion and weather. Being light compared with sheet metal and similar materials, they reduce handling and installation loads. They are used for roofing and cladding on factories, warehouses and agricultural buildings, and as rooflight sheets.

SMC-BMC Production
Hot-press moulding
Repeatable series parts made by hot compression moulding. With good surface quality and dimensional stability, parts from the same mould come out consistent; the material is light compared with metal, corrosion-resistant and electrically insulating. It is used for series parts in infrastructure, electrical and industrial applications; the panels of our GRP modular water tanks are made the same way.

GRP Gratings
Fiberglass-reinforced composite grating
Composite grating flooring with a slip-resistant surface, corrosion resistance and no electrical conductivity. It is an alternative in aggressive environments where steel grating rusts, needs painting and demands regular maintenance; being light, it can be handled by hand and cut and fitted easily on site. It serves as platforms, walkways and channel covers in chemical plants, marinas and treatment works.

Materials Science
What is GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)?
GRP (GRP - Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a superior composite material resulting from the combination of the high mechanical strength of glass fiber and the chemical resistance of thermosetting resin.
In this combination, glass fibers form the "bone" structure that carries the load, while the resin forms the "muscle" tissue that holds these fibers together, distributes the load and protects against external factors.
Corrosion-Resistant
Unlike steel, it does not rust
Thermal Resistance
Low thermal conductivity
Monobloc Build
One-piece body
Light & Strong
High strength-to-weight ratio
Material Options
Resin Types and Areas of Use
We offer different resin options to suit the stored medium and the operating temperature. The resin is chosen with you, based on the project's conditions.
Orthophthalic Resins
General purpose use
It is preferred in simple water storage or decorative products that are resistant to atmospheric conditions. It is an economical option.
ResistanceLow-Medium
Isophthalic Resins
Water storage and moderate chemical resistance
Resins with improved water and chemical resistance. They are preferred for underground tanks and projects that need hydrolysis resistance.
ResistanceMedium-High
Vinylester Resins
Aggressive chemicals
High resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents and oxidising agents. Preferred for higher-temperature and industrial process tanks.
ResistanceVery High
Epoxy Resins
Special mechanical and thermal applications
These are resins used in aviation and advanced engineering applications. It can be used according to the requirements of the project.

Comparison
GRP vs Other Materials
A general, qualitative comparison of corrosion resistance and maintenance needs. Actual behaviour depends on the environment and the application.
| Property | GRP | Steel | Concrete | PE (Plastic) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corrosion resistance | Very good | Poor | Moderate | Good |
| Maintenance need | Low | High | Moderate | Low |
