Historical Application of FRP
In 1971 Dynaglass introduced FRP to the industry to help solve the many corrosion problems suffered from the use of metals. For over 31 years, FRP equipment intalled by dynaglass in various applications have proven to have met every expectations

Internal Floating roof was first constructed out of steel. As steel begins to rust costs in maintenance continue to rise. Aluminum thought to be better was introduced, but for some applications these also suffered corrosion. Eventually Steel or Aluminum IFR will need to be replaced at a cost. In search of better materials to solve the corrosion and rust problems, FRP was used to produce fuel storage tanks since 1958 and continues to be commonly seen in use for underground storage tanks amongst many other successful applications. Many tanks have existed underground beyond their 30-year manufacturer's warranty term. Some have even been dug out and re-buried with a re-certified 2nd term 30-year warranty.
