Here are the top five advantages of GRP tanks over traditional industry materials.

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP), has several advantages over other materials, particularly when compared to steel alternatives.

GRP Corrosion resistance

Anchor-Link instals water tanks all around the world and wanted a material that could endure extremely harsh weather (cold/hot), as opposed to steel, which has minimal corrosion resistance qualities and requires painting or galvanizing. Anodizing or other coatings are required for aluminum tanks since they are prone to corrosion. Chemicals, as well as wastewater and sewage, are resistant to corrosion in the GRP water tank.

Alternatives vs. high-strength factor

The higher strength of GRP over steel profiles is significant. Despite its lightness, GRP has a high strength-to-weight load-bearing capacity. Our GRP products outperform and outlast traditional materials due to the high glass-to-resin ratios employed in our scientifically superior formulation. Steel must be heavy to acquire its high strength qualities. Aluminum, on the other hand, lacks this feature and has low-strength capabilities.

GRP Maintainance

Compared to steel and aluminum, which can rust, corrode, and need to be coated or repainted over the same period as GRP's design life, GRP has a design life of 25 years and is maintenance-free. When compared to other traditional materials, GRP is exceptionally robust and will not warp under impact.

Alternatives vs. lightweight capabilities

Due to its lightweight qualities, GRP material is a low-cost choice; it is 70%–80% lighter than steel, and transport costs are drastically reduced because no heavy lifting equipment is necessary to on/offload. GRP is lightweight and easy to transport from the factory to the job site, lowering overall installation costs.

Lower Cost of production, installation, maintenance & transport 

GRP has a lower initial material cost than steel and aluminum, but it is more expensive to maintain and has a shorter life cycle. High tensile strength and non-conductive qualities combine to provide a product that is cost-effective, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly.
