Composites for tank & pipeline construction

Specific materials are used within the Tank & Pipeline construction sector. In particular, this involves working with vinyl ester resins, such as Derakane resins. These resins can be made conductive, as one often has to deal with electricity or fuels (or a combination of these) within this sector.

3D fabrics, synthetic veils and ECR glass veils are also applied within the tank and pipeline construction industry. In combination with PET core materials and various glass reinforcement materials, extremely strong structures can be built that are resistant to the influences of (chemical) liquids.
