Tanks produced by Salher are made of fibregalss-reinforced polyester according to European Union standards, which provides a complete resistance to corosion presenting one ot the main problems as far as tanks made of traditional materials are concerned.

Our units made of fibreglass-reinforced polyester guarantee long-term operation, high level of thermal insulation, complete elimination of corosion, resistance to biological factors and complete watertightness. Thanks to modular system the installation of a unit may be easily adjusted to individual needs.

Tanks are produced according to European Union UNE 53-361-90 standard “For tanks made of fibregalss-reinforced polyester”.

According to the regulations of this standard, the wall stratification has to contain an internal coating of enriched gel coat as chemical protection. The structure of the wall of a unit is composed of one-direction threads, which provide an additional protection for chemical barriers during mechanical interaction. Owing to that fact the chemical layer is not damaged. Additionally, tanks have been finished with a cover similar in characteristics to an internal layer.

One of the advantages of our designs is the use of fibreglass-reinforced polyester in the construction of tanks, which gives the units a complete guarantee of durability and resistance to corrosion and weathering of time. Moreover, the isothermal properties of the material protect from sudden changes of temperature.

Characteristics of FGRP (fibreglass-reinforced polyester)
High chemical resistance. All types of equipment are resistant to corosion. In consequence, they are ideal for using for substances such as sewage.	High mechanical resistance. Tanks may be installed even up to 5 meters underground.
Moderate weight. Small weight of the material itself makes all the necessary installation work easier and faster.	Long-lasting operation. Resistance to chemical factors and durability of units contribute to their long-lasting operation.
Isothermal material. Fibreglass-reinforced polyester shows isothermal properties. It is essential due to the necessity of providing stable temperature for bacteria.	Flexibility. Flexibility of the material enables to produce any type of the unit and adjust it to individual needs.
Odourless material. Fibreglass-reinforced polyester doesn’t leave any contamination or odours. As the result, tanks may be used for food storage.	Watertightness. Properties of the material ensure complete watertightness of tanks.
