Water is an essential resource. Therefore, storage of clean, potable Water for extended periods remains a lop priority. Postaglas Tank Sdn Bhd’s water tanks, constructed from Glassfibre /Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (GRP/FRP) panels, fulfill this requirement. Today, POTAGLAS GRP water tanks supply millions of gallons of clean, drinking water to many parts of the world. Potaglas Tank Sdn Bhd manufactures POTAGLAS GRP panels, supported by technology from Bridgestone Corporation of Japan using the technically advanced sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) production method. POTAGLAS GRP panels produced using SMC,are dimensionally accurate, uniformly strong and extremely durable under all weather conditions. Until the introduction of GRP as a valuable water storage medium, concrete and steel sectional tanks had been widely used on such applications as housing complexes, industrial development areas, buildings, hospitals, rural water supply and other facilities. However, The use of the concrete and steel have their own particular disadvantages, for example, steel corrodes very easly – particularly in coastal environments and theirfore the tanks must be repainted periodically. Concrete tanks have a tendency to crack, small craks can lead to seepage and the possible tainting of the water. I several cases, fracture may occur which could cause the possible loss of use of the tank. These problems can be avoided by using HOT PRESSED GRP PANELS which provides very uniform, strong and stable construction. |
