How to protect small FRP tank

Small glass steel treatment tank is suitable for occasions where the amount of water treatment is not large, as a carrier in the water treatment system, it can be used for water filtration or softening procedures in many industries such as industry. Although it is equipment, the glass fiber reinforced plastic tank also needs to be protected to ensure the long-term effective operation of the equipment.

 

Due to the limited conditions and installed in the outdoor tank, all the year round by wind, sun and rain, in order to avoid tank failure and affect the operation of the equipment, therefore, the tank needs to do some protective measures. The most direct protection is to apply a UV protection layer to the outer layer of the small FRP tank.

The following Xiaobian will give you a brief introduction to the production method of small glass fiber reinforced plastic tank UV protection layer.

First, some preparatory work needs to be done to initially clean the surface of the tank.

First scrub the tank with detergent and water to remove dust and oil on the surface of the tank. Rinse with water several times to remove the detergent, then let dry.

Secondly, after the dust and oil are cleaned up, the deep cleaning can be carried out.

Clean the surface of the tank with a clean brush dipped in acetone, making sure the brush used is clean and using as much acetone as possible to clean the entire surface of the tank. It should be noted that acetone is flammable, can not be inhaled into the human body, can not flow into the inside of the tank, need to use gloves when brushing.

Finally, after cleaning, you can brush a protective layer on the surface of the tank.

The coating is recommended to use 100% acrylic latex enamel, which has a good bonding effect and will not weather. When painting, you should also pay attention to brushing the ultraviolet radiation area first, such as: the top and side of the tank, where the sunlight can be directly irradiated.

The UV protection layer can effectively slow down the aging phenomenon of small FRP tanks after long-term exposure to sunlight. In addition to the need to pay attention to avoid strong light exposure in the use of FRP tank, but also pay attention to the change of working temperature.

Under normal circumstances, the resistance temperature of FRP tank is between 1 ° C and 49 ° C, therefore, in the case of too low temperature, attention should be paid to anti-freezing, especially in winter, the outdoor tank can be wrapped with sponge layer, so as to avoid freezing and cracking of the tank.

The protection of small FRP tanks is not complicated, and before being put into use, if it is directly placed outdoors, it is necessary to do a good job of UV protection. At the same time, pay attention to the use of temperature, the inside of the tank also need to be cleaned regularly.
