Applications of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) in chemical processing plants have seen slow but steady growth over the last 5 to 10 years. This growth has been quite remarkable considering the diverse differences between plastics and the metals they replace. There has also been a noticeable lack of standards for the industry. It is perhaps even more remarkable considering the end use was chemical process equipment with all the inherent considerations of safety, pressure, temperature, hazardous chemicals, and corrosion that must be factored into material selections for this service.
