Fiberglass is a common material for making environmentally friendly equipment. Its full name is fiberglass composite resin. It has many advantages that new materials do not have.
Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a blend of environmentally friendly resin and fiberglass fibers through processing technology. After the resin has cured, its performance begins to stabilize and cannot be traced back to its pre curing state. Strictly speaking, it is a type of epoxy resin. After years of improvement in the chemical industry, it will solidify within a certain period of time after adding appropriate curing agents. After solidification, the resin has no toxic precipitation and begins to possess some characteristics that are very suitable for the environmental protection industry.
Equipment advantages
1. High impact resistance
The just right elasticity and highly flexible mechanical strength enable it to withstand strong physical impacts. At the same time, it can withstand long-term water pressure of 0.35-0.8MPa, so it is used to make filter sand cylinders. In this way, the suspended solids in the water can be quickly isolated on the sand layer through the pressurization of the high-pressure water pump. Its high strength can also be reflected in the mechanical strength of fiberglass and engineering plastics of the same thickness, which is about 5 times that of engineering plastics.
2. Excellent corrosion resistance
Neither strong acids nor strong bases can cause damage to its finished products. Therefore, fiberglass products are popular in industries such as chemical, medical, and electroplating. It has been made into pipes for strong acids to pass through, and the laboratory also uses it to make containers that can hold strong acids and bases. Because seawater has a certain alkalinity, equipment like protein separators can be made not only of seawater resistant PP plastic, but also of fiberglass. However, when using fiberglass, molds should be pre made.
3. Long lifespan
Glass does not have a lifespan issue. Its main component is silica. In its natural state, there is no aging phenomenon of silica. Advanced resins can have a lifespan of at least 50 years under natural conditions. Therefore, industrial aquaculture equipment such as fiberglass fish ponds generally do not have a lifespan issue.
4. Good portability
The main component of fiberglass is resin, which is a substance with a density lower than water. For example, a fiberglass incubator with a diameter of two meters, a height of one meter, and a thickness of 5 millimeters can be moved by one person. On long-distance transportation vehicles for aquatic products, fiberglass fish ponds are more popular among people. Because it not only has high strength, but also facilitates the handling of goods when getting on or off the vehicle. Modular assembly, with optional additional processes according to actual needs.
5. Customizing according to individual needs
General fiberglass products require corresponding molds during production. But during the production process, flexible modifications can be made according to customer requirements. For example, a fiberglass fish pond can be equipped with inlet and outlet ports or overflow ports at different locations according to customer requirements. Resin is sufficient for sealing the opening, which is very convenient. After molding, resin takes several hours to fully cure, providing people with the opportunity to make different products as they please by hand.
Summary: Fiberglass products are becoming increasingly prominent in the environmental protection industry due to their many advantages mentioned above. Considering its long lifespan, its long-term usage cost is negligible compared to plastic and metal products. Therefore, we will see the presence of fiberglass products in more and more occasions.
