Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
Applications

Processing tanks, chemical containment pits, and neutralization basins
Acid-resistant flooring, trenches, and foundation slabs
Structural supports in corrosive or high-humidity zones
Why GFRP Rebar?

100% corrosion-resistant to acids, alkalis, chlorides, and solvents
Maintains strength in chemical exposure and temperature variations
Eliminates costly cathodic protection or epoxy coatings
Why GFRP Mesh?

Used for crack control in acid-proof flooring and drainage channels
Non-conductive → prevents stray current corrosion near electrical systems
Lightweight → simplifies retrofit or repair work inside containment zones
Oil, Gas & Refinery Facilities
Oil, Gas & Refinery Facilities
Applications

Cooling towers, brine channels, and pump foundations
