Resisting Corrosion: Fiberglass Solutions for the Chemical Industry

The Chemical Industry is a vital sector that transforms raw materials into a vast array of products essential for modern life, from pharmaceuticals and plastics to fertilizers and cleaning agents. This industry is characterized by complex processes and the handling of various reactive and corrosive substances. Two significant challenges that chemical manufacturers frequently encounter are the pervasive issue of material corrosion due to exposure to aggressive chemicals, acids, and alkalis, and the critical need for maintaining operational safety and integrity under high temperatures and pressures. Equipment failure in this environment can lead to severe consequences, making material selection paramount.

We offer advanced fiberglass composites expertly designed to excel in the demanding conditions of the chemical industry:

• ‍Filament Winding: This process creates exceptionally strong and corrosion-resistant pipes, tanks, and vessels. Ideal for storing and transporting corrosive chemicals, Filament Winding products ensure long-term integrity and safety, significantly reducing maintenance needs and costly downtime.‍

• Engineering Thermoplastics (Fiberglass): These materials offer superior chemical resistance and high-temperature performance, making them suitable for pump components, valve parts, and other equipment exposed to aggressive chemical agents. They provide a lightweight yet robust alternative to traditional metals.‍

• Pultrusion (Fiberglass): Pultruded profiles are inherently corrosion-resistant and possess high strength, making them excellent for structural supports, grating, and platforms within chemical processing plants where metal alternatives would quickly degrade.‍

• SMC (Fiberglass): Our SMC fiberglass is utilized for specialized enclosures, covers, and non-structural components that require chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and design flexibility, ensuring safety and performance in various chemical environments.

By offering a specialized fiberglass supply tailored to resist chemicals and withstand harsh operational parameters, Redhawk Fiberglass helps the chemical industry achieve greater efficiency, safety, and longevity in its critical infrastructure.
