What do you need from me to quote FRP lamination?
Please send photos of the area, the size or area in square metres, what it is (tank, pond, pool, roof, steel structure), what it holds or is exposed to, and the site location. We may arrange a site visit before quoting.
What can you laminate?
Concrete and steel tanks, wastewater tanks, swimming pools, fish ponds, roofs, coastal and offshore steel, fertilizer plant equipment, agitator shafts and impellers.
Which resin should I choose?
GP resin for waterproofing pools, ponds, floors and roofs. ISO or vinyl ester for chemical tanks, pits and bund walls. Vinyl ester for strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, or for higher temperatures. We advise on the resin and number of plies before we quote.
Can you do the work on site?
Yes. We laminate on site, or you can send parts to our factory in Port Klang.
How is the lining checked?
By visual inspection for blisters, cracks and trapped air, and by counting the plies as they are laid. You are welcome to witness the work.
Can the plant keep running during the work?
Often yes, area by area, as long as no welding or cutting is done near the lining. We agree the sequence on the site visit.
Do you sell lamination materials?
Yes. We sell chopped strand mat (CSM) in 10 kg packs and full rolls, waterproofing resin with hardener, and ISO and GP unsaturated polyester resin in 200 kg drums or IBC.
How much mat do I need?
Measure the area and multiply by the number of plies. A full CSM roll covers about 179 m2 per ply and a 10 kg pack about 33 m2 per ply. Tell us the area and use, and we recommend the quantity.
Can I thin the resin with water?
No. Water spoils the resin. Use thinner only to clean brushes and tools.
How thick is an FRP lining?
About 1 mm per ply of 450 g/m2 chopped strand mat, so usually 1 to 3 mm. Chemical tank linings use 2 to 5 plies to suit the chemical.
Can new concrete be lined straight away?
No. New concrete should cure for about 28 days, and any groundwater leaks must be stopped before lining.
Is there a warranty on FRP lamination?
There is no standard warranty, because the life of a lining depends on the chemical, the temperature and wear. We advise on the right build-up for your job before we quote.
