FRP (Fiber-glass Reinforced Plastic) electrolytic cell/storage tank is constructed by a steel or wooden frame and the hand lay-up fiberglass bonded by resin. The cell can be used for the copper /nickel /zinc /manganese electro-refining /electrowinning industry.

Description

Resin is the key element to FRP cell fabrication, directly influencing its service lifetime, anti-corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Fiberglass, however, determines the cell’s strength at high working temperature. The fabrication of FRP is to lay up the different fiberglass impregnated with vinyl-ester resin in sequence by hand.

Metalcess ensures that the hand lay-up FRP is of good corrosion and leakage resistance, good strength to impact and working load, and no stitching point, smooth surface for easy cleaning. The FRP material is also good in insulation, no transition of spurious current, no electricity leakage and high electricity efficiency.As an option, the FRP layers may be pigmented white, gray or other color favorable to refinery operation or purchaser preference.
