The HOT PRESSED (SMC) SHEET MOULDING COMPOUND method is employed to produce the GRP panels in order to ensure dimensional accuracy and consistent mechanical properties. Products produced by this method are used worldwide in a multiplicity of structural and engineering applications. These range from aircraft wings where structural integrity is paramount to ship hulls where a combination of strength and water tightness is fundamental.

By encapsulating a 25mm ~ 40mm layer of rigid polyurethane foam, PIPECO pre-insulated panel could maintain the desired water temperature stored inside the tank under extreme temperature condition. PIPECO pre-insulated panel could be selected for water storage where there is a need to stabilize the temperature against extreme heat or freezing condition so to prevent dew formation.
