FIBER-GLASS PIPE IS WELCOMED BY GROWING ENGINEERING MARKET

FIBER-GLASS PIPE USES ARE RECOMMENDED IN WATER-SOFTENER TANKS, ADVERTISING DISPLAYS, TROUGHS, LIGHT DIFFUSERS AND DECORATIVE TOPS FOR INSECT TRAPS. REINFORCED PLASTIC PROPERTIES OF CORROSION RESISTANCE, CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, LOW HEAT CONDUCTIVITY, STRENGTH AND HARDNESS ENCOURAGE FURTHER USE AND APPLICATION. PLASTIC CYLINDERS ARE TRANSLUCENT, PROVIDING A DIRECT VISUAL READING OF LIQUID LEVEL INSIDE A TANK. CENTRIFUGAL CASTING ELIMINATES LONGITUDINAL SEAMS, THEREBY INCREASING DURABILITY. ONE USER CAPITALIZES ON THE STRENGTH OF THE GLASS-REINFORCED CYLINDERS TO MAKE CORES FOR WINDING FILMS AND PAPER. THE USEFULNESS OF PLASTIC PIPE CAN BE EXTENDED BY ADDING METAL FITTINGS AND INTERNAL ELEMENTS. CENTRIFUGALLY CAST FIBER-GLASS PIPE IS NOW OFFERED IN FIVE DIFFERENT COLORS, WHICH MAKE POSSIBLE COATING AND DECORATION WITHOUT PAINTING.
