FRP Lining
Fibre-reinforced plastic lining, built up from glass fibre reinforcement saturated with resin and cured into a hard, seamless, chemically resistant shell.
On an actual building
It suits chemical containment and industrial tanks where the lining must resist attack and abrasion as well as water. Resin chemistry must be matched to the actual stored chemical.
What we most often have to correct
That it is a general-purpose waterproofing option. It is rigid and will crack or debond on a substrate that moves.
