GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is a composite material combining polyester resin and glass fibers. This combination gives it high mechanical strength, excellent durability, and remarkable chemical resistance.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is a composite material offering an exceptional combination of lightness, mechanical strength, and durability. It is distinguished by its high resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme environmental conditions, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. In addition, its design flexibility allows for the manufacture of custom structures, optimizing the performance and longevity of equipment.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) cannot be recycled in the same way as traditional plastics. Due to its composite composition—a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers—conventional mechanical recycling is difficult. However, there are specialized processes for recovering end-of-life materials, including energy recovery or grinding techniques and reuse in secondary applications (fillers, construction materials, etc.). In addition, research is underway to develop more sustainable recycling methods for composites. GCER remains attentive to these technological developments in order to integrate environmentally friendly solutions into its processes.

GCER operates in various sectors, including : • Water and water desalination • Wastewater • Chemicals • Agri-food • Energy • Mining • Oil • Environment • Industrial processes
GCER specializes in : • Composite materials (GRP) • Thermoplastics such as HDPE, PVC, PPH, PVDF, PVC-C, ECTFE, and PFA • Metal construction
To find out if thermoplastic or GRP equipment has reached the end of its service life, check for : • Cracks or deformations. • Loss of resistance to stress. • Leaks or damaged seals. • Reduced performance after testing or inspections. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and carry out regular checks.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is generally more expensive than thermoplastics. This difference is due to a more complex manufacturing process and the use of reinforced materials. However, GRP offers better mechanical and chemical resistance, making it ideal for demanding applications.
The lifespan of a GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) tank is generally longer than that of a steel tank. • GRP tank : it can last between 30 and 50 years, or even longer, as it does not rust and is resistant to chemicals and harsh conditions. It is also lightweight during installation and can be buried or above ground, reducing maintenance and handling costs. • Steel tank : its lifespan is often 15 to 25 years, as it can rust and corrode, especially if exposed to moisture or chemicals.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) tanks are more expensive than steel tanks because they are made from more costly materials, such as resins and glass fibers. In addition, their manufacture is more complex. However, they last longer, are more resistant to corrosion, and require less maintenance.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) tanks are used to store a wide range of liquids, including drinking water, rainwater, chemicals, industrial liquids, and food products, etc. Their resistance to corrosion and chemicals makes them suitable for these applications.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) tanks are manufactured by combining resins and glass fibers, which gives them high resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and heat. Thermoplastic tanks, on the other hand, are made from plastics such as PVC, HDPE, or PP, etc. These plastics are more flexible and easier to mold. Thermoplastic tanks are often lighter, but GRP tanks offer better mechanical strength and are more suitable for extreme conditions.
GRP tanks generally have a longer service life than thermoplastic tanks due to their increased resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme conditions. A GRP tank can last between 30 and 50 years, while a thermoplastic tank can have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years, depending on the conditions of use and the type of liquid stored.
GRP tanks are suitable for storing a wide range of liquids, including aggressive chemicals, oils, acids, and bases. Thermoplastic tanks are better suited to less aggressive liquids, but certain materials such as HDPE or PVC can be used to store specific chemicals. It is important to ensure that the tank material is compatible with the liquid to be stored in order to prevent degradation of the tank.
