Description

1465 Tata Steel FRP Vessel is a specific model of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) pressure vessel manufactured or branded by Tata Steel for use in water treatment systems—both domestic and industrial. These vessels are engineered to hold and transport water or process fluids under pressure as part of filtration, softening, or purification systems.

What Is an FRP Vessel?

An FRP vessel is a tank made from fiber-reinforced plastic, a composite material with high-strength glass fibers bound in a resin. FRP is:

• Lightweight yet strong

• Highly corrosion-resistant

• Durable in harsh chemical environments

• Lower in maintenance compared to traditional metal tanks such as steel or stainless steel.  These properties make FRP vessels ideal for water treatment applications, where exposure to moisture and chemicals is constant.
