Static Electricity & Grounding in FRP Chemical Tanks: Conductive Liners & Carbon Black Additives
The Hazard of Electrostatic Charge in Non-Metallic Vessels Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is inherently an electrical insulator with surface resistivity typically exceeding 10^12 ohms/square. When storing non-conductive flammable solvents such as toluene, xylene, hexane, methanol, or acetone, the fluid movement during pumping, splashing, or agitation generates significant static electrostatic charges. If the charge builds up […]
