Fiberglass (FRP) Tanks
Built for Tough Environments, Engineered to Last
Leak-proof storage. Certified standards. Lightweight strength. James Riggins specifies ASTM D3299 filament-wound FRP with the right resin system & corrosion barrier to stop wicking, resist chemical attack, and survive seismic loads.

Failures come from wrong resin/liner and inconsistent lay-up. James specifies filament winding for hoop strength and a C-Veil (or synthetic veil) corrosion barrier matched to your MSDS and temperature — machine-precision construction over generic spray-up/hand lay-up with variable thickness and wicking risk.
- Filament Wound — Machine Precision, High Hoop Strength
- C-Veil Resin-Rich Interior Corrosion Barrier
- Vinyl Ester / Isophthalic Resin Matched to Duty
- Engineered Lug Patterns, Stamped Calcs Available
- UV Gelcoat, Low-Maintenance Exterior

Frequently Asked Questions
What standard governs FRP tank construction?
ASTM D3299 governs filament-wound FRP tank construction, specifying the resin system and corrosion barrier needed to resist chemical attack and wicking.
What causes FRP tanks to blister or weep?
Wrong resin/liner selection and inconsistent lay-up — generic spray-up or hand lay-up construction has variable thickness and wicking risk compared to machine-precision filament winding.
What is a C-Veil corrosion barrier?
A resin-rich interior layer (C-Veil or synthetic veil) matched to your MSDS and temperature that forms the chemical-resistant barrier protecting the structural fiberglass from attack.
