Plasticon Projects

After the Second World War, the Dutch company started as an installation company for PVC piping systems. Chemical plants acknowledged PVC as a chemical-resistant material for mediums such as chlorides, acids or caustic sodas. However, PVC had the disadvantage of being mechanically weak at low or high temperatures. The solution was to cover the PVC with a glass fibre reinforced polyester resin. This covering layer was not only chemical-resistant, but the material even appeared to be strong enough for the manufacture of storage tanks and equipment with diameters of 10 metres. From then on, Plasticon Projects built a reputation as an expert in the design and manufacturing of storage tanks, piping systems and process equipment for chemical processing markets.
