Characteristics and Applications of Glass Fused Steel

Glass Fused Steel or GFS is an expression commonly used in the international storage tank and silo industry to describe a vitreous enamel coating applied to large hot rolled steel sheets. These tanks can be used to store water, other liquids, sludge or grain.

Features

Superior performance

GFS tanks are a leading solution, combining the advantages of both materials - the strength and flexibility of steel and the high corrosion resistance of glass. These tanks offer perfect corrosion resistance. In addition to their excellent corrosion protection, these tanks are smooth, non-stick and have antibacterial properties. They are also scratch resistant and have high inertia and high acidity resistance. The edges of the tank plates are coated with the same enamel material to avoid electrolysis of dissimilar metals, to prevent rust and to weaken the enamel bond.

Fast Installation

They can be installed very quickly and have the best qualities, such as anti-design. They are subject to local weather, but are very safe and skill-free, so there is no need for long-term training of employees. It is very low maintenance and easy to repair.GLS/GFS tanks can be combined with other technologies and are easy to reuse, relocate and expand with an attractive appearance.

Long life span

These tanks lead the list of water storage solutions and are primarily used as slurry storage tanks, biogas plant effluent storage tanks, and slurry treatment facilities. The tank panels are fully integrated with vitreous enamel, which is attached to the metal and offers several advantages over standard epoxy-coated or weld-painted tanks.GFS is a so-called factory-applied coating, as the enamel needs to be cured in a furnace at 820 - 850 degrees C. The resulting coating is extremely wear-resistant. The resulting coating is extremely wear and chemical resistant, and the coating application system provides longer tank life, longer tank life cycles. gfs Tanks have a product life of no less than 40 years, and low investment costs. They exhibit high performance and durability, and are strong enough to resist cracking and impact.
