Introduction Interplastic Corporation is the high-performance corrosion resistant resin specialist you can count on. Since 1957 we’ve assisted reinforced plastics composites manufacturers and the industries that use reinforced plastics build better, stronger, tougher, and longer-lasting products. In 1959, we introduced a line of isophthalic and orthophthalic polyester resins with outstanding laminating, casting and molding capabilities. At about the same time, we developed a line of top-performing gel coats for a wide variety of applications. Today, Interplastic gel coats give you extremely durable finishes for a brilliant surface in whatever color you choose.

In 1976, we announced our line of epoxy-based vinyl ester resins that have set the standard for the industry. In extremely challenging environments that require superior physical performance and corrosion resistance, Interplastic’s CoREZYN® vinyl esters consistently outperform the competition.

CoREZYN vinyl ester resins (designated “CORVE”) are a family of liquid thermosetting resins developed for the production of fiber-reinforced plastics. They are an ideal choice for severe applications, particularly in highly corrosive environments. The vinyl ester products exhibit similar strength characteristics to epoxy, but they are less expensive and much easier to handle. There is a wide variety of resins available within our vinyl ester family to meet a broad range of design and engineering needs, and all of them possess corrosion resistance and exceptional physical properties.

The Use of Antimony Trioxide in Fire Retardant Resins

Antimony trioxide should be added immediately before using the resin and only to enough resin for an eight-hour period. If the antimony is added and the resin is not used in eight hours, the gel time can increase and cause gel and cure problems. When using resin that has had antimony trioxide added over eight hours before, the gel time and cure profile should be checked to ensure it will gel and cure, as well as perform properly, in the specific application. An additional 0.05 weight per percent of 12% cobalt can be added to reduce the gel time. If a further decrease in gel time is required, a maximum addition of 0.05% DMA may be incorporated.

Reinforcement of nozzle and manhole openings in vessel walls: In accordance with ASTM D 3299 for filament wound vessels or ASTM D 4097 for contact-molded, hand lay-up, vessels. When reinforcing materials are cut to facilitate placement around an installed nozzle or opening, stagger joints in successive reinforcing layers to avoid overlapping and do not place so the joints are parallel to the axis of the tank. The principle fiber direction of the woven roving reinforcement (0 degree/90 degrees) shall be parallel to the tank axis.

Cover: Domed top with bolted manway and nozzles as indicated on the drawings.

44

Tank Insulation and Heating

Where specified, provide insulation a 2-inch thick, 2-pound density polyurethane foam board to tank structural laminate before the laminate has a chance to harden, so that the insulation bonds to the tank wall.

Provide exterior fiberglass protective laminate over the polyurethane foam board to a thickness of 1.145 inch. Provide expansion joints as needed on straight shell exterior fiberglass protective laminate. Provide a lip at expansion joints to keep moisture out of the joints. Minimum overlap shall be one inch.

At fittings, remove insulation and reinforce connection with fiberglass laminate to the outer side of the structural wall laminate. Replace insulation, cover with fiberglass laminate, and caulk interface around fitting. If heating is required, shop installed heat tracing or heat panels should be provided.

Vessel Assembly

All cutouts from the equipment shall be marked, indicating their original location, and retained. Do not remove centerlines marked on the equipment for use in assembly until after inspection.

Install flanged nozzles with bolt holes straddling principle centerlines of the vessel. For tank tops, nozzle bolt holes straddle radial centerlines. Where specified, a non-skid surface shall be provided on the exterior surface of the domed cover. Silica grit may be applied in conjunction with the final resin coat. Other methods may be submitted.

• Name of manufacturer • Date of manufacture • Purchase order number • Equipment name/number • Resin number and manufacturer • Design pressure and temperature • Vessel diameter, height, and weight

Butt joints or shell joints shall be in the number and location(s) as indicated on the fabrication drawings. Additional joints are not allowed. Slip joints, "mod joints," or other methods not conforming to the fabrication drawings are not allowed. If joint locations are not indicated on the fabrication drawings, fabricator shall submit number and location. Allowable tolerances shall be as listed in ASTM D 3299 or ASTM D 4097, except as modified herein or on the fabricator drawings.

When joining components, gaps at mating edges shall be limited to 1/4-inch maximum, and misalignment of inside surfaces shall not exceed 1/3 inch of the lesser wall thickness. The outside surface of vessel flat bottoms after assembly shall be flat within plus or minus 1/2 inch. In addition, localized indentations or protrusions shall not exceed plus or minus 1/4 inch within two feet.

45

Tank Installation

For flat bottom vessels without legs, the foundation must provide full non-elastic support to the flat bottom, preferably through the use of grout, which will allow continuous support even though surfaces may not be flat. All anchor lugs or leg pads shall be set on a 1-inch thick layer of non-shrink grout. Do not use hard shim to fill void between the lugs and foundation.

Unless otherwise agreed, independently support all piping so as not to apply loads to the vessel nozzles. Isolate potential load due to thermal expansion of piping from the vessel. During installation, do not force piping into alignment, which can create excessive stresses in the tank. Do not mate raised face flanges or ring gaskets to full-faced fiberglass reinforced plastic nozzles.

Vertically support ladders at the tank foundation or platform. Ladder lugs attached to the vessels shall provide lateral support only. Where tank foundations are cut out to accommodate full bottom drains, fill the cutout area after tank installation with grout or other material that will provide localized support.
