Glass Fused-to-Steel Technology

Engineered Storage Products has been utilizing the glass fused-to-steel technology on tanks it manufactures since 1949. The coating is a special proprietary formulation of borosilicate glass and minerals that when fired above 1500°F result in a glossy, inert, inorganic coating, chemically and mechanically bonded to steel. There are more than 15 different ingredients that give glass fused-to-steel coating its performance characteristics. With a coating thickness of 7 to 11 mils on both sides of the sheet, Aquastore tanks provide effective corrosion resistance from internal and external elements. The strength of steel combined with the smooth durability of glass give Aquastore tanks quality longevity that is unmatched in the market.

ADVANTAGES

TYPICALLY, PAINTED TANKS NEED COSTLY REPAINTING FROM TIME TO TIME--GLASS FUSED-TO-STEEL COATINGS ELIMINATE ALL PAINTING.

THE 5,000 PSI CHEMICAL & MECHANICAL BOND CREATED BY THE GLASS FUSED-TO-STEEL PROCESS WILL NOT UNDERCUT.

GRAFFITI WILL NOT ADHERE TO THE GLASS SURFACE.
