Glass Fused Steel Tanks

Glass Fused to Steel Tanks (GFS) is also known as Glass Lined Steel (GLS) Tanks. The shell or the wall of the tank and roof sheets are made using a technique in which vitreous enamel when fired usually in the temperature range of 830-850 ˚C, the coating reaches full mobility & viscosity and during this period, interaction between the glass and steel accelerates, an interfacial adhesion layer is formed and synthesis of the two materials takes place. Compared to other spray application methods, which often use inorganic clays to suspend the particles in water, enamel powder coating provides the proven optimal purity.

The Glass coating protects the base metal, which is hot rolled steel, from corrosion and also make it non-reactive to many liquid contents of the tanks. Our tanks are made with both side glass coated plates and the thickness of the glass layer varies in the range of 250-460 micron.
