GRP PANEL DESIGN
Performance of Panels
By encapsulating a 50mm layer of rigid polyurethane foam, PIPECO pre-insulated panel could maintain the desired water temperature stored inside the tank under extreme temperature condition. PIPECO pre-insulated panel could be selected for water storage where there is a need to stabilize the temperature against extreme heat or freezing conditions so to prevent dew formation.
