M.I.P. manufactures corrosion-resistant storage systems, such as storage and process tanks, for the chemical industry. For this, we always use composite materials (or glass-fibre-reinforced plastic). This is because composites do not rust or corrode like steel or other metals. Furthermore, they are impermeable to water, vapours and gases, and resistant to most chemicals. Composite materials are therefore the material of choice for the chemical storage of hazardous and harmful substances.

In the chemical industry, it is extremely important to handle (harmful) materials and raw materials with care. When developing and constructing our storage systems, we therefore always place the utmost importance on health, the environment and safety.

We build tanks and silos for companies across all sectors of the chemical industry. Some examples of sectors in which our tanks are used include the cleaning industry, the chlorine industry and the fertiliser industry.

Storage of hazardous substances and flammable products

Our corrosion-resistant storage systems are suitable for the storage or processing of hazardous, flammable and combustible raw materials such as:

  • hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid
  • caustic soda and hypochlorite
  • chloride, bromide and fluoride salts, such as sodium chloride and ferric chloride
  • sulphates, sulphites and phosphates
  • Formic acid
  • Citric acid

Chemical cleaning products

Even if chemical substances are not stored but are used as cleaning agents or disinfectants, composite materials offer the required chemical resistance. However, it may then be necessary to add a special resin or composite inner lining (liner).

The right resin or glass fibre for your product

To make our storage systems as safe and environmentally friendly as possible, we always focus on sustainability.

Drawing on our many years of experience and in-depth specialist knowledge, we can advise you on the right resins and glass fibres for your specific application or the chemical products and substances to be stored. For specialised applications, we also draw on the research facilities and technical expertise of the resin manufacturer AOC (formerly Aliancys).

Regardless of the application, we always guarantee the best and most sustainable storage system with the highest chemical resistance. Furthermore, at M.I.P. we have two large production halls in Belgium and the Netherlands, where we can build all our storage systems to the required scale.
