GLASS FUSED STEEL TANKS (GFS TANKS)
Glass Fused Steel is a leading solution combines the advantages of both materials - the strength of and flexibility of the steel and high corrosion resistance of the Glass. The tank panels are fused with Glass enamel coating at 800 to 900 degree Celsius with perfect anti-corrosion performance which is ideal to use for Water, Waste Water Storage Tanks and BioGas Digesters.
Glass Fused Steel tanks, also known as Glass Lined Steel (GLS) tanks, are made by fusing glass with steel panels. These panels are mild steel sheets with a layer of glass/silicate fused onto them, making the panels more durable and resistant to environmental conditions.

PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY
Fusion Process
A layer of glass is fused onto the steel panels at temperatures between 780 to 900 degrees Celsius, creating a smooth, shiny, and solid enamel coating.
Surface Treatment
All materials receive surface treatment for enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting, polished performance.
WHY USE GFS TANKS?
Durability
The fusion of glass with steel prevents corrosion and decomposition.
Strength
The fused panels are stronger and can withstand a wider range of pH levels and abrasion.
Fire Safety
GFS tanks meet FM Global and other major industry standards for fire protection water storage.
