GRP Panel Design

PRE-Insulated Panel

By encapsulating a 25mm ~ 50mm layer of rigid polyurethane foam, POTAGLAS pre-insulated panel could maintain the desired water temperature stored inside the tank under extreme temperature condition. POTAGLAS 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.

*Flange height (FH) varies according panel series
*Standard colour: gray
