- FRP Chemical & Storage Tanks: Heavy-duty storage vessels for acids (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3), alkalis (NaOH, KOH), wastewater neutralization, clean water, and Septic tank units.
- Cooling Towers & Components: Industrial round and rectangular counterflow/crossflow cooling towers, fan stacks, casings, drift eliminators, and internal water distribution piping.
- FRP Ducts, Chimneys & Scrubber Towers: Filament-wound and hand lay-up chemical exhaust ducting, gas scrubbers, hoods, and industrial chimneys.
- Molded & Pultruded FRP Gratings: High-load anti-slip walkways, catwalks, trench covers, and structural profiles for chemical plants and marine installations.
- On-site FRP Lining & Automotive Components: Anti-corrosion internal lining for concrete pits and steel tanks, plus specialized composite automotive body components.
2. How do I request a drawing review, specification calculation, and quotation for custom FRP tanks?
Our quotation process is streamlined into 3 simple steps:
- Submit Requirements: Send us your engineering drawings (CAD/PDF) or basic operational parameters: volume (m³), medium (chemical type, concentration %), operating temperature (°C), design pressure, and site installation constraints.
- Engineering & Structural Sizing: New Viet Han composite engineers conduct FEA/laminate calculations to specify the corrosion barrier thickness, structural reinforcement layers, and optimal resin system.
- Quotation within 2 - 24 hours: You will receive a detailed commercial quotation with material specifications, preliminary 2D/3D approval drawings, and guaranteed production schedules.

The resin matrix dictates chemical resistance and operating life:
- Vinyl Ester Resin (Swancor 901, Derakane 411/470, Ashland Hetron): Premium choice for aggressive inorganic acids (HCl 32%, H2SO4 up to 70-98%, HNO3), hot caustic soda (NaOH 50%), sodium hypochlorite, and solvent environments with continuous operating temperatures up to 100°C - 150°C.
- Isophthalic Polyester Resin: Recommended for moderate corrosive chemicals, organic acids, industrial wastewater, cooling tower casings, seawater intake, and municipal drainage.
- Orthophthalic Polyester Resin: Cost-effective grade suited for standard potable water storage, Septic tanks, rainwater harvesting, and general architectural components.
- Dual-Laminate (Thermoplastic + FRP): For hyper-corrosive chemicals at elevated pressures, New Viet Han produces composite vessels with inner thermoplastic liners (PVC, PP, PVDF) backed by filament-wound FRP structural shells.
All New Viet Han products are designed, fabricated, and tested in accordance with recognized international composite standards:
- ASTM D3299 (USA): Standard Specification for Filament-Wound Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermoset Resin Corrosion-Resistant Tanks.
- ASTM D4097 (USA): Standard Specification for Contact-Molded Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermoset Resin Chemical-Resistant Tanks.
- BS 4994 (British Standard): Specification for design and construction of vessels and tanks in reinforced plastics.
- ASME RTP-1: Reinforced Thermoset Plastic Corrosion-Resistant Equipment standards for chemical processing.
- JIS A 4101 (Japan): Japanese Industrial Standard for FRP prefabricated septic tanks and modular vessels.
- ISO 9001:2015: Certified quality management system controlling raw material traceability, resin formulation, curing stages, and final FAT inspection.
Lead times depend on product type and order volume:
- Molded Products & Standard Septic Tanks: Typically dispatched in 1 to 3 business days from warehouse stock.
- Custom Tanks (1 m³ - 50 m³): Average fabrication lead time is 7 to 15 business days following drawing approval.
- Large Storage Vessels (50 m³ - 250 m³) & Complex Projects: 15 to 25 business days, including post-cure, hydrostatic testing, and QA documentation.
- Turnkey On-Site Lining Projects: Dispatched immediately upon job site handover.
- Export Shipments: Handled via Cat Lai Port / Cai Mep Deep Water Port (Ho Chi Minh City / Ba Ria Vung Tau) with export-compliant seaworthy packing (FCL/OT containers).
Every product undergoes a rigorous 5-step Factory Acceptance Test (FAT):
- Barcol Hardness Test (ASTM D2583): Verifies full resin curing and crosslinking density (Barcol reading ≥ 35 - 40).
- High-Voltage Spark Testing (ASTM D5162): 10,000V - 15,000V holiday spark detector tests the inner corrosion barrier for micro-pinholes or cracks.
- Hydrostatic Water Test: Continuous 24-hour full-water pressure test to verify zero structural leakage or weld seam deformation.
- Ultrasonic Thickness & Dimensional Inspection: Calibrated gauges measure shell thickness and nozzle tolerance to ensure 100% compliance with approved drawings.
- Complete QA Dossier: Mill test reports (MTR), resin batch COA, curing logs, and inspection certificates are supplied with every shipment.
We stand firmly behind the durability and performance of our composite solutions:
- Manufacturer Warranty: 24 to 36 months comprehensive warranty for industrial chemical tanks and piping systems; up to 10 years for prefabricated Septic tanks.
- Expected Working Lifespan: 25 to 30+ years when operated within design chemical concentration and temperature limits.
- Rapid On-Site Support: In the unlikely event of physical impact or nozzle damage during installation, our mobile field repair technicians arrive on site within 24 to 48 hours across Vietnam.
Yes. In addition to factory manufacturing, New Viet Han deploys experienced field teams for complete on-site composite services:
- Concrete Pit & Sump Lining: Internal protective barrier for concrete wastewater basins, electroplating dip tanks, textile dyeing pits, and chemical secondary containment dikes.
- Steel Tank Internal Relining: Rehabilitating corroded carbon steel storage tanks with Vinyl Ester resin and Chopped Strand Mat / Woven Roving reinforcement.
- Flange Joining & Field Erection: Field welding of large diameter FRP duct sections, tower erection, and pipe spool tie-ins.
- All site personnel hold occupational safety, confined space entry, and fire safety certifications.
FRP composite offers significant advantages over metals in chemical processing:
- Zero Chloride Stress Pitting: Stainless steels (SUS304/316) suffer severe pitting and stress-corrosion cracking when exposed to hydrochloric acid or salt spray. FRP is completely immune to galvanic corrosion.
- 70% Lighter Weight: Density of FRP is only 1.6 - 1.9 g/cm³ (compared to 7.85 g/cm³ for steel), significantly reducing foundation loads, crane requirements, and transportation costs.
- Thermal & Electrical Insulation: FRP provides low thermal conductivity (reducing heat loss without bulky insulation jackets) and is non-conductive, ensuring workplace safety.
- Superior Lifecycle Value: Eliminates regular repainting and anti-rust sandblasting, resulting in a 30% - 50% lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
We warmly welcome domestic and international clients, engineering consultants, and third-party inspectors to tour our plant:
- Factory Location: Minh Hung-Korea Industrial Zone, Chon Thanh District, Dong Nai / Binh Phuoc manufacturing hub (approximately 90 minutes drive from Ho Chi Minh City / Tan Son Nhat International Airport).
- Audits & Witness Testing: We regularly facilitate vendor audits, material sampling tests, and third-party witness inspections (SGS, TÜV Rheinland, Bureau Veritas).
- Appointment Scheduling: Please contact our foreign trade desk 48 hours in advance to arrange factory transport, technical meetings, and plant tours.
