ISO Tank Components
Cladding / FRP Sheet
Protective, insulating outer layer (often FRP) that shields tank insulation, aids temperature control, and resists corrosion.
Key Details
- Protection of insulation: The cladding acts as a durable shield, protecting the underlying thermal insulation (such as rock wool or polyurethane foam) from external damage, moisture, and environmental elements.
- Temperature control: For insulated tanks, cladding is essential for maintaining the temperature of sensitive cargo. By protecting the insulation, it minimizes heat transfer between the tank's contents and the external environment, whether to keep the contents warm or cold.
- Corrosion resistance: In addition to protecting the insulation, the cladding material itself offers excellent resistance to corrosion from atmospheric conditions and chemical fumes, extending the lifespan of the tank.
- Low maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of FRP cladding is easy to clean and requires less upkeep compared to other materials, reducing maintenance costs over the tank's operational life.
- Lightweight: FRP cladding is significantly lighter than stainless steel cladding, which reduces the overall weight of the tank and can lead to lower transportation costs.

Product Overview
Cladding, often in the form of Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets, is a protective and insulating layer applied to the outer surface of an ISO tank's stainless steel shell. Its primary purpose is to protect the tank's thermal insulation and help maintain the cargo at a specific temperature.
