Storage Tanks & Vessels
Laybond Fiberglass chemical storage tanks are used for chemicals in virtually every industry especially those that involve caustic or corrosive chemicals. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic chemical storage tanks are especially well suited to store: bleach, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, hydrochloride acid, as well as other aggressive chemicals.
No matter how large or small, Laybond Fiberglass brings world class engineering to each project and offers unprecedented capacity to produce quality, complicated projects at the speed modern industry demands without sacrificing quality or safety. We engineer and manufacture chemical storage tanks in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and configurations according to the design as per BS 4994-1987. While the majority of these tanks are cylindrical, Laybond Fiberglass can supply rectangular or other custom shapes to meet the exacting demands of our customers.
Laybond offers the lowest shipping rates and can also provide custom-made fittings for all chemical holding tanks including flanged nozzles, threaded couplings, access and view ports, level gauges, internal baffles, agitator supports, ladders, platforms and handrail systems.
These tanks have proper lifting and shifting arrangement for handling.
We also offer on-site installation, Commissioning, maintenance, repairs, modifications & emergency services.
Flat Bottom tanks are the most common used tanks in the industry. All Flat Bottoms are designed in accordance with ASTM D-3299 or D-4097 standards. They are the most cost effective way to store product. The tank flat bottom requires a flat surface to give full support.
Closed Dome Top
This is the most frequently requested top style. The ASME Flanged & Dished design gives it the most strength without adding thickness. Each domed top comes standard with a top manhole with loose cover.
Closed Flat Top
A fixed, non-removable, flat surface. If head space is at a premium, if agitator rails are a requirement or flat walking surface is required, the Closed Flat Top may be the best choice.
Open Top with 90°Top Flanged Rim
Open Top with 90°Top Flanged Rim” in images folder. When a Flat Cover, agitator rails or full access to the tank is required, the Open Top with 90° Top Flanged Rim option is the best choice.
Open Top with Type II Top Rim
When an open top will work and a Flat Cover and agitator rails are not required, this offers the most cost effective Flat Bottom tank design available.
Sloped Bottom tanks are offered as both Internal and External. All Sloped Bottoms are designed in accordance with ASTM D-3299 or D-4097 standards. Internal Sloped Bottoms come standard with a 1” minor and bottom core to sit flat on your support pad. External Sloped Bottoms require the customer to provide a sloped support pad. Laybond's standard pitch is ¼ inch per foot to allow drainage to the low side of the slope. Either bottom design requires full bottom support.
After selecting the Sloped Bottom design, selecting the right top is the next step of the process.

Open Top with Type II Top Rim
When an open top will work and a Flat Cover and agitator rails are not required, this offers the most cost effective Flat Bottom tank design available.
Cone Bottom tanks offer complete drainage. Laybond standard cone apex angle is 90°. All Cone Bottoms are designed in accordance with ASTM D-3299 or D-4097 standards for elevated cone heads. Cone Bottom tanks come standard with a primed carbon steel pipe leg stand with floor plates and a standard 18” under clearance from the tank bottom to the floor plates. Therefore, when complete drainage is an absolute must, the Cone Bottom design is the only choice.
Leg stands can be provided as painted carbon steel, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), T-304 or T-316 stainless steel pipe legs or FRP skirt support, at additional cost.
After selecting the Cone Bottom design, selecting the right top is the next step of the process.

Open Top with Type II Top Rim
When an open top will work and a Flat Cover and agitator rails are not required, this offers the most cost effective Flat Bottom tank design available.
Dished Bottom tanks offer near complete drainage. All Dished Bottoms are designed in accordance with ASTM D-3299 or D-4097 standards for elevated ASME Flanged & Dished torispherical heads. Dished Bottom tanks come standard with a primed carbon steel pipe leg stand with floor plates and a standard 18” under clearance from the tank bottom to the floor plates. When head pressure is required at the output, the Dished Bottom design is the most cost effective choice. Leg stands can be provided as painted carbon steel, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), T-304 or T-316 stainless steel pipe legs or FRP skirt support, at additional cost. After selecting the Dished Bottom design, selecting the right top is the next step of the process.

Horizontal tanks are a great choice when floor space is not an issue and head room is at a minimum. The Horizontal tank ends are ASME Flanged & Dished for added strength and capacity. Horizontal tanks come standard with a minimum of two primed carbon steel support saddles which provide a standard 12” under clearance from the tank bottom to the bottom of the saddles.
Support saddles can be provided as painted carbon steel, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), T-304 or T-316 stainless steel, at additional cost.
Laybond has manufactured its Products using a wide variety of existing resin materials to meet our customers exacting specifications. Our current thermoset resin systems include Polyester, Bisphenol and Vinyl Ester. Where FRP will not work, dual laminate Products can, in many instances, serve well.
Dual laminate is a hybrid system made of FRP structure outside and specialized thermoplastic liner inside. The liner is matched to specific chemical requirements to optimize longevity including the ability to withstand high temperature requirements and abrasion resistance.
Dual laminated Tanks and Equipments are manufactured with a durable fibreglass composite matrix exterior for mechanical strength. The corrosion resistant thermoplastic interior offers exceptional service against dangerous and hazardous chemistry. It offers superior resistance to leaching agents, chemical attack as well as high purity process capabilities.
