Processes <br /> Engineered and tested corrosion resistance. <br /> The Containment Solutions' tank wall is composed of resin;glass and a specially treated silica that together <br /> result in a composite matrix that is compatible with petroleum products, including gasoline, jet fuel, av-gas, a o <br /> motor oil, kerosene, diesel fuel and fuel oil, and up to 100% ethanol and/or methanol blends and oxygenated GEr <br /> motor fuels. Q a <br /> a M <br /> o A <br /> Containment Solutions pioneered and per- <br /> fected the use of a specially treated silica that N <br /> is a part of our laminate matrix. The addition <br /> of this material has been proven to increase <br /> and improve the performance of our laminate • <br /> .a, 4 in all fuels, including alcohols. <br /> Our laminate has been thoroughly tested to <br /> " meet the requirements of UL 1316. Additional <br /> long-term corrosion testing continues at our • <br /> Research and Development Center. This <br /> testing is done in conditions that match actual <br /> installation conditions. This results in data <br /> that can be used to accurately predict the <br /> long-term properties needed for accurate tank <br /> designs. Data has been accumulated for <br /> current fuels and blends as well as its effects <br /> ~ on the laminate after a number of years. This <br /> tpyM <br /> data includes tests on current fuels and <br /> 3' blends and other oxygenates. We are <br /> constantly Testing new products that can be <br /> stored in our tanks in the future. <br /> Our R&D Center never stops asking questions. <br /> We could never maintain our position on the leading edge of fiberglass tank design without an <br /> uncompromising commitment to research and development. Our newly expanded R&D Center gives us the <br /> ability to look at new and promising ways to improve our products, expand our capabilities and better serve <br /> our customer's ever-changing needs. <br /> Our underground tank test pit helps us perfect our product. <br /> Containment Solutions is the only fiberglass tank manufacturer that studies tanks in all buried conditions and <br /> configurations. To do this, we constructed a full-scale test pit at our Conroe, Texas R&D Center, which allows <br /> us to test various tank designs with different backfill materials, anchoring methods, groundwater conditions <br /> and many other variables. <br /> oil <br /> LL_ <br /> 5 <br />
