What Is Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology?

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology is an advanced coating process where specially formulated glass is fused under high temperature (typically 820°C to 930°C) to hot-rolled steel panels. During this high-temperature process, the molten glass chemically bonds with the steel substrate, forming a permanent inorganic enamel layer with exceptional performance characteristics.

Core Attributes of GFS Technology

Permanent bond — The glass cannot peel, blister, or delaminate like organic coatings.

Corrosion resistance — Inert glass resists chemical attack from water impurities, oxygen, and environmental agents.

Smooth, non-porous surface — Ideal for hygienic water storage with minimal biofilm adhesion.

Impermeability — Completely prevents water and gas permeability.

Impact and abrasion resistance — Highly durable against physical wear and tear.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks combine steel’s structural strength with glass’s chemical resistance, making them superior to traditional concrete, painted steel, epoxy-coated tanks, or fiberglass solutions.

Why GFS Tanks Are the Optimal Choice for Water Storage

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance

Water storage tanks are constantly in contact with moisture, dissolved oxygen, minerals, and occasionally treatment chemicals. GFS coatings protect steel from rust, pitting, and chemical degradation over decades — a major advantage over conventional coatings that deteriorate over time.

2. Hygienic Non-Porous Surface

The smooth glass interior prevents microorganisms, sediment, and biofilm from adhering to the surface, supporting water quality and reducing cleaning frequency. For potable water applications, this surface helps maintain hygiene and safety.

3. Leak-Proof Structural Integrity

GFS tanks provide gas and liquid impermeability, removing the risk of seepage that can contaminate soil or groundwater. This makes GFS tanks ideal for municipalities, industrial sites, agriculture, and emergency storage.

4. Long Service Life

With a typical design service life of 30 years or more, GFS tanks significantly outperform many conventional materials that suffer from corrosion, cracking, or coating failure. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and minimal intervention.

5. Modular Bolted Construction

Center Enamel’s GFS tanks use a bolted modular design that allows:

Rapid and safe on-site assembly

Reduced construction time and labor

Efficient transportation to remote or restricted sites

Flexibility for future expansion or relocation

6. Wide Range of Customization

Tanks can be customized by size, shape, roof type, color, accessories, and integration features to meet project-specific requirements.
