Record copper prices are unlocking mine expansions and new processing capacity. Here is what the 2026 copper CapEx cycle means for corrosion-resistant FRP tanks, ductwork and process equipment.
Arizona has become one of the most important semiconductor manufacturing centers in the United States. The state has attracted major investments across wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, semiconductor equipment, materials, research and the infrastructure that supports these operations. Public attention naturally focuses on cleanrooms and chip-making tools. Behind those environments, however, a semiconductor facility depends on … Read more
USMCA has shifted to annual review, adding uncertainty to North American mining and critical-minerals projects. Why corrosion-resistant FRP tanks, vessels and process equipment, built in the US and Mexico, help operators de-risk supply and origin.
Industrial off-gas handling is one of the most demanding jobs in composites. Ductwork carrying corrosive, high-temperature process gas has to survive sulfur-bearing gases, acidic condensate, abrasive solids, vacuum and constant thermal cycling — and still run for decades. Get the material and structural design right and FRP ductwork far outlasts metal; get it wrong and … Read more
Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona and manufacturing in the US, Mexico and China, Crimar Industrial backs FRP tanks and mining equipment with seven global offices, SBCCO-China quality oversight, and end-to-end project management across four continents.
Crimar Industrial has been devoted to the design, fabrication and installation of large-diameter fiberglass tanks for over three decades. Global companies such as FLSmidth, Glencore, M3 Engineering, Technip, Hatch, Biorem, CODELCO, Freeport-McMoRan, WesTech and SNC-Lavalin regularly partner with us on projects spanning North and South America, Africa, China, Australia, the Philippines and Eastern Europe.

One aspect of fiberglass products that requires careful consideration is abrasion resistance. By introducing additives such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide to interior surfaces, FRP can be significantly reinforced to withstand abrasion — particularly effective in mixing tanks up to the agitator level, inlet piping for desalination plants, splitter nozzles and similar applications. Nine … Read more
