How have Composite Cylinders acted as a Superb Alternative to Traditional Metal Cylinders
FMI predicts that composite cylinder tanks are applied in a wide range of industries, including water filtration plants and the petrochemical sector. Polymer is repetition of monomers, to form a macromolecule. It is primarily used in the packaging of food, electronics, and medicines.
Polymer reduces spilling of food and extends its shelf life by acting as a barrier material in packaging. Being light weight, plastics save energy in transportation of wooden materials, electronics, and other products.
Plastics are also used in the manufacture of automotive parts, electronic gadgets, etc. They are durable and economical. Therefore, their usage is high in developing and developed countries.
A composite cylinder is a three-layer cylinder made up of a blow-molded HDPE inner liner, covered with composite layer of polymer-wrapped fiber glass and fitted with a HDPE outer jacket. Composite cylinders are used as an alternative to steel cylinders.
These are light weight, UV- protected, explosion proof, and non-corrosive. Additionally, composite cylinders are stain proof and indicate the level of gas in the cylinder, as it is translucent. Being lighter in weight, these cylinders can be easily transported. This helps lower the cost of transportation.
A report from Future Market Insights suggests that the composite cylinder has emerged are as a superb alternative for traditional metal cylinders. Composite cylinder being made of plastic material are extremely light and easy to handle in comparison with metal cylinders. The partial or full use of plastic in the manufacturing of Composite cylinder helps cooking gas suppliers and end users to leverage the physical properties of plastic & glass fiber material.
Composite cylinder has high resistance against corrosion and UV light hence qualifying it as a perfect solution for gas storage. The composite cylinder is also technologically advanced over traditional cylinders due to their explosion-proof technology. The truculent body of the Composite cylinder allows end users to keep a check on the level of gas inside the vessel while using and buying without the help of any measuring instrument.
Composite materials in particular have a significant capability of producing materials with intriguing mechanical properties, particularly in terms of specific rigidity, impact resistance, high durability, and energy dissipation capabilities. Fiber-reinforced composite tanks are an excellent illustration of the benefits that these composites may provide.
They are made of tough fibers combined with resin or plastic. Initially, composite containers were created for aeronautical uses. Such containers are now applied in a wide range of industries, including water filtration plants and the petrochemical sector.

Composite Cylinder market: Market Dynamics
For regular functioning, every business or operation relies heavily on energy obtained from fossil fuels and increased usage of composite cylinders for fulfilling the energy needs are driving the growth in composite cylinders market. Preference of end users for composite cylinders due to its ease of handling and partial visibility is driving the demand in composite cylinder market.
Composite cylinders being explosion proof is another important factor supporting the growth is composite cylinders market. Apart from light weight and partial visibility composite cylinders are manufactured using recyclable materials which reduce its manufacturing and maintenance cost and thus benefitting the overall value chain by reducing cost operations for businesses and other entities.
Composite cylinders are also available with colorful outer casing and barcode application which can help suppliers in handling and tracking cylinders more efficiently. Some additional features available with composite cylinders such integrated chips for providing information regarding the life of the composite cylinder.
However, some end users may speculate the safety regarding the use of plastic for packaging of gas as the consumers are habitual for using steel cylinders which can limit the pace of growth in composite cylinder market. Introduction of gas pipe line has eliminated the need for cylinders hence hampering composite cylinder market significantly.
Over the forecast period despite all the speculations the use of composite cylinders is poised to increase in many end-use industries due to the need for gas from a portable source is pushing the consumption of composite cylinders across the globe.
