Our Mission
The
Institute's Mission is to provide a forum through which
the fiberglass reinforced thermoset plastic ("RTP")
industry can work together effectively toward the common
goal of advancing the use of certain fiberglass products
substantially used in the underground tank and piping
marketplace, coordinate market studies, gather
statistics and combine talents and resources to provide
standard-setting organizations with superior technical
data and disseminate information to the government,
industry and the public.
