The three types of mechanical draft towers: All of the above mentioned terms should not be confused
with reinforced thermoplastic which is entirely different. There is a
Forced draft cooling tower: wide selection of thermoset resins available for most corrosion
resistant applications. Unlike thermoplastics, thermoset plastics have
a highly cross linked molecular structure. The result is a flexural,
tensile strength, and temperature performance.
