Applications

Polymers are revolutionizing agriculture through durability, cost efficiency, and climate control capabilities. The global demand for agricultural polymers continues to rise recently. Demand surges for UV-stabilized, chemical-resistant materials as precision farming and protected cultivation expand globally.

Characteristics of Greenhouse & Agriculture Applications:

✤ Harsh Exposure: Intense UV, rain, pesticides, fertilizers.

✤ Constant Moisture: Fungal/microbial growth risks.

✤ Mechanical Stress: Equipment vibration, impact (hail/wind).

✤ Temperature Extremes: -10°C to 60°C swings.

Materials must meet specific properties as below:

Critical Property Requirements:

✤ UV Stability: 5-10+ year lifespan under sunlight (UV additives critical).

✤ Chemical Resistance: Withstand pesticides, fertilizers, acids.

✤ Impact Strength: Resist hail/stones (e.g., greenhouse panels).

✤ Flexibility: For films/tubes in dynamic use.

✤ Non-Toxicity: Safe for soil/water contact (RoHS, FDA for edible crops).

Recommended Materials for Greenhouse & Agriculture Applications:

✤ Greenhouse: PC corrugated roofing, HDPE clamp profiles

✤ Irrigation: PP dripper fittings, EPDM valve seals

✤ Crop Management: PE mulch films, nylon plant support clips

✤ Machinery: UHMWPE combine harvester chute liners

✤ Storage: HDPE silo bins, PP grain scoops

✤ HDPE: Irrigation pipes, silo liners, pond liners

✤ PP: Seedling trays, fertilizer bags, bale twine

✤ PC: Greenhouse roofing, storm-proof panels

✤ PVC: Hose pipes, greenhouse films (seasonal)

✤ Nylon (PA): Gear parts, conveyor components

✤ UHMWPE：Harvester guides, hopper liners

✤ Rubber (EPDM)：Seals for irrigation systems, gaskets

✤ Acrylic (PMMA)：Propagation domes, light diffusers

✤ PTFE: Anti-stick coatings, advanced irrigation

Note: PVC films are budget short-term options; PC/HDPE preferred for long-term UV resistance.
