Agriculture
Materials designed for demanding field conditions.
Politem develops compounds for agricultural equipment and systems exposed to sunlight, moisture, impact, chemicals and repeated outdoor use.
Performance Beyond the Factory Floor
Agricultural components must perform through seasonal temperature changes, outdoor exposure, dust, water and contact with fertilisers, oils or cleaning agents. Reliable processing and part durability are equally important for equipment manufacturers.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
|
• Irrigation connectors and fittings |
• Valve and pump housings |
|
• Nozzles and fluid-control components |
• Machinery covers and guards |
|
• Handles, levers and controls |
• Clips and fastening elements |
|
• Sensor and electronic housings |
• Seed and fertiliser equipment parts |
|
• Greenhouse components |
• Cable and hose-management parts |
Material and Technology Portfolio
Material solutions can combine reinforcement, impact modification, UV stabilisation, hydrolysis resistance and recycled content according to exposure and loading conditions.
|
Material Platform |
Relevant Technologies |
|
PA6 and PA66 |
Reinforced, impact-modified, heat-stabilised and hydrolysis-resistant grades |
|
PP |
UV-stabilised, mineral or glass-fibre reinforced, impact-modified and recycled-content options |
|
PBT |
Dimensional stability and electrical performance for sensors and control components |
|
ASA |
Weather and UV resistance for visible outdoor parts |
|
POM |
Low friction, wear resistance and dimensional consistency for moving mechanisms |
Performance Priorities
Material selection starts with exposure conditions, load, expected lifetime and the media contacting the part.
|
• Long-term UV resistance |
• Weathering performance |
|
• Impact resistance |
• Chemical and fertiliser resistance |
|
• Hydrolysis resistance |
• Wear and low friction |
|
• Dimensional stability |
• Mechanical strength |
|
• Colour stability |
• PCR and PIR content options |
Application Driven Development
Politem works with component producers to define exposure conditions and translate them into stabilisation, reinforcement and toughness targets. Recycled-content solutions are assessed against the same application requirements as conventional grades.
TESTING AND VALIDATION
Testing may include mechanical, thermal, dimensional, UV or weathering, moisture and chemical-resistance evaluation. Exposure medium, concentration, temperature and duration are defined with the customer before testing.
