Every year, the applications of plastics in industry is growing. The Agricultural industry is no exception and we expect to see continued growth here in the coming years. Agricultural equipment manufacturers, stockyards, race tracks, grain elevators and storage facilities, crane transporters/trucks/rail cars, farmers, and farm supply stores can all incorporate plastics into their operations.

The Agricultural industry is well suited to mechanical plastics, high performance plastics, UHMW, and Polyolefins. These plastics offer non-stick surfaces, self lubricating qualities, wear resistance, low operating temperature, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, extended machine life, and low maintenance costs.

UHMW-Virgin & Reprocessed, Acetal, Nylon, HDPE, and Polyurethane are recommended products plastics for the following uses:

• Silo liners
