In textile and garment projects, agricultural plastic products is only acceptable when the paperwork is right. This article maps the standards, test methods and documents you should ask for.
This guide is written for engineers, purchasers and project managers who need a practical answer, not a resin data sheet.
This category covers a family of products rather than a single item. In practice a buyer defines agricultural plastic products by three things: the base resin, the format or dimension, and the performance or certification level it has to meet. Typical options in this category include greenhouse film 100 to 200 micron; shade net 30% to 95%; drip line 16 mm with 0.2 L/h emitters. Materials most often specified are Low Density Polyethylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, High Density Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the textile and garment sector the decision is usually driven by flexibility and abrasion resistance, with colour fastness as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include fibre and filament, zipper components, buttons and buckles.
The table below summarises the values that usually decide the material choice.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polyvinyl Chloride | 1.38-1.45 g/cm³ | 40-55 MPa | -10°C to 60°C |
| Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | 0.93-0.95 g/cm³ | 10-30 MPa | -40°C to 70°C |
| Polypropylene | 0.90-0.91 g/cm³ | 25-40 MPa | -10°C to 100°C |
Low Density Polyethylene is frequently the default selection here: LDPE is the workhorse of flexible packaging because of its softness and sealing behaviour.
The following standards are the ones most often referenced in this product category.
Ask the supplier to state the standard number, the test method and the result on the certificate. A test report without a standard reference is difficult to defend during an audit.
Beyond the base resin, most suppliers offer UV stabilised, food contact, flame retardant, anti-static and recycled content versions of the same product. Ask which additive package is included, because it is often the difference between a part that lasts three years and one that lasts ten.
Each step below has its own control points, and skipping one of them is where most defects start.
Secondary operations such as printing, welding, machining and assembly are often cheaper to do in the same factory, and they reduce the risk of mismatch between components.
These are the criteria that actually predict whether the part will perform in service.
Send this list to your supplier with the drawing and you will receive comparable quotations from every factory you contact.
A new tool typically takes 25 to 45 days depending on cavity count and complexity, followed by T1 samples within one week. Existing tools can usually start production within 10 to 15 days of order confirmation.
Yes. {mat1} is one of our regular materials for this item, and we can supply virgin, modified and certified grades with full traceability. Material certificates and test reports are issued per batch.
Standard packing is export cartons on fumigation-free pallets, with custom labelling, barcode and retail packing available. We also handle consolidated containers and door to door delivery.
Yes. Standard samples are normally free of charge and shipped within three working days; custom samples are charged at cost and credited against the first production order.
We can provide ISO 9001 quality system documentation, material certificates, RoHS and REACH statements, and where applicable food contact, flame retardancy or drinking water approvals. Tell us your target market and we will match the document set.
Share your specification and quantity with us and we will recommend the most cost effective material, tooling route and packing method for your market.
