In construction and building 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.
The notes below come from day to day production and export work with overseas buyers.
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 shade net 30% to 95%; mulch film 8 to 50 micron; greenhouse film 100 to 200 micron. Materials most often specified are High Density Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Low Density Polyethylene, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the construction and building sector the decision is usually driven by weather resistance and fire classification, with long service life as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include drainage pipe, facade cladding, formwork panels.
These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene | 0.90-0.91 g/cm³ | 25-40 MPa | -10°C to 100°C |
| Low Density Polyethylene | 0.91-0.93 g/cm³ | 8-20 MPa | -50°C to 70°C |
| High Density Polyethylene | 0.94-0.97 g/cm³ | 20-32 MPa | -50°C to 80°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.
Processing method drives both cost and performance, so it should be fixed early in the design.
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.
Use this checklist when comparing two or three supplier quotations.
Send this list to your supplier with the drawing and you will receive comparable quotations from every factory you contact.
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.
Colour is controlled with a masterbatch reference approved by the customer, and every production lot is checked against the approved sample under standard lighting before shipment.
Share your specification and quantity with us and we will recommend the most cost effective material, tooling route and packing method for your market.
