In home appliance 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.
Use it as a working checklist when you write your next enquiry.
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; drip line 16 mm with 0.2 L/h emitters; shade net 30% to 95%. Materials most often specified are Polyvinyl Chloride, Polypropylene, High Density Polyethylene, Low Density Polyethylene, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the home appliance sector the decision is usually driven by heat resistance and noise control, with colour consistency as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include vacuum housings, control panels, refrigerator liners.
Typical values for a general purpose grade are listed below; filled, stabilised and speciality compounds will differ.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Density Polyethylene | 0.91-0.93 g/cm³ | 8-20 MPa | -50°C to 70°C |
| Polyvinyl Chloride | 1.38-1.45 g/cm³ | 40-55 MPa | -10°C to 60°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.
Ask for the certificate number and test report, not just a claim of compliance.
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.
The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.
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. 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.
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.
For standard sizes and colours the minimum is usually one pallet or one production run; for custom tooling the economic minimum depends on the tooling cost amortised over the expected volume. Send us your annual volume and we will calculate the break even point.
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.
Our team supplies agricultural plastic products to home appliance customers worldwide, with samples, material certificates and full inspection reports available before mass production.
