Agriculture/ Irrigation

Modern industrial agriculture includes crop cultivation, water management, fertilization, pest management, harvesting, post-harvest treatment, transportation, and packaging. The tools and machines used in each of these stages make significant use of various rubber materials and products.

Use of Seals in the Agricultural Industry
The many rubber and elastomer products used in the agricultural industry have diverse requirements, depending on the specific usage circumstances. Common requirements are resistance to weather conditions, the ability to withstand heat, cold, frost, particularly humid or dry environments, ozone impact resistance, UV radiation resistance, and impermeability to a variety of agricultural chemicals (chemicals, nutrients, and pesticides) commonly used in the industry.

Rubber components are used in irrigation products such as hoses, drip lines, sprayers, sprinklers, misting devices, filters, valves, faucets, and pumps, as well as in machines like tractors, plows, planting machines, harvesters, sorting machines, and packaging machines. They are also used in the construction of special environments like greenhouses and hydroponic growth systems.

Each process, along with the relevant environmental variables for that process, will determine the most suitable types of rubber components for each specific situation.
