Composite Materials Provide Dimensional Control for Agriculture Applications

Equipment in the agricultural market is subject to harsh environments and must withstand significant abuse. For this reason, manufacturers are shifting their focus toward thermoset Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) for their new product designs, as these composite materials have been tested under the harshest of conditions. Products in this market that benefit from converting to BMC and SMC include:

Trailer components
Snow plow hitches
Sprinkler systems
Equipment cases

Because thermoset BMC and SMC can withstand extended exposure to natural elements, will resist UV deterioration, and provide superior dimensional control, it is proving to be a viable long-term material solution for manufacturers of agricultural equipment.
