Intended Uses and Applications

Intended Uses and ApplicationsAgricultural Equipment

According to UN projections, there is growing concern about global population growth and resulting food shortages. The agricultural population is expected to continue to decrease while, at the same time, the average age of populations is expected to continue rising. Furthermore, robotizing agricultural equipment is becoming increasingly important for greater productivity and labor efficiency.
Requirements for vehicles, including their exterior parts, have become more diverse in nature. Because of its well-balanced properties (rigidity, impact strength, heat resistance), productivity, and design flexibility, PDCP is widely used as an alternative to sheet metal and fiber-reinforced resin. Looking ahead, we will continue contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.

Example Application OneTractor Bonnets

Tractor Bonnets

Reasons

  • High impact strength
  • High degree of design flexibility (easily accommodates openings and streamlined shapes)
  • Significant economic benefits (molding equipment costs less than that for other methods)
  • Easy to join and paint (easy to join assembly parts)
  • Lightweight
  • Heat resistance
