INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for Recreation

Grain doesn't slide on rusted steel, and bearings don't get greased in the middle of harvest. Plastics earn their keep on farm and ranch equipment by shedding product cleanly, running without lubrication, and shrugging off corrosion, impact and UV. We stock the wear-part materials ag equipment runs on and cut them to your dimensions.

Common Recreation Applications

  • Swimming pools — water treatment, pool enclosures, diving boards, piping
  • Snowmobiles — skis, slide suspensions, sprockets, fuel lines, windshields, bumpers, bearings and bushings
  • Amusement park rides — signage, housings, wheels, bumpers/rub rails, benches, piping, canopies
  • Bowling alleys — pin guides, kick plates, ball returns, rollers
  • Reproductions of jukeboxes — windows, housings
  • Hockey shielding and dasher systems
  • Playground equipment
  • Parks — picnic tables, basketball backboards
  • Piping
  • Waterslides
  • Signage
  • Skylights

Why Plastics Win

  • Weather, UV, fire and chemical resistant
  • Sound deadening/attenuation
  • Impact and wear resistance
  • Provides variety of rolling resistances, load bearing capacities and hysteresis characteristics (for roller coaster designs)
  • Shatterproof
  • Easy to fabricate and thermoform
  • Lower incidents of breakage means less need to maintain replacement stock
  • Available in many colors
  • Allows maximum daylight into interior spaces
  • Can withstand extreme temperatures
  • Thermal insulation
  • Reduces heat build-up in hot climates
  • Less breakage means safer designs
