Due to highly demanding work environments, damage resistance is one of many reasons Telene® is favored by manufacturers of tractors, combines, and other farm equipment.
Telene® body panels retain high impact resistance at extremely low temperatures. Likewise, they resist distortion in high temperature environments that occur in proximity to combustion engines and exhaust pipes.
Telene® is the lightweight alternative to steel with a 20+ year proven track record of long-lasting, aesthetically designed farm equipment.

Applications
01
Engine Hoods
Design versatility, temperature resistance, and integration of functions combined with a superior finish makes PDCPD the material of choice for tractor hood design and manufacture. Design of a complex shaped “monoblock” hood with PDCPD offers optimal weight reduction while lowering production cost.
Benefit of Telene® for this application:
- Design Versatility
- High HDT
- High Impact Resistance
- Premium Surface Quality
- Weight savings up to 30%
- Vibration Resistance
- Competitive Cost
02
Tractor Fenders
Integrate long lasting aesthetic and function into one of the most exposed tractor body panels! Highly variable thickness allows the designer to allocate stiffness where it matters and provide adequate protection for lighting and control panels. Telene®’s superior wave transparency also responds to the growing interest in sensor integration for connected tractors.
Benefit of Telene® for this application:
- Impact Resistance
- High Surface Quality
- Design Versatility
- Weight savings up to 30% (up to 20% vs standard Composite Material; up to 30% vs metal sheet)
- Radio Transparency
- Vibration Resistance
- Competitive Cost
03
Combine Body Panels
Body panels for these massive vehicles require a complex and easy to open but stiff design. Telene® offers the alternative of producing large and deep panels that integrate functional elements at an affordable cost without reducing the surface quality finish and durable performance required by modern farming.
Benefit of Telene® for this application:
- High Surface Quality
- Weight savings up to 30%
- Impact & Vibration Resistance
- High HDT
- Design Versatility
- Competitive Cost
Why Telene®?
Telene® and its customer demonstrated how using Telene® with the RIM injection molding process could reduce weight. The low viscosity of Telene® allowed a long flow path, enabling integration of functional elements into a large part with very little afterwork required. Telene®‘s Class A surface and excellent paint adhesion made finish work much less labor intensive.
