Case Study: Diesel Tanks for Agricultural Equipment

Lightweight, Durable, and Built to Last—Powered by Icorene

Industry: Agriculture

Application: Diesel Tanks in Tractors and Combines

Solution: Icorene® 1615 and/or Icorene® 1614


The Challenge

Manufacturers of agricultural equipment need more than just strength from their fuel tanks—they need long-term durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of processing. Traditional metal tanks often fall short in harsh outdoor conditions, adding unnecessary weight, risk of rust, and higher production costs. With tractors and combines operating in tough, demanding environments, the industry needed a smarter, more efficient alternative.


Our Solution: Icorene® 1615 / 1614

We introduced Icorene 1615 and Icorene 1614, two rotational molding compounds specifically developed to meet the rigorous demands of agricultural fuel tank applications. These materials offered an ideal balance of performance, processability, and environmental benefits, making them a perfect fit for rotomolded diesel tanks.


Key Benefits

  • Weight Savings: Lighter than metal, helping reduce overall machine weight and improve fuel efficiency.
  • Corrosion Resistant: No rust, no compromise—ideal for storing diesel in outdoor agricultural settings.
  • No Odor: Engineered for clean performance with no fuel smell retention.
  • Easy to Mold: Offers excellent flow characteristics and cycle times, improving production efficiency.
  • Fully Recyclable: Post-molding recyclability supports sustainability efforts.
  • Tested and Approved: Successfully tested and TÜV certified, ensuring reliability and compliance with industry standards.
  • Globally Available: Supported by our global supply network for consistent quality and delivery.

The Result

Using Icorene® 1615/1614 have seen measurable improvements in production and performance. Lighter tanks reduced equipment weight without sacrificing durability, while corrosion resistance and odor control enhanced user satisfaction and product longevity. The material’s moldability allowed faster cycle times and greater design flexibility on the production floor. With certification in place and global supply assurance, Icorene® has become the material of choice for agricultural diesel tanks around the world.


Ready to Upgrade Your Tank Design?

Whether you're designing tanks for tractors, combines, or other heavy-duty equipment, Icorene® 1615 and 1614 deliver the performance you need—without the headaches of traditional materials. Let’s work together to build smarter, lighter, and longer-lasting solutions.
