Aquafarming
Plastics for Fish and Marine Animal Breeding
Aquafarming – Plastics for cost-efficient and reliable fish and marine animal breeding
Aquafarms are becoming ever more important. Overfishing of seas has drastically reduced fish stocks. The world population is growing and the demand for food is rising. Modern aquafarms help to provide controlled breeding and reproduction of fishand aquatic organisms such as mussels, shrimps and algae. Cost-efficient and reliable breeding requires a lot of know-how, dedication and, above all, efficient systems. At the same time, breeders must meet high requirements for animal health and food safety. We support you in this task with our plastics. With a high corrosion resistance and mechanical stability our materials are a perfect fit for the special requirements of aquaculture. They play an important role in durable, low-maintenance and cost-effective aquafarms around the world.
Your advantages
- Durable & low-maintenance: excellent resistance to corrosive salt water
- High degree of mechanical stability
- High UV stability
- Hygienic: easy to clean with common cleaning agents and disinfectants
- Excellent processing characteristics
Typical application areas
- Onshore fish farming tanks for salt water and freshwater fish
- Offshore fish farms
- Recirculation facilities

Arrange technical advice
A range of factors determine the performance and service life of materials and equipment for aquaculture. To make the right choice and find the right design, these factors must be taken into account. For example:
- Contact with corrosive seawater
- Weather (UV) and abrasion (sand/waves)
- Contact with cleaning agents and disinfectants
- Mechanical stress
- Weight
