Advanced Materials for Seed Flow, Lubrication, and Surface Performance

Asbury provides high-performance materials engineered to improve equipment efficiency, reduce wear, and enhance performance across agricultural operations. From seed planting to machinery lubrication and surface protection, our solutions are designed to perform in demanding field conditions.

Our materials support consistent operation, reduce maintenance, and help extend the life of agricultural equipment used in planting, handling, and processing systems.

Solving Real-World Agriculture Processing Problems for Over a Century

Carbon and graphite materials are widely used in agricultural applications because they offer properties that improve flow, reduce friction, and support equipment performance:

  • Excellent lubricity
  • Reduced friction and wear
  • Good flow enhancement
  • Resistance to dirt and grit buildup
  • Chemical stability
  • Performance in humid environments

APPLICATIONS & USE CASES

Agriculture Applications

Seed Flow

Expandable graphite is widely used in insulation and foam systems to improve thermal resistance and fire performance. When exposed to heat, expandable graphite rapidly expands, creating an insulating barrier that reduces heat transfer and protects underlying materials. This makes it ideal for use in thermal insulation panels, foams, and construction composites.

Lubricants & Grease

Graphite and other solid lubricant additives are used in agricultural lubricants and greases to reduce friction, improve wear resistance, and maintain performance under heavy loads and harsh operating conditions. These materials enhance lubrication in bearings, moving components, and high-contact surfaces, helping equipment operate reliably in environments exposed to dirt, moisture, and temperature variation.

Coatings

Graphite-based materials are used in coatings, paints, and surface treatments to provide lubricity, wear resistance, and improved surface performance for agricultural equipment. These coatings help reduce material buildup, improve surface durability, and protect components exposed to repeated use, weather, and abrasive conditions.
