This horse feeding trough is produced by injection molding using modified HDPE material.
To improve long-term structural stability, two additional modified compounds are added to the HDPE base material.
The specific formulation is part of our internal technical work and remains confidential.
The base HDPE material itself is food-grade and naturally BPA-free.
However, regarding color masterbatch materials, we prefer to remain realistic and cautious.
In the current Chinese market, many color masterbatch suppliers claim food-grade compliance, sometimes even with supporting reports.
But actual long-term batch consistency and real production quality can vary significantly between suppliers.
For this reason, we do not make exaggerated food-contact claims for the complete product, and instead prefer to describe the material situation honestly.
UV stabilizers are added to improve long-term outdoor performance.
One important focus during material development was maintaining toughness and impact resistance under low-temperature conditions.
The modified HDPE formulation is designed for outdoor farm environments with working temperatures approximately between -30°C and +60°C.
Compared with many low-cost recycled plastic products, the structure maintains better flexibility during winter conditions while reducing cracking risks caused by repeated impact.
Structurally, additional reinforcement is applied around the hook areas to reduce deformation risks during long-term loading.
The overall shape is also designed around horse feeding behavior while remaining easier for daily cleaning.
During internal testing, the product was subjected to approximately one ton of compression pressure without cracking or structural collapse.
We also continue observing long-term performance under UV exposure, low temperatures and outdoor farm environments, including colder winter regions.
Currently available in three length versions:
80 cm
100 cm
120 cm
Actual capacity may vary depending on installation angle, practical usage conditions and labeling standards used in different markets, therefore no absolute volume claims are made here.
The molds are internally owned, while production parameters and supplier management remain under controlled conditions.
Current MOQ is 10 pieces, with a standard lead time of approximately 3 days.
Rather than focusing on aggressive marketing language, we care more about:
real materials,
stable batch consistency,
and practical long-term performance.
SLHER focuses more on real long-term product performance than short-term marketing language.
