Funnel Chute Plate for Boat Construction
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheet is extremely strong against impact, abrasion resistant, and exhibits a low coefficient of friction. The material is also moisture, stain, and odor resistant, and is FDA approved for use in the food processing industry (mainly for cutting boards). The material's durability makes it a perfect match for a variety of applications such as water tanks, chute linings, bottle/bottle cap production and numerous other industrial uses. Borated HDPE offers radiation protection in nuclear facility applications.
SIZES
All sizes of High Density Polyethylene sheet up to 96" x 240" and can cut to size or machine with CNC routers to any desired shape.
PROPERTIES
Rigidity and tensile strength of the HDPE resins are considerably higher than those of the low and medium density materials. Impact strength is slightly lower, as is to be expected in a stiffer material. Values remain high when compared to those of many other thermoplastic materials, especially at low temperatures.
APPLICATIONS
Mechanically ground HDPE resins are used to rotationally mold large, complex shaped products such as fuel tanks, trash containers, dump carts, pallets, agricultural tanks, highway barriers and water and waste tanks for RVs. Additionally, HDPE sheet is often extruded with a pebble finish and is used as a cutting board in a variety of industry markets such as meat packing, butchering, and more.
FDA APPROVED MATERIAL FOR CUTTING BOARDS
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) cutting boards are engineered for durability, low maintenance, and safety. The textured and matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping. The "natural" bright white color is favored for its sanitary look.
Knives stay sharp when cutting on HDPE material since it is a softer plastic material that takes much longer to dull the blade. Because of its unique molecular structure, cuts seal and become indiscernible.
With the savings from replacement knives and the durability of our HDPE cutting boards, long term
What is HDPE?
High density polyethylene (HDPE) is a strong, durable, lightweight, and chemically resistant plastic material popular for a variety of applications. HDPE is easy to fabricate and weld using thermoplastic welding equipment making it an excellent choice for fabricated water tanks and chemical tanks.
HDPE is used in a variety of applications and industries where excellent impact resistance, high tensile strength, low moisture absorption and chemical and corrosion resistance properties are required. And PE has good insulation properties and is easy to weld. The operating temperature of HDPE is from -50°C to +90°C
Benefits of Using HDPE Sheet
HDPE sheeting is popular for a variety of reasons and depending on who you ask; you'll often receive a number of different ideas to what the biggest benefit is. The most notable benefits of HDPE sheet includes:
- Weight: As mentioned before, HDPE is known for being extremely lightweight yet durable.
- Malleability: HDPE is easily molded and transformed into just about any shape or design.
- Resistance: Not only does HDPE sheet feature a high chemical and impact resistance, but it also is resistant to rotting, insects, mildew and mold.
- Weatherability: HDPE sheet is often used for outdoor applications as it can stand some of the most extreme weather.
- Life-Span: Because HDPE has such high impact, chemical, and weather resistance, HDPE can outlast traditional materials.
- Durability: As mentioned earlier, the durability of HDPE while being lightweight is one of the things that contribute to its popularity. If you've ever dropped a child's plastic toy, you've likely experienced the durability of HDPE, as HDPE does not shatter, rather it 'bounces' back.
- Sustainability: HDPE sheeting is recyclable, which is why many recycled plastic products such as recycled plastic lumber and trash cans contain HDPE.
