About this Material
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a tough, chemical-resistant plastic used throughout industry, food processing, and marine applications. It has excellent wear resistance and is easy to machine and fabricate.
HDPE is FDA approved for food contact applications, making it the standard choice for commercial kitchen cutting boards, food processing equipment, and marine use. It's resistant to most chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation. Self-lubricating properties make it ideal for sliding components and wear strips.
