HDPE

Tough, chemical-resistant, UV-stable workhorse

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a tough, chemical-resistant engineering plastic used in demanding industrial and marine environments. It won't absorb moisture, resists most chemicals, and is FDA-approved for food contact.

Available in black and natural (a white tone), HDPE is easy to machine and weld. It's the material of choice for cutting boards, marine components, and chemical-resistant linings.
