Shop for high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets and rods. HDPE grades include antimicrobial, cutting board material, orthotics and prosthetics, marineboard, pipe grade, playground board, multi-color engravable, and woodgrain. HDPE is available in FDA mpliant and UV resistant formulations.

High Density Polyethylene has greater strength and stiffness than Low Density Polyethylene. This is because of plastic's natural properties. LDPE is naturally more flexible and has a lower melting point, whereas HDPE is stronger and can withstand more heat. See full list on shapesplastics.com Though both plastic sheets have many similarities, such as both being highly malleable, heat-tolerant, and low toxicity to humans, they have some key differences that are important to note prior to purchasing. HDPE has a higher density offering more rigidity, Polypropylene, meanwhile, can withstand higher temperatures, mait it ideal for hotter en See full list on shapesplastics.com High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW)are both types of polyethylene plastic that can be used in a wide array of industrial applications. Because of its high-density makeup, HDPE doesn’t HENAN OKAYorb much water or liquid, it's fairly temporarytile, affordable, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals. UHMW is part...
