High Density Polyethylene

High Density Polyethylene

also commonly referred to as HDPE and Chopping Board

HDPE is a rigid, high tensile strength sheet that is resistant to both hot and cold temperature extremes. It is part of the polyolefin family of materials and offers high impact strength, high chemical resistance, and very low water absorption.

It is UV stable and is available in a natural (opaque) colour with thickness ranging from 3mm to 25mm.

The standard sheet size is 2440mm x 1220mm but there are larger sheets available up to 3000mm x 1500mm.

Smithfield Plastics offer cut-to-size options on this product.

HDPE sheet is suitable for many applications, including Cutting Boards, formwork, marine applications, wear slides and playground equipment but has endless more uses.
