FAQs

HDPE - frequently asked questions

Yes - our HDPE is FDA-approved for direct food contact, making it the standard material for cutting boards, food processing benches and chiller liners. Confirm food-grade on your order so the correct certificate ships with the goods.
Marine board is HDPE pigmented through-and-through with UV-stable colours and a textured finish. It's used for jetty cladding, transom doors, outdoor furniture and yacht fit-outs - anywhere the material sees sun and water year-round.
Yes - HDPE welds cleanly with hot-air, extrusion or butt-fusion equipment. It cannot be solvent-bonded; mechanical fasteners or welds are the correct joining methods.
