On your next occasion you’re going to be chopping greens on the chopping board, make time and check out it, the material most likely to be used as a HDPE Polyethylene Cutting Board – Sheets cutting board is Polyethylene. Since it is generally FDA and National Sanitation Foundation approved as well as stain, moisture and odor resistant, Polyethylene is an ideal choice for cutting boards.
Some other cutting boards cut from wood are susceptible to bacteria and long term odors simply because they lack the sought afterproperties that Polyethylene sheets offer, such as its non porous work surface, chemical substance resistance and approval for food contact. HD Polyethylene is an extremely durable and light-weight material that comes in numerous forms and is perfect for a range of applications. There are plenty of varieties of Polyethylene commercially accessible. The most widespread are HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LD Polyethylene, and UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). The difference has to do with the molecular weight and branching;Â this occurs when a monomer or atom is replaced by a longer chain of polymers (an excessively long repeating chain of atoms). Â

High Density is commonly used for gallon sized milk jugs and food containers. Low Density is typically used for packaging as well as plastic sandwich bags. UHMW, which has higher molecular weight (2-6 million) that enables for an even transfer over the length of material which makes it stronger, which make it useful with regard to bearing job applications because of the great wear resistance. Very popularly used in the food processing and dairy industry, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is a great replacement for various other industrial materials and a fantastic method for fixing many wear issues.  Each one of these polymers are created from the same polyolefin plastic materials family, but all have certain properties that make them just a little different. HDPE provides great chemical resistance, has very high impact strength and great energy absorption. Low Density has many of the same properties as High Density but it’s not as dense at 9.15, as an alternative to HDPE which happens to be 9.34, and it’s a softer material ( flexible coffee can lids). It also provides a lower tensile strength and also greater, more convenient forming.
UHMW is really a strong material that features great durability and low co-efficient of friction making it an ideal for sliding applications. One of the only plastic material with a lower co-efficient of friction is Polytetrafluoroethylene – PTFE; which has a higher temperature and chemical resistance. UHMW Polyethylene gives the wide variety of material solutions and properties, and these types of products have got excellent longevity that could be perfect for several applications. From the food industry to automotive, your home and even the warehouse, whatever your Polyethylene needs are – High Density, Low Denseness or UHMW, Polyethylene is an excellent choice.
