On your next occasion you'll be cutting home grown vegetables on your cutting board, make time and check out it, the material most likely to be used as a HDPE Polyethylene Cut Grade Material - Sheets cutting board is Polyethylene. Simply because it should be FDA and National Sanitation Foundation approved and even stain, moisture and odor resistant, Polyethylene is the best choice for chopping boards.
Numerous other cutting boards cut from wood are prone to bacteria and strong odors because they lack the properties that Polyethylene sheets offer, for example its non permeable surface, chemical substance resistance and approval for food contact. Polyethylene material is a really durable and lightweight material that comes in lots of forms and is perfect for a wide variety of applications. There are a few types of Polyethylene commercially accessible. The most typical are HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LD Polyethylene, and UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). The key difference has to do with the molecular weight and branching;Â which is when a monomer or atom is replaced by a longer chain of polymers (a very long repeating chain of atoms). Â

High Density is commonly used for the one gallon milk jugs and glad food storage containers. Low Density happens to be used for water bottles in addition to plastic 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, making it able to be used with regard to bearing usages due to its great wear resistance. Very popularly used in the food processing and dairy industry, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is a superb replacement for numerous industrial materials along with a fantastic method for fixing many wear issues.  These types of polymers are derived from the same polyolefin plastics family, but they all have certain properties that make them a little different. HDPE provides great chemical resistance, with extreme impact strength and great energy absorption. LDPE has several of the same properties as High Density but it is not as dense at 9.15, as an alternative to HDPE which is 9.34, in fact it is a softer material ( the one gallon coffee can lids). In addition it features a lower tensile strength and far better, faster and easier heat processing.
UHMW is definitely a strong material that has got great durability and low co-efficient of friction which make it an ideal for sliding applications. Dupont makes the plastic material with a lower co-efficient of friction is Polytetrafluoroethylene - PTFE; which has a higher temperature and chemical resistance. UHMW Polyethylene delivers a wide variety of material offerings and properties, and these materials have got fantastic durability which can be suitable for various applications. From the food industry to automotive, the kitchen as well as the warehouse, whatever your Polyethylene needs are - High Density, Low Denseness as well as UHMW, Polyethylene makes a great alternative.
