Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene is widely used for the plastic fabrication of consumer products such as chopping/cutting boards, stencils, and tanks. PE is common in the marine industry as it’s strong, hard, and lighter than water. It has a wax like appearance and is available in most colours and thickness sizes. UV stabilizers can be used to improve its weather resistance however it will turn the PE black.

​

Materials such as Seaboard are formulated to meet the specific requirements of marine and other outdoor environments. In addition, special post-production treatment enhances its ability to withstand the effects of salt water, moisture and direct sunlight.

Polyethylene (HDEP) is the high-density version of Polyethylene (PE). It can be moulded, machined, and joined using plastic welding.
