What is HDPE Polyethylene?

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum. It is known for its high strength-to-density ratio, making it extremely durable and impact-resistant.

Why is HDPE used for cutting boards?

HDPE is used for cutting boards because it is non-porous, resistant to stains and odors, easy to clean, and gentle on knife blades. Its durability also ensures a long lifespan, even with heavy use.

Is HDPE cutting board food-safe?

Yes, HDPE cutting boards are FDA-approved for food contact, making them safe for food preparation. Their non-absorbent nature prevents bacterial growth, ensuring hygiene and food safety.

Can HDPE cutting boards be used for both meat and vegetables?

Yes, but it’s recommended to use separate boards to avoid cross-contamination. Different colors are often used to distinguish boards for meat, poultry, vegetables, and other food types.

Is HDPE resistant to cuts and scratches?

HDPE is highly resistant to cuts and scratches, but over time, knife marks may appear. These do not affect the board’s performance or food safety but may slightly affect its appearance.

Can I recycle my old HDPE cutting board?

Yes, HDPE is recyclable. Check with your local recycling facility to see if they accept HDPE plastic products.

Are HDPE cutting boards heat-resistant?

HDPE can withstand temperatures up to about 180°F (82°C). However, they are not suitable for placing hot pans directly from the stove or oven, as high temperatures can warp or melt the material.

Description

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a durable, non-porous plastic widely used across industrial, commercial, and food-grade applications. Known for its exceptional impact resistance and chemical stability, HDPE provides long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

HDPE Cutting Boards

HDPE is a preferred material for cutting boards due to its durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning. The non-absorbent surface prevents moisture and bacteria from penetrating the material, ensuring high levels of food safety and hygiene. HDPE cutting boards are also gentle on knife edges, making them ideal for both home kitchens and commercial food preparation areas.

Spoke to someone named Kip or kit this morning she was very rude and blunt,
We have an urgent requirement for Teflon sheet and she scoffed at me when I said we needed it urgently, and just said we are too busy to do that.
Very unprofessional
When owners holland plastic read this comment just be aware our order would have been in excess of $20k
we were happy to pay extra in overtime rates or overnight freight.
I would hate to have this person completing sales for my company especially when we have quite a large order needing sorted

Thank you for you terrible service we shall order from an interstate company from now on 👎🏻
