Our HDPE rolls are strong plastic sheets which are designed for both indoor and outdoor installations. The material is made from recycled polyethylene and is fully waterproof. Built-in UV inhibitors allow the plastic to resist breakdown when exposed to sunlight. The plastic sheets are available in roll widths ranging from 18” to 60”. The wide variety of widths allow for the plastic to conform to unique applications without having to cut the material down laterally. The plastic is puncture and tear resistant. Available in thickness ranging from the flexible 30 mil to the ultra strong 100 mil for heavy-duty and demanding applications. The HDPE is manufactured in the USA.

Please Note: The widest rolls that we offer in HDPE are 60” (5ft).

We are also unable to provide custom roll lengths.

The Many Uses For High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

HDPE or High-Density Polyethylene is probably the most popular and commonly used polyethylene product on the market. Under the microscope, it appears as a linear structure with a few branches adding to its optimal strength-density ratio. Its molecular makeup makes this polymer stand out plus it's moisture resistant and costs less.

In the 1930s during World War II, HDPE was created for high-frequency radar. Commercially, it was introduced not long after that. Different grades of HDPE vary in flexibility and uses. Meaning, low-density grade is not as stiff as high-density grade.

The Advantages & Disadvantages Of HDPE

Advantages
• Save on costs
• Withstands temperatures from -148° to 176° F
• The contents will not seep
• Resists most chemicals
• Dishwasher safe

Disadvantages
• Sensitive to stress cracking
• Flammable
• Difficult to bond

Popular Uses

Most consumers discovered HDPE thanks to plastic water bottles and the packaging. This product is very popular for food and beverage containers. Also, being recyclable, it will not end up in a landfill.

Toys made from HDPE are UV-resistant which will prevent discoloration and early deterioration. Because HDPE resists chemicals, it's a perfect product for cleaning products, motor oils, antifreeze, and recycling receptacles. Other containers include laundry, shampoo, and conditioners.

Pipe systems made from HDPE pipe-grade sheets have a greater molecular weight in comparison to typical HDPE. Its UV-resistant properties are perfect for piping and other outdoor applications to withstand the elements. Pipe grade sheets have the ability to withstand -220° to 180° F. Because HDPE plastic can withstand most chemicals, makes it a great product for most industrial applications.
