Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

What HDPE Plastic Sheets Are

HDPE or High-Density Polyethylene has been playing a major role in many different applications because of its versatility. HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer that is tough, strong, and long-lasting. HDPE is made of petroleum that will hold up under impact and is chemical-resistant for greater safety when used for food containers. HDPE is considered the best plastic available on the market to date. It's known for its high impact strength, resistance to chemicals, and low levels of water absorption.

While HDPE sheets are solid, flat surfaces, they can be molded into different shapes and used for injection molding, or 3D printing thanks to their incredible versatility. Because this product is a thermoplastic, its exposure to high heat will allow for shaping into many different items such as cutting boards.

What HDPE Is Used For

Due to its many great qualities, HDPE plastic is a great choice for protecting food and beverages. While in sheet form, it's perfect for cutting boards and food preparation surfaces. This is a great choice for storing liquids often found in tanks holding water, oil, or waste.

HDPE is a popular product used in manufacturing facilities and industrial applications for rails and guides. Because HDPE will not break down when exposed to chemical or corrosive materials, it's used in factories and processing centers dealing with caustic materials such as chemicals and corrosive materials. It's also used in chemical storage and pipes that distribute liquids throughout these facilities.

HDPE is found in marine applications because it does not absorb large quantities of water and will always be resistant to impact. It's ideal for trim, rails, and accessories used on boats and docks. HDPE withstands many outdoor elements and direct contact with water. HDPE is an excellent product for so many applications that require strength while remaining resistant to water and chemicals.

The Benefits Of HDPE Sheets

The many uses mentioned above, makes this plastic an excellent choice due to its versatility. Even though HDPE offers many benefits, its qualities stand out for many industrial applications including its outstanding strength. Here is a rundown of HDPE's incredible benefits:

Strength

HDPE offers incredible strength referred to as strength-to-density ratio meaning it will not break down under tension making it suitable for heavy materials and large quantities of water without any signs of damage causing wear and tear thanks to its flexibility.

HDPE's density simply means it is not prone to absorbing the materials it holds making it a great choice for containers holding liquids and marine applications. HDPE will resist mildew, mold, corrosion, and rotting making it incredibly durable in a huge range of environments. It will last a long time, resists weather, and is practically impenetrable to most solvents, grease, acids, and waxes.

HDPE has been approved for safe use in many industries. The FDA, NSF, and USDA have all approved this product as an industry-grade safe HDPE. It can be used in containers or on cutting surfaces that will come in contact with food and beverages while not absorbing any moisture or the chance of leaking into the contents.

HDPE Piping

Thick Plastic Pipes

As mentioned earlier, HDPE can be molded and shaped into specific containers and offers a high melting point that will allow the sheets to remain rigid unless it's heated on too high a heat. That said, when the product reaches it melting point, it can be molded into just about anything you need. If in the form of sheets, it can be worked using a variety of fabrications like cutting, deep drawing, welding, routing, milling, riveting, and hot and cold uses.

In Conclusion

HDPE has become the number one product on the market for many companies and industries as well as for consumer use. Due to its safety qualities and durability, it can be used for so many different purposes from trash bins to garbage bags without suffering from wear and tear or if the item comes in contact with vehicles, the impact will be minimal.
