rHDPE is a hard rigid plastic made from waste chopping boards and plastic packaging. The material comes in sheet form, it’s hard, dense and rigid, 100% waterproof, rot-proof and has strong weather resistance.
It has moderate scratch resistance and can be refinished. It can be heat-formed into shape, machined, drilled, cut (router, CNC) and water cut.
The material is food grade and UV resistant, it is commonly used for benchtops, tabletops, panelling, shelving, playgrounds and furniture.
Available thickness range from 12-20mm and each sheet is unique.
