HD Polyethylene as a nsf approved cutting board

Next time you're the one slicing fresh vegetables on the cutting board, take the opportunity and look at it, the material most likely to be used as a HDPE Polyethylene Cut Grade Material - Sheets cutting board is Polyethylene. Given it should be FDA and NSF approved and even stain, moisture and odor resistant, Polyethylene is an ideal choice for slicing boards.

Numerous cutting boards made out of wood are susceptible to bacteria and residual odors given that they lack the desirableproperties that Polyethylene sheets offer, including its non permeable surface, chemical substance resistance and approval for food contact. HD Polyethylene is a very durable and light-weight material that comes in lots of forms and is perfect for a wide range of applications. You can find several different types of Polyethylene commercially available. The commonest are HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LDPE, and UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). The difference has to do with the molecular weight and branching;  which happens when a monomer or atom is replaced by a longer chain of polymers (an excessively long repeating chain of atoms).

The High Density Polyethylene is frequently used for milky white gallon milk jugs and food containers. Low Density is frequently used for food containers as well as plastic baggies. UHMW, which has higher molecular weight (2-6 million) allowing for an even transfer over the length of material which makes it stronger, so that it is useful with regard to bearing purposes due to its great wear resistance. Regularly used in the food processing and dairy industry, UHMW Polyethylene makes a great replacement for a great many other industrial materials along with great technique to many wear issues.   All of these polymers are made from the same polyolefin plastic family, but all have certain properties that make them a little different. HDPE provides great chemical resistance, with extreme impact strength and great energy absorption. LD Polyethylene has many of the same properties as High Density but it is not as dense at 9.15, instead of HDPE which is 9.34, and it is a softer material ( one gallon coffee can lids). Additionally it features a lower tensile strength and also improved, simpler and easier heat processing.
UHMW is a strong material that has got great durability and low co-efficient of friction allowing it to be an ideal for sliding applications. One of the only plastic material with a lower co-efficient of friction is Dupont Teflon - PTFE; which has a higher temperature and chemical resistance. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene features a wide range of material offerings and properties,  and these materials have exceptional toughness which might be worthy of a variety of applications. From the food industry to automotive, your kitchen in addition to warehouse, whatever your Polyethylene needs are - High Density, Low Denseness or even UHMW, Polyethylene is really a good decision.
