Description
HDPE Marine Board is a high-density polyethylene sheet specifically engineered for marine and outdoor applications. This durable, weather-resistant material won't rot, splinter, or absorb water, making it ideal for boat construction, dock components, and waterfront projects. Marine-grade HDPE provides superior performance in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments.
ShapesPlastics' HDPE Marine Board is UV-stabilized to resist sun damage and maintain its structural integrity for years. It's easy to fabricate using standard woodworking tools - cut, drill, route, and shape it just like wood, but without the maintenance headaches. The non-porous surface resists mold, mildew, and marine organisms, while the chemical resistance ensures long-lasting performance. Available in multiple colors to match your project aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes marine board different from regular HDPE?
Marine board is specifically formulated with UV stabilizers and additives that make it more resistant to sun exposure, saltwater, and harsh marine environments. It's denser and more durable than standard HDPE, designed to withstand constant water exposure without degrading.
Is HDPE marine board food safe?
Yes, HDPE marine board is FDA-compliant and safe for food contact applications. It's non-toxic, non-porous, and commonly used for cutting boards, fish cleaning stations, and food preparation surfaces. The material won't harbor bacteria when properly cleaned.
How do I cut and work with marine board?
Marine board can be cut, drilled, routed, and shaped using standard woodworking tools. Use carbide-tipped blades for best results. It machines easily but may require slower speeds to prevent melting. The material can also be heat-formed for curved applications.
Will marine board fade in sunlight?
HDPE marine board is UV-stabilized to resist fading and sun damage. While some minimal color change may occur over many years of direct sun exposure, it maintains its structural integrity and won't become brittle or crack like untreated plastics.
