Frequently Asked Questions
Is white HDPE food safe?
Yes, white HDPE is available in FDA-compliant grades that are safe for direct food contact. The non-porous surface won't harbor bacteria, absorb liquids, or retain odors, making it ideal for cutting boards, food preparation surfaces, and food processing equipment.
How do I clean and sanitize white HDPE?
White HDPE can be easily cleaned with soap and water or sanitized with diluted bleach solutions and commercial sanitizers. The non-porous surface won't absorb liquids or harbor bacteria. Many applications are also dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
Will white HDPE stain or discolor?
White HDPE is resistant to most stains due to its non-porous surface. While some strong dyes or chemicals may cause surface discoloration, regular cleaning typically keeps it bright. For food applications, any surface staining is cosmetic and doesn't affect food safety.
What's the difference between white HDPE and black HDPE?
Both offer the same durability and chemical resistance. Black HDPE contains carbon black for enhanced UV protection and hides dirt better, making it ideal for outdoor/industrial use. White HDPE is preferred for food contact, clean rooms, and sanitary environments where visibility and cleanliness are priorities.
