Plastic HDPE Plate 1" thick Retail Price

About HDPE|High-density polyethylene. Tough, chemically inert, FDA-approved for food contact, and inexpensive. Softer and more flexible than most engineering plastics. Used for cutting boards, tank liners, chemical containment, and food processing components. Machines easily but the softness can cause chatter on thin sections. Use sharp tools with high positive rake. Compare to UHMW (higher molecular weight, better wear resistance, similar applications) and Polypropylene (similar chemical resistance, slightly stiffer).

About Plate|Thick flat stock, generally 3/16" and up, used for machined base plates, fixture plates, wear surfaces, and structural fabrication. Heavier grades get milled, drilled, and tapped directly.
