DENSETEC

Densetec® Marine Board is specially formulated to withstand the rigors of harsh outdoor marine environments. It is UV-stabilized to resist damage and retain its beauty, even after years of direct sunlight. Increasingly, Densetec® Marine Board is replacing wood and laminates in boating applications. It does not splinter,crack, delaminate, rot, swell, or absorb water like traditional materials. Even under heavy foot traffic on yacht decks, it remains virtually maintenance-free. In addition, there is no need to stain or paint Densetec® Marine Board every few years. The color is integrated with the polymer and retains its vibrant appearance better than painted wood. Fabricating and finishing are easy with standard woodworking tools. Densetec® Marine Board forms easily for smooth curves and bends. Since there is no grain pattern, parts can be cut from any part of the sheet virtually eliminating waste for greater economy than wood. Densetec® Marine Board is also available in two other formulations for specific applications: Densetec® Marine HP (High Performance) and Densetec® Marine LW (Lightweight).

Densetec® Post Consumer is a 98% (2% color) post consumer product that can be used in a variety of applications. Densetec® Post Consumer is manufactured using a HDPE resin that has been compounded and processed from products such as detergent bottles and/or milk jugs that have been saved from our nation's land fills. Densetec® Post Consumer is Polymer Industries contribution to the “Green Movement” and can be produced for a minimum run, per color, per thickness. Densetec® Post Consumer is manufactured in sheet form or can be fabricated to customer requirements, and can be used to produce products such as Marine Board, Playground Board, Sign Board and Partition Board. Densetec® Post Consumer exhibits virtually the same properties as those of standard HDPE. It is easily fabricated, routed or engraved using current CNC technology. This material can be produced with or without a textured surface. It can be produced using any of Polymer's many stock colors and can be produced with a UV stabilizer making it the perfect choice for outdoor environments. It is an excellent replacement for wood, and because the color is embedded in the sheet, it never needs painting and is also vandal resistant. The versatile properties of Densetec® Post Consumer make it the ideal product for any application that standard HDPE can be used. Polymer Industries has committed considerable resources to the environmental reclamation of HDPE and the development of a product that does not sacrifice the integrity of the application in which it is used. We are proud to be able to offer to our customers and to these industries our “Green ” offering of Densetec® Post Consumer.

The material is manufactured by extruding one color on the inside and a contrasting color on the outside. The layers are combined while the material is still molten. The result is a homogeneous sheet that is guaranteed not to delaminate, crack or chip. It is superior to other sign materials, which are separate layers of material laminated together. Densetec® Sign Board is easily routed or engraved using current CNC router technology. As the skin of the material is removed by the router, the inside color shows through and, voila, a sign is easily fabricated with minimum finishing requirements. The material does not have to be painted because the color is embedded into the sheet. The durable textured finish resists scratches and marring. The product is UV stabilized to resist deterioration in harsh outdoor environments, making it the perfect signage material.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® High Density Polyethelyne sheet exhibits the properties of high impact strength, abrasion resistance, and low coefficient of friction. The material is also moisture, stain and odor resistant, and is FDA approved to be used in the food processing industry. The material's durability makes it ideally suited for a variety of applications such as water tanks, chute linings and numerous industrial uses.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® HMW is the extruded material needed when Densetec® HDPE is not enough and Polyslick® UHMW is not necessary. Densetec® HMW has higher impact strength than HDPE and is more abrasion resistant. The fact that Densetec® HMW is more wear resistant than standard HDPE, and is more economical than standard UHMW makes it the ideal material for wear applications and machined parts. It may also be used in applications such as snowplow linings and fertilizer spreaders.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® LDPE Sheet is a material that's soft, flexible, and tough, even at low temperatures. Because of the fact that Densetec® LDPE has very good formability traits and is very pliable, it is an ideal material for the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Densetec® LDPE has very good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption which makes it ideal for the chemical industry. Densetec® LDPE also has exceptional environmental stress crack resistance properties.

Densetec Anti Skid is a Moisture Resistant, stain and graffiti resistant under the RoHS & REACH compliant High coefficient of friction. It also provides Protrusions grip shoe surface, High grip compound on surface of sheet and the water drains away beneath surface protrusions.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® HDPE Pipe Grade is a higher molecular weight material than our standard Densetec® HDPE. The material displays improved performance characteristics in a variety of piping applications. In addition, the material is UV stabilized and ideal for use in demanding outdoor applications. It retains its properties between -220°F and 180°F and resists most chemicals. It is also NSF certified under Standard 61 to be used in potable water piping systems. Densetec® HDPE Pipe Grade can be used in a variety of applications including manhole lids and bottoms, pipe reducers, trenches, sumps, pipe flanges, pipe end caps, tanks, milled flange adapters and lifting lugs.

Densetec® Playground Board is making a big splash in the playground industry. The variety of bright contrasting colors make it perfectly suited to this environment where high impact colors are required. Because the color is embedded in the sheet, it never needs painting. Especially with the rigors and abuse that children inflict upon playground equipment, this material lasts much longer than wood. The versatile properties of Densetec® Playground Board make it virtually vandal resistant. The UV stabilizers added to the material make the colors fade-resistant and the standard properties of the HDPE used in the production of Densetec® Playground Board make it weather-resistant and the perfect choice for outdoor environments. Design potential is unlimited with Densetec® Playground Board. Polymer Industries welcomes custom orders. We can assist you in your design and engineering requirements.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® Homopolymer Polypropylene exhibits the properties of high corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and great tensile strength. It maintains its stiffness at elevated temperatures and displays incredible resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents, and electrolytic attack. In addition, the material is lightweight, and stain and moisture resistant. Due to its chemical resistance, Densetec® Homopolymer Polypropylene is ideally suited to be used with a wide range of chemicals. Its resistance to aggressive media permits it to be used in laboratories and a large variety of industrial applications. The material resists most strong acids and bases even at relatively high temperatures and concentrations.

Densetec® Post Industrial LW is an HDPE utility grade sheet material that is approximately 20% lighter that standard weight HDPE sheet. The material employs a foamed core capped with full weight skin to achieve weight reduction. The material is ideal as a replacement for plywood in a variety of applications where moisture absorption is a concern. It is particularly used in marine environments such as chair seat backs where plywood is prone to absorbing water and rotting. The material is available in black only.

Densetec® Shield is a product specially designed for nuclear shielding applications. The material employs 5% Boron by weight to shield neutrons in a variety of applications including high intensity X-rays, cancer treatment facilities, nuclear submarines, and nuclear power plants.
