HDPE. High-density polyethylene, or HDPE, is perhaps the most versatile plastic for outdoor use. Many park benches, tables and chairs are now made using HDPE plastic, and playground equipment, in general, is made of HDPE thanks to its sturdiness. HDPE is resistant to mold, mildew and harsh weather conditions that might cause discoloration or
Certain plastics such as acrylic, Ultem®, PVDF, and PTFE are inherently UV stable. However, most plastic materials exhibit color change and loss of elongation when exposed to UV light. Weathering resistance of some plastics can be improved by adding UV stabilizers or UV resistant caps to protect the base polymer. Scratch-resistant polycarbonate features a proprietary coating on both sides that significantly improves the plastic sheet’s resistance to weathering, ultraviolet damage, chemicals, acids, and so much more. Properties of AR Polycarbonate: abrasion and chemical resistant. ease of fabrication and cleaning. improved weatherability.Starboard is a plastic sheet material made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and infused with UV inhibitors. In fact, it’s one of the few materials that is nearly impervious to UV exposure. This makes it highly durable, even in the harshest weather. Starboard material will never rot, delaminate, or fade.
