DENSETEC POST INDUSTRIAL
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
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.
