High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a practical and economical material with many practical applications in material handling, food processing, mining and other industries. Recently RDA Property group supplied a landscaping project design to Allplastics Engineering, Black HDPE Material was confirmed of the material to fabricate. Allplastics Engineering Manufactured Black UV grade welded HDPE planter boxes.
The planters measured 3 metre diameter x 900mm High, the purpose of the design was to give flexibility to the client if later in the future the landscape was to be redesigned, the Planter boxes can be reused and repositioned.
HDPE is available in both virgin and recycled grades. They come in thicknesses from 1.5mm up to 50mm. It can be cut, machined, CNC routered and welded.
