HDPE promotes sliding of glass panels
Handling glass panels in manufacturing plants can be challenging and at times hazardous due to their weight and fragility.
Allplastics Engineering offered Evolution Windows custom made black, high density Polyethylene panels with CNC Routed grooves. The Polyethylene panels are designed not only to eliminate the problem of the glass sheets hitting each other; this system also promotes the sliding of glass panels in and out of storage.

Did you know that one of the most commonly used polymers in recent decades was accidently discovered in 1938? PTFE (commonly known as Teflon™) was a result of an attempt by Roy Plunkett, of the New Jersey laboratories of DuPont, to make a new chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant.
During this process the tetrafluoraethylene gas in its pressure bottle stopped flowing before the bottle’s weight had dropped to the point of signaling “empty”. Plunkett was measuring the amount of gas by weighing the bottle and became curious as to the source of the weight.
