Description:
Structural plastic lumber shall be manufactured with HDPE and fiberglass elements to act reinforcing with the HDPE.  Lumber shall be molded in one piece per specified size.  All materials will have UV additives to prevent deterioration of the plastic lumber from exposure to UV light.  HDPE will be made up of no less than 80% of recycled materials; both post industrial and post consumer.  Finished plastic lumber will not rot, split, crack or splitner for a minimum of 50 years.  It shall be resistant to termites, marine borers, salt spray, oil, and fungus.

The technical data on this page represents only average values and not minimum values.  Safety factors must be added into the design.

Chemical Resistance --High-Density Polyethylene has a high resistance to most acids and chemicals.  Plastic Lumber has a high tolerance to exposure by most substances.

Ultraviolet Weathering --An ultraviolet stabilizer is added at the time of manufacture to help protect against ultraviolet degradation of the plastic surface in exterior applications.
