Usa Industrials BULK-PS-PE-7 Hdpe Sheet 3/8 in 12 in Natural

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-PE-7 is a high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic sheet cut to a nominal 1-foot length and 12-inch width, at 3/8-inch thickness. HDPE is a lightweight, chemical-resistant thermoplastic widely used in fabrication, lining, and structural applications across plumbing, industrial, and mechanical trades. This sheet ships in natural (off-white) color and carries a plus or minus 0.050-inch dimensional tolerance, making it suitable for close-tolerance cutting and machining. At 1.9 pounds per piece, it is easy to handle and machine with standard shop tools. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators use this material for gaskets, wear pads, pipe supports, tank liners, and custom bracket work.

This HDPE sheet is suited for light industrial and commercial fabrication environments where corrosion resistance, low moisture absorption, and machinability are required. Typical applications include cutting boards, chute liners, spacer blocks, and fluid-containment components in plumbing and mechanical systems. The natural color allows for easy layout marking before cutting. Its consistent thickness makes it practical for use as a stock material in shops that fabricate custom components to order or on-site.

Key Features

• High density polyethylene (HDPE) construction offers chemical resistance and low moisture absorption
• 3/8-inch nominal thickness with plus or minus 0.050-inch tolerance for reliable dimensional consistency
• 12-inch width by 1-foot length provides a workable stock size for small fabrication tasks
• Natural color finish allows easy scribe-line visibility for layout and cutting
• Lightweight at 1.9 pounds, reducing handling effort in shop or field settings
• Machinable with standard woodworking or metal shop tools including saws, drills, and routers

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HDPE stock sheet for fabrication and replacement part applications across plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial trades.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping HDPE sheet is typically performed by maintenance technicians or fabricators using carbide-tipped saw blades or standard drill bits. No special permits are required for fabrication, but finished components installed in potable water systems should comply with applicable IPC or local plumbing code material requirements. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent stress concentrations or fit issues. Avoid prolonged exposure to open flame or temperatures exceeding the material thermal limits during fabrication.
