Our polyethylene boats are built to thrive in all kinds of environments, from the glacier-covered waters of Alaska to the stormy tropics of the deep South. No matter where you take them, HDPE plastic boats are designed for one purpose: to withstand anything and everything.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE for short) is a thermoplastic polymer derived from petroleum with a generalized chemical formula (C2H4)n. The HDPE formula represents the repeating monomer unit of ethylene and forms a polyethylene molecular chain.
HDPE is resistant to all manners of environmental, UV, fatigue, chemical, and abrasive exposure. This makes it the ideal material for polyethylene boats & anything that has to perform in unpredictable environments.
How we take raw plastic and turn it into an indestructible HDPE plastic boat. We’d be happy for you to come and visit our shop and see the full process.
Yes, HDPE is a recyclable material, and the manufacturing process of HDPE boats is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional boat-making processes, reducing the ecological footprint.
Poly boats are highly resistant to UV radiation, meaning they won’t fade or degrade easily under sunlight, preserving their appearance and integrity over time.
HDPE boats have a long lifespan, often exceeding 30 years with minimal maintenance, due to their high resistance to corrosion, impact, and environmental factors.
Polyethylene boats call for little upkeep. Regular cleaning and checks for physical damage are usually all that is required to keep them in good shape.
There are several reasons to choose a polyethylene boat. Some of them include durability, low maintenance, buoyancy… if you want to know more, see our post.
