A King Performance Commodity
King KPC HDPE offers superior corrosion and chemical resistance.
King Plastic Corporation’s HDPE natural is made with FDA and USDA approved materials.
Now Available for Upgrade with King FlameShield for our ASTM E-84 Class A or B Flame/Smoke Compliance and CAN/ULC-S102 for Canadian Compliance
King KPC high-density polyethylene is produced with our proprietary K-Stran® process for unsurpassed flatness and quality up to 1-1/2” in thickness. For larger gauges our state-of-the-art compression molding system is utilized to create the same quality sheets, slabs or massive shapes. King KPC HDPE natural is FDA approved and meets NSF standard 2 and standard 51, which can be used food containers and food equipment. It is extremely versatile with outstanding properties and good chemical resistance for a wide variety of applications, at very competitive cost. KPC HDPE has a low coefficient of friction and can be easily cut, colored, machined, welded, and thermoforming for easy fabrication. It may be used for some structural fabrication because of its superior tensile strength, much more than Low Density Polyethylene. It is moisture resistant, impact resistant and has great abrasion resistance. The material will not splinter, rot or retain harmful bacteria, odors, and is very resistant to cleaning agents.
