HDPE Custom Fabrication Cutting Boards for Commercial and Industrial Applications
TAP Plastics provides the highest-quality fabrication services for HDPE and the ability to cut to any size for a custom plastic cutting board. HDPE can be used in many applications, namely:
- Buffet lines, such as restaurant buffets and portable plastic cutting board stations for events
- Butcher blocks in commercial applications such as a local fish market or meat counter
- Consumer and commercial cutting boards for cutting food
- Food packaging and preparation
- Salad bars in restaurants or grocery stores
- Other commercial and industrial food processing applications
HDPE has a smooth, non-slip surface and is easy to clean. Wood and other cutting materials can become weakened by overuse or have splits that hold onto bacteria and can even mold. However, as a high-grade plastic cutting board, HDPE does not harbor bacteria and maintains its strength and shape over time. Our plastic cutting board material has a natural matte finish on both sides of the cutting sheet. We supply our HDPE plastic cutting sheets for any application that requires a high-quality long-lasting cutting surface.
What Cutting Boards do Commercial Kitchens Use?
HDPE cutting board sheets are used in all great commercial kitchens. The natural white color of the polyethylene creates a sanitary look that is desirable and even required for commercial food processing operations. The non-porous surface does not absorb food odors and is easy to maintain and sanitize. Industrial and commercial cutting sheets must be easy to clean because they are designed for a high volume of use such as food preparation.
As is standard operation for cleanliness in a commercial kitchen, HDPE plastic cutting sheets must be rinsed and scrubbed with a wire brush to remove any remaining food or stains after use. Next, the plastic cutting board material should be rinsed with hot water, sanitized in a 10% bleach solution and then rinsed again in cold water. The white plastic cutting board is then ready to be put through the dishwasher cycle. It can be dried, but for the best results, remove the HDPE plastic cutting board from the dishwasher before the drying cycle and allow it to air dry. Alternatively, you can handwash your HDPE board with liquid dish soap and water following sanitization.
What Are the Benefits of HDPE Plastic Cutting Boards?
We provide custom HDPE board with either a smooth or textured surface. The textured HDPE is also known as a kitchen cutting board and provides superior grip. They are textured on both sides, easy to clean and dishwasher safe. This is the best plastic cutting board that is FDA-approved for food preparation; it's ideal because it does not dull knives and does not harbor bacteria.
Think of your average wood cutting board with grooves along the edges. It is a hassle to hand-wash, and as result, people may eventually throw it into the dishwasher with many kinds of bacteria sunken into the wood. However, wood swells and cracks when subjected to hot water and high temperatures, leading to splinter, rot and deforming. There is no such worry with our HDPE plastic cutting sheets. Flexible plastic cutting boards are a breeze to clean and maintain, and they don't warp, crack or lose texture. Our HDPE cutting boards can even be upgraded with advanced antimicrobial technology to protect the cutting board against stain and odor-causing microorganisms.
