UHMWPE vs HDPE Mats
Choose the material around duty cycle, handling frequency, and budget.
UHMWPE is better suited to higher abrasion, higher impact, and repeated long-term deployment, while HDPE emphasizes lighter handling and cost control.
If equipment is heavier, turnover is frequent, or ground conditions are less predictable, UHMWPE is usually the safer choice.
For lighter maintenance, landscaping, or short-cycle work, HDPE often delivers stronger value for the cost.
FAQ
What is the difference between UHMWPE and HDPE?
UHMWPE focuses on abrasion and impact resistance, while HDPE is often a stronger fit for standard panels, protection boards, and cost-sensitive projects.
