Material Highlight: High-Density Polyethylene

February 11, 2019

Recycled Plastic Lumber

(Wood grain appearance)

Maglin uses plastic lumber from recycled High-Density Polyethylene, creating a durable environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lumber.

Recycled plastic lumber does not incorporate any fillers such as wood fiber or wood flour which can absorb moisture and cause material degradation and color fading. The recycled plastics utilized in our plastic lumber is a combination of post-industrial, post-consumer regrind and wide-spec (industrial by-product) which would normally be disposed of in our landfills. It is perfect for most outdoor applications and utilized by industry, and manufacturing for OEM projects, park and recreation, government and agriculture.

Our plastic lumber is produced from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), colorants (pigments) and UV inhibitors.

  • Manufactured to exacting specifications and is resistant to corrosive substances, oil and fuels, insects, fungi, salt spray, and other environmental stresses
  • Does not absorb moisture and will not rot or splinter

Recycled Plastic Panels
