Polymer partitions are environmentally safe and sanitary, never need painting, and will not easily dent or chip. It is the material of choice for low maintenance.
HDPE solid polymer is water resistant and unaffected by high humidity or corrosive environments and cannot delaminate. Most commercial cleaning agents will not damage the surface.
HDPE polymer has homogeneous color and material compound throughout. An aluminum heat sink strip is applied to the bottom edge of all doors and panels as standard.
