Despite its tough sounding name, high density polyethylene (HDPE) is soft compared to other surface materials. That makes it great for working on soft or delicate products which may scratch against harder surfaces. HDPE is often used in laboratory environments due to its lack of porosity and resistance to many solvents. It is also commonly used in material handling to protect delicate products from scratches.
