High density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding, e.g.
for bottles, cutting boards, dipping baskets, dippers, trays and containers.
Dynalab Corp's plastic fabrication shop fabricates thousands of catalog
and custom acrylic products.

Good impact resistance, light weight, very low moisture
absorption, and high tensile strength. Not a good candidate for
gluing. Mechanical fastening is one option, but preferably joined
by hot air or nitrogen welding. Also, Ultrasonic, Laser, and
infrared welding.
