TECAFORM® AH UD Blue Plate is the first multi-detectable plastic that can be identified by all three standard detection systems.

Natural HDPE cutting board provides a safe, sanitary, and low-maintenance surface for seafood preparation. Natural HDPE cutting board is FDA approved for food applications and ensures food preparation safety by eliminating the splintering, chipping, swelling, rotting, deformation, or bacterial absorption seen with wood and similar materials. It resists odors, mildew, and moisture and surpasses wood in long-term durability. Natural HDPE cutting board features outstanding chemical resistance that allows it to withstand the many acids, alcohols, and bases encountered in the seafood industry.
