Food Cutting Board (Sanalite / Sanatec)

Finish Plastics | Additional Materials and Accessories

Food cutting board is a premium HDPE material with a surface that is gentle on cutting blades. Cutting board is used in a wide array of applications—from home use to commercial food preparation and in some of the largest packing plants in the United States. Sanalite is available in two formulations: high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene. Polypropylene has a harder surface than HDPE. Both come in natural (white) color.

SANALITE is an odorless and taste-free pebbled finished cutting board material recognized as the industry standard of excellence for use in food preparation and meat/poultry processing. Sanalite is lightweight, easily cleaned and sanitized, and is compliant with FDA, USDA, NSF and Canada AG standards. Sanalite Cutting Board is also available in Natural Polypropylene for users who prefer a harder cutting surface and added stain resistance.

Sanatec is a high density polyethylene specially formulated for the manufacture of quality cutting boards. Sanatec's special surface finish insures long product life and will not dull knives.  Sanatec outlasts (up to three times longer) functionally competitive materials and is considered the strongest and lightest of all cutting board materials.
