So why is HDPE a good material for boats? Read on to find out several of the main benefits of owning a Tideman HDPE workboat.
ZERO CORROSION
HDPE is not affected by salt, oxygen and water. This means that you do not have to rinse the boat after use, so less time needs to be spent on maintenance.
HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE
Indestructible HPDE is resistance to bumps and scratches, which means it is both tough and flexible – plus it wont be punctured by rocks and other sharp objects.
LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT AND RECYCLABLE
HDPE has a carbon footprint that is five times lower than that of aluminum. HDPE can also be completely remelted and recycled into a new blend. By choosing Tideman HDPE work boats you will be doing your bit for the environment.
FLEXIBLE DESIGNS
Because of the HDPE structure, Tideman Boats can be easily customized to suit your specifications. Things like extra storage compartments or additional seating areas can all be easily welded into your custom boat.

UV RESISTANT
Tideman Boats are made from black HDPE which is mixed with carbon because so that it is resistant to UV light. While other boat hulls can fade and become brittle due to sun exposure, our boats will remain black and sturdy.
