Polymer Solutions

Since the Thermodynamics brand was first introduced over 35 years ago, time has demonstrated the outstanding performance weather ability and durability of the technology and materials used. The process is unique in that parts are formed hollow with even wall thickness and seamless construction. Unlike injection or structural foam molding, parts are formed from linear polyethylene and are molded stress free, which improves impact resistance and long term durability over a wide temperature range. Today, advancements in materials, improved technology, process controls, computer modeling, and finite element analysis optimize product design and value.

• Seamless, one piece molded from tough, impact resistant linear density polyethylene polymer that will not dent.
• Corners and critical areas are strengthened with ribs and additional material.
• Ultra Violet (UV) stabilized color, for excellent resistance to sunlight.
• Material selected for wide temperature range from below -40°F and exceeding 140°F.
• Material will not rust or corrode. FEA designed for superior strength and stability.
• Pedestals require no grounding.
• No exposed metal on inside of pedestals.
• Lighter weight reduces shipping costs.
