Product Description
This is a large-format, extra-thick chopping board from Hygiplas, made from high-density polyethylene and supplied in brown — the colour conventionally assigned to root vegetables in standard kitchen colour-coding systems. At 25mm thick and weighing 6.6kg, it is noticeably more substantial than standard commercial boards, giving it greater resistance to warping, scoring, and the general wear that comes with sustained prep work.
High-density polyethylene is a well-established material choice for commercial boards. It is non-absorbent, which limits bacterial ingress into the surface, and it does not transfer odours or taint food. The material is also non-toxic and compatible with standard catering hygiene regulations, making it suitable for HACCP-based kitchen systems where colour separation between food types is a practical requirement rather than a preference.
The extra thickness makes a practical difference during heavy prep sessions — the board sits more solidly on the work surface, flexes less under pressure, and holds up better over time compared to thinner alternatives. It is well suited to busy kitchens where boards are in continuous use across long prep periods.
- Colour-coded brown for root vegetable prep in HACCP kitchens
- Non-absorbent surface limits bacterial retention
- Extra thickness reduces flex and extends working life
- Compatible with standard dishwasher cleaning cycles
- Odourless and non-toxic — no taint risk to food
If you run a high-volume prep kitchen and are reviewing your full board set — sizes, colours, and quantities — it is worth talking through your requirements before ordering in bulk. We are happy to help work out what suits your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Brown is the colour conventionally assigned to root vegetables in UK commercial kitchen colour-coding systems. Using boards consistently within that convention supports your HACCP controls and helps staff separate food types without ambiguity.
- For kitchens doing sustained, heavy prep work — particularly with root vegetables, which tend to involve firmer cutting pressure — the extra thickness helps the board resist flex and surface scoring over time. Lighter-use operations may find a standard-thickness board adequate, but the thicker version typically lasts longer under daily commercial use.
- High-density polyethylene boards of this type are generally compatible with commercial dishwasher cycles. Regular machine washing is recommended to maintain hygiene standards, and the material is designed to withstand the temperatures and detergents used in commercial warewashing.
