This is a small low density polyethylene chopping board from Hygiplas, designed for food preparation in commercial kitchens. It is available in seven colours — blue, brown, green, red, white, yellow, and purple — to support the colour-coded prep systems that most professional kitchens operate under food safety guidelines.

Low density polyethylene is the standard material choice for this type of board. It offers a non-porous surface that resists moisture absorption, which helps prevent bacteria from harbouring in the board itself. The material is also softer than high density alternatives, which means knives are less likely to blunt on contact — a practical consideration in a busy prep kitchen where staff are working continuously through a service.

At this size, the board is best suited to smaller prep tasks: portioning garnishes, preparing individual ingredients, or general light prep work where a full-size board would be unnecessary. It fits comfortably on a prep bench without taking up significant space, and is light enough to move and clean quickly between tasks.

  • Supports HACCP colour-coding systems to reduce cross-contamination risk
  • Non-porous surface is straightforward to wipe down and sanitise
  • Compact size suits tight prep areas or secondary prep stations
  • Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles

For kitchens running high-volume continuous prep, a larger or heavier-duty board may be more practical. This size works well as a supplementary board rather than a primary prep surface in a busy operation.

If you are setting up a full colour-coded system across a kitchen or need guidance on the right sizes for your prep workflow, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between low density and high density chopping boards?

Low density polyethylene boards are softer and slightly more flexible than high density alternatives. They are gentler on knife edges, which makes them a practical choice for kitchens where blades are used heavily throughout a prep session. High density boards tend to be harder-wearing over time and better suited to heavy chopping tasks.

Is this board the right size for a busy commercial kitchen?

At this size, the board is best used for light prep work — portioning, garnishing, or preparing individual ingredients — rather than as a primary prep surface for a high-volume operation. Larger boards in the same range are available if your prep workflow demands more working space.

How should colour-coded boards be managed to stay effective for food safety?

Colour coding only supports cross-contamination control if the system is consistently followed by all kitchen staff. It is worth having clear labelling or storage racks that separate boards by colour, and ensuring boards are replaced when they develop deep score marks that can harbour bacteria even after cleaning.
