high density polyethylene

is high density polyethylene safe for use in a sump? it is a rubber maid 100 gal stock tank.
 
Absolutely. HDPE doesn't have any plasticizer to speak of which is what makes a polymer dangerous or not for aquarium use. Well that to a large extent, and to a lesser extent, porosity and flexibility.
 
Would UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) work the same way? I would suspect so, but just wondering b/c I can get my hands on UHMWPE at work easily and could use it to make gaskets if need be.
