Does anyone know what finish is on these sheets from McMaster? Or if these sheets are stress relieved? I haven't managed to find that information on their site.

Also, I see marine-grade HDPE on McMaster as well (9785T561). Are there any significant performance or friction differences between them? They are almost twice the price.

Thanks!
