Aquarium Forum - View Single Post - Anyone using seaboard polyethylene boards in their reef?

As the title states, is anyone here using seaboard in their reef?
It's a sheet board made from a type of plastic designed to withstand marine elements. I have seen some bare-bottom reefs with this on the bottom, it's to protect the bottom sheet of glass in the bare-bottom (no sand) system.
I wonder if it needs to be cured or washed with vinegar or otherwise, and if it leaches anything of concern into the water.

All info appreciated!
