Plastic Tarpaulin

Key Features

Our Plastic Tarpaulin meets the stringent standards established by ICRC, IFRC, MSF, and Oxfam. Optionally fire retardant, it’s waterproof, rot proof, and UV-resistant, making it ideal for prolonged outdoor use in diverse climates. Developed through international research, this 4m x 6m sheet features reinforced bands, woven with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) black fibers fabric, and laminated on both sides with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) coating. Highly recommended for safeguarding family shelters.

 

Optional fire retardant feature available upon request.
