Types of Tarpaulin Offered By Manufacturers and Dealers in India

Introduction

Tarpaulins, also known as a large sheet of waterproof material made from various plastic materials like HDPE, LDPE or PVC. Tarpaulins were earlier used to cover objects on ships which is where it got its name tar + palling. It means a tarred canvas. There is a wide variety of tarpaulins available in different material and thickness. They even have various types of applications that include canvas, coated polyester, polyethylene, etc. Tarpaulins in today’s times are made from woven polyethylene which makes them much more cost-effective than before.

The large sheets of tarpaulins have reinforced holes at the corners and along the edges at regular intervals that were earlier used to pass nylon ropes through them so that they can be tied to the anchor of the ship. However, these days the more important use of tarpaulins is to provide shelter from rains and in some cases from sun and wind as well.

Types of Tarpaulins

For Tarpaulins, each type of plastic has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Choosing the right material of a tarpaulin means choosing the type of plastic that has the strengths that align with the specific needs. Types of tarpaulins include-

• HDPE and PP Tarpaulin- HDPE Tarpaulin has gained wide popularity with total protection from rain and is the most wanted in India for domestic, commercial as well as industrial use. Polypropylene or HDPE tarpaulins are used to make shade nets (green shade nets and agro shade nets). HDPE Poly Tarpaulins are made from premium quality woven HDPE fabric laminated with LDPE on both sides. They are made from various qualities and thickness, using multiple layers of HDPE sandwiched between layers of LDPE on the outside. These types of tarpaulins are known to be more rugged than the others and are most suited for applications where there is a larger chance of wear and tear.
• LDPE Tarpaulin (Low-Density Polyethylene Bags)- LDPE sheets and polybags usually manufactured with excellent yard bags do not run (tear) when punctured. They have a glossy appearance and generally, a higher cost as more material is used when compared to high-density polyethylene (HDPE). As such, low-density polyethylene bags tend to possess higher freight and storage costs when compared to HDPE.
• LLPE (Linear Low-Density Bags)- LLPE Tarpaulins are strong poly bags that are resistant to puncture or tears. These poly bags require less freight and storage costs when compared to LDPE bags. But LLPE bags tend to have a sticky texture making them more difficult to open and use. LLPE bags also have too much stretch when compared to other types of polyethylene.
• Canvas Tarpaulins- Perfect King is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality Cotton Canvas Tarpaulins. Cotton Canvas Tarpaulins are made of 100% Cotton Single Duck fabric.

• Nylon Rope- Nylon ropes are known to be add-ons to the primary products like Tarpaulins, Canvas Tarpaulins, etc. It helps in the installation of the Tarpaulin on to the area that is to be covered. These ropes are tied to an anchor to hold it tightly and securely.
