Polyethylene tarpaulin is also known as HDPE Tarpaulin, Laminated Tarpaulin, Plastic Tarpaulin, etc.
Polythene Tarpaulins are made of High Density Polythene woven fabric laminated on both sides with
low density polythene. The advantages of PE tarpaulins are that they are very economic compared to
cotton canvas tarpaulins. PE tarpaulins with HDPE woven fabric and LDPE lamination on both the
sides are 100% waterproof. PE tarpaulins have the capability to adopt wide range of colours unlike the
canvas tarpaulin which makes it more usable and a preferred product all over the world.
