NON WOVEN TARPAULIN

[EIRI/EDPR/3664] J.C.: 1749XL,1764

INTRODUCTION

A tarpaulin is a large sheet of strong, flexible, waterproof or water-resistant

material, such as polyethylene, or canvas or polyester coated with urethane. The
word “tarpaulin” is formed by the mixture of two words “tarp” which means tarred
canvas and “palling” which means fabric, mainly used to cover objects. Plastic
tarpaulin is a polyethylene film, available in clear, blue, black and mixed shades,
and in various thicknesses. The global tarpaulin market can be segmented on the
basis of types, applications and regions.

On the basis of types, the global tarpaulin market can be divided into poly
tarpaulin, mesh tarpaulin, canvas tarpaulin, and vinyl tarpaulin. Tarpaulins are
used in a variety of applications and industries. Some products are used as
lumber tarps, hay tarps, tent canopies, snow fences, or truck tarps. Plastic
tarpaulins serve as boat tarps and pool covers. Boat tarps are generally made up
of polyethylene or canvas, as the tarp material is 100% waterproof and serves
heavy duty in order to withstand harsh weather conditions and strong winds. Tarp
pool covers are an efficient way to keep the leaves and debris out of the pool. The
tarp pool cover is fully waterproof, which keep unwanted water to fill the
swimming pool and prevent overflow. Plastic tarpaulins are also used in
construction projects to cover bridges, buildings, and water towers.

The inexpensive modern tarpaulins are made from woven polyethylene. The use of
polyethylene in the manufacturing of plastic tarpaulin has become so common
that it is known as polytarp at various places. Polyethylene tarps or poly tarps are
made up of polyethylene, nylon sheet threading inside the material with a rope
strengthening around the boundary of the poly tarp material.

Preference of blue or mixed coloured tarpaulin by users is a major trend witnessed
in the global plastic tarpaulin market. The rainy season accommodates the
highest plastic tarpaulin sale, mainly due to its waterproof nature. The HDPE or
the high density polyethylene tarpaulin is admirable for covering products and is
used for protection against dust and moisture and can be used as a defensive
covering in sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and automobiles, cover for
machinery, floor spreads and others.

Moreover, plastic tarpaulin can be used to create a convenient greenhouse to

increase the growing season. However, some of the plastic tarpaulin sheets can
block the UV rays necessary for plants for greenhouse warming; hence, the user
needs to ensure to use a proper brand of plastic tarpaulin to ensure plants are
getting proper sunlight accordingly.

A tarpaulin or tarp is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water-resistant or waterproof

material, often cloth such as canvas or polyester coated with polyurethane, or
made of plastics such as polyethylene. In some places such as Australia, and in
military slang, a tarp may be known as a hootch. Tarpaulins often have reinforced
grommets at the corners and along the sides to form attachment points for rope,
allowing them to be tied down or suspended.

Inexpensive modern tarpaulins are made from woven polyethylene; this material is
so associated with tarpaulins that it has become colloquially known in some
quarters as polytarp.

Tarpaulins have multiple uses, including as shelter from the elements, i.e., wind,
rain, or sunlight, a ground sheet. Tarpaulins are often used during the build
process to protect brickwork and masonry from weather damage. Tarpaulins are
also used for a fly in camping, a drop sheet for painting, for protecting the infield
of a baseball field, and for protecting objects, such as unenclosed trucks, semi-
trailers or freight cars as well as wood piles. Such was the demand for tarpaulins
by the New South Wales Government Railways, up until 1990, they operated their
own tarpaulin factory. It is also used on outdoor market stalls to provide some
protection from the elements of nature. Tarpaulins are also used for advertisement
printing, most notably for billboards.
