HDPE Tarpaulin is a polymers having multiple end uses, and is considered a boon for the Indian industry. It’s excellent for covering purposes, helping protect products from dust and moisture. Hence, it’s used in sector, including automobiles, infrastructure and agriculture, and also for covering machinery, as floor spreads, and in tents.
Below are a few of the most significant uses of HDPE Tarpaulin.
USES OF HDPE TARPAULIN
The uses of HDPE Tarpaulin can be divided into two categories, namely manufacturing or feed stock and end uses.
AS FEED STOCK
1. Lamination – HDPE Tarpaulin are usually made by laminating the HDPE fabric with LLDPE, LDPE, or a blend of both. Tarpaulin can also be of three layers, which comprises of two layers of LLDPE/ LDPE and one layer of woven HDPE fabric. Similarly five-layered Tarpaulins can also be made, where one layer of woven HDPE fabric would be sandwiched between two layers of LLDPE/ LDPE fabric.
2. Border making – Borders are made using metallic loops that work around the edges of the fabric, to make way for the rope that tightens the border and hold the fabric in place.
3. Sealing – Sealing is done using the laminated HDPE fabric, by cutting it into desired dimensions and then using it to seal commodities.
AS FINAL CONSUMABLES
1. Storage – The storage industry is the second largest consumer market for Tarpaulin, where industries use it as coverings for a wide range of applications, including coverings for machineries, coverings for open-door storage, construction coverings, temporary sheds, etc.
2. Transportation – HDPE Tarpaulin is also used for making covers for automobiles, especially trucks carrying goods across cities. This helps protect the goods in transit, during the rainy season.
So, HDPE Tarpaulin has a wide range of uses, and is therefore a prominent HDPE product in the polymer market.
