Polyethylene Tarpaulin — Durable PE Tarps for Covers, Storage & Transport

Main keyword: polyethylene tarpaulin • Long-tail examples: heavy duty polyethylene tarpaulin, waterproof PE tarpaulin for truck cover, UV resistant PE woven tarpaulin, PE tarp for agricultural storage.

Polyethylene tarpaulin (commonly called PE tarpaulin or PE tarp) is one of the most cost-effective and widely used technical covers in the world. Light yet strong, PE tarps are used in applications ranging from temporary roofing, truck covers and ground sheets to agricultural protection, camping and emergency sheltering. DERFLEX’s polyethylene tarpaulins combine reliable raw materials, modern weaving technology and robust finishing so you get a competitively priced tarp without sacrificing performance.

Product Introduction

DERFLEX Polyethylene Tarpaulin is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) threads woven into a stable fabric, then laminated or coated with protective layers as required. The result is a lightweight waterproof sheet with excellent tear resistance and UV stabilization. PE tarps are normally available in laminated (PE film laminated both sides), reinforced woven, or mesh variants for breathability.

Common construction types

• Laminated PE tarpaulin: Woven PE fabric laminated with a polyethylene film on one or both sides for full waterproofing and improved abrasion resistance.
• Coated PE tarpaulin: Woven base with a polymer coating (thin PE compound) for improved surface finish and water resistance.
• Breathable/vented PE tarpaulin: Micro-perforated or mesh versions for applications where condensation must be avoided (crop covers, temporary shelters).

Product Specifications (typical / customizable)

DERFLEX supplies polyethylene tarpaulins in multiple standard and custom formats. Typical ranges shown below — final specs are confirmed per order.

Product Colors

PE tarps are commonly color-coded for quick identification and application. DERFLEX standard colors include:

• Blue: General-purpose covers and temporary roofing
• Green: Agricultural covers and landscaping
• Silver / Reflective: Heat-reflective covers for reducing solar gain
• White: Clean appearance for events and food handling
• Black: Light blocking, privacy, or UV-block applications
• High-visibility Orange / Yellow: Safety and construction site use

Custom color matching is available for large orders to help brand products or match site requirements.

Product Features

• Waterproof & Weatherproof: Laminated PE film provides excellent water barrier properties for temporary and semi-permanent covers.
• Lightweight & Portable: Lower gsm options are easy to handle and transport — ideal for emergency or temporary use.
• UV Stabilization: Additives extend lifespan under sunlight and reduce brittleness and color fading.
• Tear & Abrasion Resistance: Woven scrim provides good mechanical strength relative to weight.
• Cost-effective: PE tarps provide economical coverage across large areas compared with heavier PVC tarpaulins.
• Fast to deploy: Easy to cut, fold and secure — ideal for rapid response in disaster relief or construction sites.

Product Applications

Polyethylene tarpaulin is a multi-purpose material used across many sectors:

• Construction & Scaffolding: Dust barriers, scaffolding wrap, temporary roofing and debris covers.
• Agriculture: Hay and crop covers, greenhouse liners, irrigation channel covers and ground sheeting.
• Transport & Trucking: Load covers, pallet capping and trailer liners.
• Disaster Relief & Emergency Shelters: Rapid deployment shelters, ground sheets and temporary roofing.
• Camping & Outdoor Recreation: Ground tarps, tent flysheets and picnic shelters.
• Event & Market Use: Stall covers, temporary marquees and signage backings.
• Industrial Storage: Temporary covers for machinery and material protection.

Anhui DER New Materials Co., Ltd. (DERFLEX) is a specialist technical textile and tarpaulin manufacturer with a focus on polymer-coated fabrics, PE and PVC tarpaulins, and laminated industrial materials. With multiple production lines for weaving, lamination and finishing, DERFLEX serves distributors, fabricators and OEM customers worldwide. The company emphasizes quality control, responsive customization and timely export logistics to over 120 countries.

Certificates of DERFLEX New Material

DERFLEX maintains a program of quality assurance and independent testing. Certificates and test reports commonly available include (examples — available on request or provided per order):

• ISO 9001 Quality Management (company-level quality system)
• SGS / Intertek test reports for tensile strength, hydrostatic resistance and UV aging (product-specific)
• RoHS / REACH compliance information for specific product lines (where applicable)

For projects requiring specific laboratory certification (e.g., flame retardancy, food-contact compliance or marine-grade testing), DERFLEX can arrange third-party tests and provide the registration documents on a per-batch basis.

Why Choose Us

• Competitive pricing: Economies of scale combined with careful material selection produce cost-efficient tarpaulins.

• Technical support: Guidance on product selection, installation methods, repair and maintenance best practices.

Installation Precautions & Best Practices

• Always secure tarpaulins using reinforced hems or borders to avoid tearing at attachment points.
• Use proper eyelets or grommets spaced at recommended intervals (typical 30–50 cm) and avoid point loads — distribute tension with webbing or rope.
• Do not place tarps over sharp edges; use protective edging or wooden battens to prevent abrasion.
• Leave ventilation gaps under covers used for long-term storage to reduce condensation and mold risks.
• Clean with mild soap and freshwater; avoid petroleum solvents which can degrade PE films.
• Store rolled and dry in a cool place; do not fold while wet to prevent mildew formation.

Use FAQs

Q — What is the difference between PE and PVC tarpaulins?

A — PE tarps are lighter and more economical; they are excellent for short-to-medium term covers and large area protection. PVC tarpaulins (PVC-coated polyester) are heavier, fully waterproof, more durable, and better for applications requiring frequent use, printing or stronger mechanical performance.

Q — How do I choose the right weight (gsm)?

A — For quick deployment and temporary use choose 60–150 gsm. For medium-term covers and general transport use consider 150–220 gsm. For heavy-duty or industrial applications choose 220–300 gsm or move to laminated PVC tarpaulins for greater durability.

Q — Can PE tarps be repaired in the field?

A — Yes. Small tears can be patched with compatible PE film patches and adhesives, or by heat-welding where equipment permits. For emergency fixes, waterproof tape can be used temporarily until a permanent patch or replacement is available.

Q — Are PE tarpaulins recyclable?

A — Polyethylene is a recyclable thermoplastic. Recycling availability depends on local facilities and whether the tarp is laminated with other non-PE layers. DERFLEX can provide guidance on end-of-life options and reduced-VOC or recyclable formulations on request.
