About tarpaulin sheeting

Tarpaulin is a strong, water-resistant covering sheet. The most common modern types are woven HDPE fabric laminated on both sides with LDPE, and polyester fabric coated with PVC. Polyethylene tarpaulin is light and economical, while PVC-coated tarpaulin is heavier and is used where long service life matters.

Tarpaulin is commonly traded by weight in grams per square meter (GSM), size, color, and whether it has hemmed edges and eyelets. UV stabilization is a common specification for outdoor use.

Storage and documents

What to include in a quote request

A clear request usually states the dimensions and thickness needed, the color or design, the standard or test the material must meet, the quantity per shipment and how often, the packing (rolls, cartons or pallets), the destination port and the Incoterm, for example FOB Colombo or CIF. A sample is often requested before a first order to check finish and color.
