Plastic sheeting applications

What is plastic sheeting used for?

Plastic SheetingPlastic sheeting, is commonly referred to as poly sheeting, plastic on a roll, polyethylene film, visqueen, and plastic sheets. The sheeting on a rolls have a variety of commercial and industrial applications.

Poly sheeting is waterproof, rot proof, and is resistant to numerous chemicals. Many industries use the poly sheeting such as; agriculture, construction, electronics, automotive, lumber and more. These sheets are ideal for water proofing products and loads during storage and transport.

The sheeting rolls come in :

1 mil, 1.5 mil, 2 mil, 3 mil, 4 mil, 6 mil, 8 mil, 10 mil

 

Plastic sheeting applications

 

Poly sheeting for construction

Large plastic sheeting is ideal for residential and commercial house wrapping. This has one of the highest levels of water and weather resistant materials in the market.

  • Erosion control covers
  • Lead & asbestos abatement
  • Remediation liners & covers

Agriculture film

This film is manufactured with UV inhibitors and thermal stabilizers. They help to protect against the harsh weather conditions in order to last longer. It’s high puncture and tear resistant, high elongation, and high outdoor longevity.

plastic sheeting for agriculture

  • Agriculture
  • Grain covers and hay/silage covers
  • Machine and equipment coverings

Pallet covers

Plastic pallet covers or bin liners and are provided in continuous rolls. The sheets are perforated to reinforce and help withhold damage to pallets during shipping. These poly sheets are perfect for storage or transport.

  • Construction
  • Landscaping
  • Masonry
Pallet Covers

    Plastic sheeting for lumber

    Used best in extreme conditions, lumber wrap is commonly used in the lumber and construction industries.

    • Lumber and construction
    • Inhibits Mold Growth

      Plastic Strapping Buckles

      Image
      Plastic and Wire Buckles The work volume, production speed required, and required strength deter­mines closure method. For low volume, low tension applications, buckles are a good method of joining plastic strapping. This is particularly true if portability and cost are major issues. One can easily hand tension the strap, with or without the use of a hand pull or crank tensioner, and apply the buckle without the need of a power source. The metal buckles are stronger than the plastic ones and can withstand greater tensioning. Plastic buck­les are used on lighter weight loads, espe­cially in agriculture, as they can be easily hand applied in the field without the need for tools. Always Use: Phosphate finished buckles on bonded and all woven cord strapping. Galvanized finished buckles are required for composite cord strapping Bright finished buckles are for polypropylene strapping.   Read more on the other types of plastic strap closures and check out our selection of buckles

      Poly sheeting for construction applications

      Image
      The construction industry uses poly sheeting. Poly sheeting for the construction industry   provides a temporary support of existing structures and the soil their on. The polyethylene material stands up to the elements and pressures during construction. Their biggest advantages to working in the construction industry is that they're water-proof, rot-proof, and resistant to chemicals. Poly sheeting can be used for construction, landscaping, masonry and more. Poly sheets are highly durable, have high strength, and are tear resistant. Plastic sheeting is useful for industrial applications, protection against the elements on construction sites, moisture and gas barriers and many other innovative uses. Poly sheeting for construction benefits: Construction enclosures Erosion control Shipping and packaging Insulation membranes We offer many poly sheeting packaging supplies in different mil thicknesses: 1 mil ,  1.5 mil ,  2 mil ,  3 mil ,  4 mil ,  6 mil ,  8 mil ,  10 mil

      Coffee Pods - a Sustainable Solution or Fleeting Fad?

      Image
        Whether you use them or not, single-use coffee pods have taken the world by storm... and with quite a large amount of controversy. So what made a luxury coffee producer choose aluminum for their coffee pods?   Luxury coffee producer Nespresso chose to use aluminum to create their pre-portioned capsules because it offered the best protection from oxidation, preserved coffee freshness, and prevented food waste through leftovers. (According to the Sustainability Manager at Nespresso, the kitchen sink is the largest source of consumption of coffee made by standard drip pots.) Now, we know individual coffee pods can be controversial, even to the point of attempted ban in the US and Europe, and creating aluminum is no easy process either. So why did Nespresso choose Aluminum where Keurig chose plastic?   In 2009, Nespresso decided to source sustainable aluminum with the help of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. By 2015, Nespresso has 14 non-government organizations
