*Poly tarp (Tarpaulin)

Poly Tarps are made with a plastic type material that is very strong and waterproof.  There is a polyethylene coating that covers over the nylon tarp material. Poly is the abbreviated term for polyethylene. Poly or polyethylene tarps can come with a U.V. treated coat over the poly tarp material which helps protect it for sunlight. Polyethylene (PE) is the largest volume polymer consumed in the world. It is a versatile polymer that offers high performance relative to other polymers and alternative materials such as glass, metal or paper.  Poly tarps are made with polyethylene, nylon tarp threading inside the material with rope reinforcement around the perimeter of the poly tarp material. Polyethylene (PE) resins are milky white, translucent substances derived from ethylene (CH29CH2). Polyethylene, with the chemical formula [8CH28CH28]n (where n denotes that the chemical formula inside the brackets repeats itself to form the plastic molecule) is made in low- and high-density forms. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has a density ranging from 0.91 to 0.93 g/cm3 (0.60 to 0.61 oz/cu in). The molecules of LDPE have a carbon backbone with side groups of four to six carbon atoms attached randomly along the main backbone. LDPE is the most widely used of all plastics, because it is inexpensive, flexible, extremely tough, and chemical-resistant. LDPE is molded into bottles, garment bags, frozen food packages, and plastic toys or in this case polyethylene tarps.
