*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.
