Knowledge of Tarpaulin Application:

So, from the previous step, you know that tarpaulin is a raw material itself. The usage of plastic tarpaulin started long back from 17^th century with the sailors and now with lots of steps and revolution we have reached to an Era of Tarpaulin. It’s really hard to make a proper segment of the usage. Although looking at the behavioral, usage and enquiry we have tried to panelize it for the help of customer.

For the help of our consumer usage and understanding we have divided the application area of tarpaulin in 5 major categories:

Agricultural Purpose and Usage
Industrial Purpose and Usage
Tent House and Transporter Usage
Sports Application Usage
Miscellaneous Usage

a. Agricultural purpose & Usage:

If you need a tarpaulin for your agricultural usage and purposes like, Green House, Poly House, Azolla Sheet, Vermibed, Mulch Film, Garden Bed, Fumigation Cover etc. For this purpose, you will need a tarpaulin which is 100% Waterproof and must be UV stabilized.

So, what does it mean by “UV Stabilized”

UV Stabilization is a special quality of a tirpal by which it protects goods under it from harmful UV rays of sun. These tarps contain a special layer of 2-hydroxy-benzophenone and 2-hydroxy-benzotriazole derivatives which protects the tarpaulin and delayed the UV destruction.
