Reinforced Plastic Tarpaulin
The Hassan Muhammad & Company Reinforced Plastic Tarpaulin is a heavy-duty shelter and protection material designed for humanitarian relief, emergency response, and extended outdoor use in demanding climates. It is suitable for family shelters and other temporary protection requirements where strength, durability, and reliable weather resistance are essential.
Materials
The tarpaulin is manufactured from 190 gsm (±20 g/m²) woven polyethylene (HDPE) with inner black fibers and is laminated on both sides with LDPE coating for improved protection and durability.
The material has a minimum 1,000 denier construction and is designed to provide strong resistance against tearing and tensile stress.
