Flexible Woven Tarpaulin
The Hassan Muhammad & Company Flexible Woven Tarpaulin is a durable, reinforced shelter material designed for humanitarian relief, emergency response, and long-term outdoor use. It is engineered to provide reliable protection in demanding climates and is particularly suitable for use with family shelters and temporary relief structures.
Manufactured from woven high-density polyethylene (HDPE) black-fiber fabric and coated on both sides with low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the tarpaulin combines flexibility with strong resistance to water, UV exposure, and fire. Its reinforced band construction and pre-punched fixing holes make installation easier while improving overall durability in field conditions.
Materials
The tarpaulin is made from woven HDPE black-fiber fabric with double-sided LDPE coating. It includes six reinforcement bands, each approximately 75 mm wide (±3%), manufactured from woven black HDPE fibers and coated externally.
The side reinforcement bands include 8 mm pre-punched holes positioned at approximately 0.1 m intervals (±10%). These holes are located only within the reinforcement bands to maintain the strength of the main tarpaulin sheet.
