Testimonials:
"We needed poly tarps at the best price fast. When we found Tarps Plus, we saw the prices and we were happy we found such a low price but we needed over seven truck loads fast. We called customer service, they answered all our questions and the poly tarps were delivered across the country in 48 hours! The quality of each poly tarp was much better than what we have seen from other companies and the service was outstanding. - Edward J. U.S.A.C.E. Jacksonville, FL."

Poly tarps can come in all shapes, sizes and brands. Here at Tarps Plus we
make the "Tarps Plus" brand but there are many others on the market like Tuff
Tarps or polymax tarps. 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.
People always ask what are poly tarps made out of? Poly tarps are made with polyethylene, nylon tarp threading inside the material with a 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 aka poly tarps.
Poly tarps are the most popular and common tarps worldwide. They
are used for earthquake, tornado and hurricane relief. In the incipient stages
of Tarps Plus, canvas tarps were the only form of tarps that existed. In late 1950s the first
polyethylene tarps were introduced and basically started a tarp revolution. The
poly tarps were an instant hit due to being 100% waterproof,
less expensive and were flexible in Arctic weather which was a problem for
canvas tarps in cold climates. Tarps Plus has been offering these tarps to
the American public since it's inception which is why we are proud to be called
premiere authority of poly tarps. |
