High density orange polyethylene rip free tarp, Thickness 3 mil

Optimize worksite safety with polyethylene roll!

Ideal for creating an effective containment zone, this robust 3-mil-thick material protects against dust and contaminants, especially during asbestos removal work. Easy to handle, it meets the most stringent safety standards. This fabric is widely used in the construction industry to establish a containment zone, particularly during dust-generating work. Indeed, it is recommended for work with asbestos-containing materials. It can also be used as a temporary wall to protect against wind and cold when working outdoors in winter. For asbestos removal, it can be used to cover large pieces of furniture or other bulky items. In the construction industry, this containment fabric is also known as “rip”.

Special features of this polyethylene containment fabric:

Easy to handle and install. Its material makes it highly resistant to tearing, making it ideal for demanding environments such as asbestos removal sites or temporary containment areas.

Application of this polyethylene containment fabric:

1.         Surface preparation: Make sure the area to be covered is clean and dry for optimum adhesion.

2.         Cutting the material: Measure and cut the roll to the dimensions required for your containment.

3.         Fastening: Use specialized adhesive tape, fastening clips or anchor bars to hold the polyethylene in place.

4.         Sealing joints: For effective insulation, apply sealing tape around the edges to prevent infiltration of dust or contaminants.

5.         Check: Inspect the installation to ensure there are no cracks or loose areas.

This process ensures a robust and secure containment barrier, ideal for asbestos removal or decontamination work.

Maintenance and service life of this polyethylene containment fabric:

It should be stored in a dry place, away from UV rays, to preserve its strength. When handling, avoid excessive folding, which could weaken the material. Proper care guarantees optimum protection and long-lasting use.

FAQ about orange high-density polyethylene containment fabric:

1. Why choose an orange containment fabric rather than another colour?

The colour orange is used to improve visibility on construction sites, making it easier to identify containment zones and reducing the risk of accidents. It also helps differentiate between safe and active work areas.

2. Can this fabric be reused after an asbestos removal project?

No, after use in a contaminated environment, we recommend that you do not reuse the fabric to avoid dispersing hazardous particles. It should be disposed of in accordance with current regulations on hazardous waste.

3. Is this fabric suitable for outdoor environments?

Yes, thanks to its weather resistance, it can be used outdoors to protect against wind and dust. Its high-density material gives it good durability, even in difficult conditions.
