Cross Laminated Tarpaulin – Multi-layer HDPE film engineered for horticulture, agriculture, machinery, mining, warehousing, construction & industrial covering.
Made in India on American cross-lamination technology, lab-tested to global standards.
What is Cross Laminated Tarpaulin
Cross laminated tarpaulin is built from multiple layers of high-density polyethylene tape, laid in a criss-cross (0°/90°) pattern and laminated between two outer film layers. This cross-oriented construction gives the sheet strength in every direction, not just along one axis — a key difference from standard woven tarpaulin, where strength runs mainly along the weave and a small cut can run the length of the sheet. In cross laminated tarpaulin, the crossing layers stop a tear from propagating, so a puncture stays a puncture instead of splitting the whole sheet.
Every roll is UV stabilized during extrusion, meaning the stabilizer is compounded into the polymer itself rather than coated on afterward. That matters for anyone buying material that will sit outdoors for months – an uncoated film chalks, stiffens, and cracks within a season under strong sun, while a properly stabilized sheet holds its flexibility and colour for years. It’s also why lab testing matters more here than for most materials: accelerated UV exposure testing (192 hours, per IS 14611:2016 Annex G) is the one number that tells a buyer whether a supplier’s stabilizer package is real or minimal.

Where Cross Laminated Tarpaulin is Used
One film family engineered across weight classes for eight core sectors.
Horticulture
Greenhouse and polytunnel covers built for season-long UV exposure without embrittlement. Light 35–90 GSM grades let diffused sunlight through while blocking wind and frost. Also used for mulching and nursery shade netting support.
Agriculture
Silage and hay bale covers that stay 100% waterproof through monsoon and storage. Canal and pond lining grades resist chemical exposure from fertilizer runoff. Cross-oriented strength stops tie-down points from tearing loose in wind.
Housing
Temporary roof and framing covers that protect timber and insulation from rain during construction. Withstands repeated tensioning across rafters without puncturing at rope/strap points. Heavy 150–200 GSM grades hold up through multi-week builds.
Machinery
Export packing wraps that protect shipped equipment from corrosion and moisture in transit. Puncture-resistant against sharp edges, straps, and container handling. Custom sizing available to wrap irregular machine profiles.
Mining
Stockpile covers engineered for continuous outdoor exposure and abrasion from wind-blown grit. 250–300 GSM grades suppress dust while resisting UV degradation over multi-year deployment. Easily handles large-format single-piece coverage.
Industrial
Truck, cargo, and equipment covers rated for repeated loading, folding, and highway wind loads. Chemical-inert construction resists diesel, oil, and general industrial exposure. Available in heavy grades for rough daily handling.
Construction
Curing covers that retain moisture for concrete cure cycles while blocking rain ingress. Site enclosure grade sheeting for dust and weather control across active sites. High tear resistance holds up against scaffolding, rebar, and foot traffic.
Warehousing
Pallet and rack-level covers protecting sensitive cargo from dust and moisture indoors. Lightweight low-GSM grades for easy draping and removal during pick cycles. Also used as floor-level moisture barriers under stored goods.
