Plastic Sheeting As Per IFRC/ICRC/IOM Standard

Specific sheet

190 ± 20g under ISO 3801 (equivalent to min 170 to 210 gsm max)

without bands weight

Complete sheet with

Plain sheet specific weight plus 10% additional weight for

bands weight

reinforcement bands under ISO 3801

Total weight

From min 187 to 231 gsm. Specific weight of bands from min 150 to

200 gsm max.

Sheet

Woven HDPE black fibers fabric, double-side lamination with LDPE coating, reinforced with 6 bands of 75 mm width woven black HDPE fibers fabric

and coated outside.

Pre-punched 8mm holes on the 2 side bands at 0.1m +/-10% intervals, positioned in the Centre of the bands (only the reinforcement bands are pre-

punched, not the tarpaulin itself).

Tensile strength

Min 500N, 15-25% elongation in warp and weft in plain sheet under ISO 1421-1

UV resistance

After 1500 hours UV under ASTM G53/94 (UVB 313 nm peak) minimum 80% of original value of the actual product and not less than 475N

Reinforcement

Min 700N as per ISO 1421-1, pulling lengthwise in a pre-punched 8mm hole with a hook of 8 mm wire diameter, at 200mm from the end of the band. UV

bands

resistance 80% of original value and not less than 665N.

Welding

Only 1 is allowed, lengthwise. The tarpaulin tensile strength crossways at the place of welding under ISO 1421-1 minimum 50% of original value and not

less than 400N
