Extra Heavy Duty Clear Polythene Sheeting 1000 Gauge
Extra heavy duty clear polythene sheeting (1000 gauge) is a thick, durable plastic film designed for demanding protection tasks across construction, industrial, agricultural and domestic environments.
Manufactured from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), this heavy duty polythene provides excellent resistance to moisture, dust, wind and debris while still allowing light to pass through. The transparent finish makes it ideal where visibility or light transmission is required, such as temporary glazing or protective coverings.
At 1000 gauge (approximately 250 microns) thick, this ultra-strong plastic sheet offers excellent tear resistance while remaining flexible enough to cut, fold and install easily.
