Allplas offers a wide variety of high-quality polythene plastic and PVC products designed for practical use in horticultural, agricultural, industrial, and commercial sectors. Our range includes polythene sheeting, films, bags, and clear PVC. We manufacture these products to meet strict quality standards, ensuring they are durable, reliable, and fit for their intended use. Our solutions are robust and suitable for applications that require high tensile strength, UV resistance, and specific material characteristics.
Understanding Polythene Plastics
Polythene is one of the most widely used plastics in the world, with millions of tonnes produced each year. It is a thermoplastic polymer known for its versatility, lightweight nature, and good chemical resistance. The properties of this material can be carefully controlled during production, leading to different types categorised mainly by their density.
The Environmental Impact and Sustainability
As a responsible company, we understand the environmental effects of plastic production and waste. We are dedicated to promoting sustainability in our operations and products. The discussions around polythene products and their carbon footprint are essential. We support responsible use and disposal of plastics and encourage recycling whenever possible. Our focus on quality and durability means our products are designed to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste. We strive to provide sustainable solutions that meet environmental standards.
UV Stabilised Polythene Sheeting

Key Features and Longevity
UVI polythene sheeting comes in widths of 2m, 4m, 7.3m, 9.2m, 11.1m, and 14m, available in various lengths. This polyethene is guaranteed to last for at least five years. It is ideal for numerous growing applications, providing protection and promoting plant growth.
Available Thicknesses and Widths
We offer a great range of thicknesses and widths, allowing customers to find exactly what they need. For custom requirements, we encourage clients to email us, and we will assist as much as possible.
General Polythene Sheeting
Our extensive stock of general polythene sheeting serves various purposes, from light dust coverings to heavy-duty industrial membranes. This versatile plastic is essential for many projects.
Understanding Polythene Thickness
Explaining polythene thickness (gauge or micron) can be challenging. As a reference, a standard black bin liner typically measures between 25 and 40 microns (mu), equivalent to 100 to 160 gauge.
The thinnest sheeting we offer is 62.5 micron (250 gauge). This is around 6 to 10 times thicker than a typical bin liner. While still relatively thin and lightweight, it has good protective qualities, making it a practical dust sheet or membrane under wood flooring.
Black Polythene Sheeting
We provide high-quality black polythene sheeting in widths of 4 metres (13ft), 8 metres (26ft), and 14 metres (46ft). This product has a thickness of 112.5 micron (450 gauge).
Primary Applications
This heavy-duty black polythene is mainly made for use as silage sheeting in agriculture. It is also effective for covering large garden areas to control weeds and nettles. Its opacity blocks light, preventing unwanted growth. This rigid material offers an affordable and practical solution for site preparation.
Clear PVC Sheeting
Our UV-stabilised Clear PVC is a high-quality, transparent, and flexible material. Its transparency and durability make it suitable for various applications where visibility and protection are needed.
Versatile Uses
This material is used for tent windows; protective upholstery covers and safeguarding soft artworks like cross-stitch and embroidery. Other popular applications include book covers, jigsaw puzzle protectors, shed windows, and roll-up doors for greenhouses.
Thickness
The material is sold in various lengths and is available in seven thicknesses: 0.35mm, 0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm.
