Located in the heart of Shandong’s industrial polymer cluster, Linyi Xinshengyang Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (Star Tarpaulins) operates a 30,000 m² smart manufacturing plant. We integrate raw polymer extrusion, precision weaving, automated double-sided lamination, robotic hemming, and eyelet riveting into a single quality-controlled workflow.
Utilizing 100% virgin High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin sourced directly from PetroChina and Sinopec, our high-speed melt-blown extrusion lines maintain uniform film thickness and tensile denier integrity. By controlling polymer viscosity and melt temperature in real-time, we eliminate micro-voids, ensuring base yarn tear strength exceeds ASTM standards.
Our automated weaving floor operates over 120 circular and flat looms capable of outputting tight mesh densities ranging from 12x12 to 16x16 yarns per square inch. This tight warp and weft structural matrix guarantees that 16x20 ft tarpaulins resist puncture, wind shearing, and structural stress during heavy-duty B2B field deployment.
Double-sided Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) lamination is applied under high temperature and hydraulic pressure. We incorporate 3-5% Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) and anti-oxidants directly into the liquid coating phase, forming a impermeable barrier against solar UV radiation, moisture ingress, chemical exposure, and microbial degradation.
Designed to perform under extreme ambient conditions, our 16ft x 20ft heavy-duty poly and PVC tarpaulins provide customizable protection tailored to global B2B sector requirements.
In building construction, 16x20 ft tarps serve as scaffolding enclosures, material stockpile shields, and concrete curing blankets. The high thermal stability prevents rapid moisture evaporation during concrete hydration, while flame-retardant (FR DIN 4102 B1 / EN 13501-1) additives ensure compliance with urban jobsite safety mandates.
Flatbed trailers, container side curtains, and ocean freight pallets demand rugged protection against highway wind shear, salt spray, and abrasion. Engineered with double-stitched poly-rope reinforced hems and drop-forged solid brass grommets, our 16x20 covers withstand multi-axis aerodynamic forces at highway speeds.
From grain-drying sheets to outdoor hay bale stacks, agricultural storage requires non-toxic, food-safe (FDA compliant) polymers. Silver/Black dual-tone 16x20 tarps reflect ambient solar thermal heat on the exterior side while maintaining light-blocking opacity on the interior, effectively preventing mold germination and condensation build-up.
Working directly with international procurement agencies and NGOs, our plant supplies high-tensile 16x20 temporary shelter tarpaulins. Equipped with reinforced triangular corner patches, high hydrostatic pressure resistance, and rapid-deployment folding geometry, these covers serve as critical emergency roofing in typhoon and earthquake relief operations.
We provide full OEM and private-label manufacturing options tailored to regional distribution channels, hardware retail chains, and industrial procurement buyers across 40+ countries.
Specify customized grommet placement pitch from 30 cm, 50 cm, to 100 cm increments. Eyelet material choices include non-rusting aluminum, heavy-gauge solid brass, stainless steel 316, or ultra-sonic welded plastic eyelets. Hems are reinforced with PP/PE cord welded seamlessly inside the heat-sealed perimeter.
Choose from standard dual-color combinations such as Blue/Orange, Green/Silver, Black/Silver, Camouflage, White Translucent, or specify custom RAL colors. Pigments are compounded with thermal stabilizers to resist color fading, chalking, and polymer embrittlement during extended sunlight exposure.
Each 16x20 tarp is individually folded, compressed, and packed inside heavy-duty transparent polybags complete with high-resolution printed artwork, brand labels, and EAN/UPC barcodes. Bulk shipments are packed in heavy-duty woven bales or export cartons optimized for 20ft / 40ft HQ container loading cubic efficiency.
To protect enterprise buyers against supply chain friction, our quality assurance framework aligns strictly with international standards, regulatory mandates, and destination port compliance protocols.
All PE and PVC raw material formulations comply with EU REACH SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern), RoHS environmental standards, and California Proposition 65 regulations. PFAS-free waterproofing treatments ensure environmental compliance across strict regulatory markets.
Our on-site testing facility executes 8-stage quality control routines for every batch: Mullen Burst Strength, QUV Accelerated Weathering (1000hr sunlight simulation), Hydrostatic Water Column, Tensile/Tear Resistance, Edge Weld Seam Shear, and Grommet Pull-Out Force Verification.
We issue comprehensive export clearance documentation including Certificate of Origin (Form A, Form E, CO), SGS/BV pre-shipment inspection certificates, commercial invoices, and packing lists. Partnered with Qingdao Port logistics, we guarantee fast container loading and shipping turnaround.
As environmental sustainability and smart logistics reshape global industrial supply chains, Star Tarpaulins is pioneering next-generation polymer technologies to enhance protective lifespan while minimizing carbon footprint.
Our R&D team is integrating post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefins and bio-based polyethylene derived from renewable plant feedstocks. By engineering mono-material PE tarpaulins (where base fabric, coating, and eyelets utilize identical polymer families), 100% closed-loop recycling can be achieved after product decommission.
By dispersing nano-scale graphene nanoplatelets into the LDPE coating layer, our upcoming high-performance series achieves a 35% increase in puncture resistance and 50% reduction in thermal degradation speed without adding structural GSM weight—ideal for high-stress military and industrial applications.
For critical B2B freight and grain storage monitoring, we are prototyping smart tarpaulins embedded with flexible RFID tags and printed moisture/temperature micro-sensors. Operators can scan asset conditions remotely via smartphone apps to prevent cargo spoilage in transit.

Technical insights compiled by our lead polymer engineers to assist wholesale importers, OEM brand managers, and B2B buyers in selecting the right tarpaulin specifications.
"Cut Size" refers to the dimensions of the raw fabric sheet before double-edge folding, rope-hemming, and corner reinforcement. "Finished Size" represents the actual dimensions of the finished product after perimeter hemming (typically 4% to 6% smaller, roughly 15.5 ft x 19.5 ft). We offer both standard Industry Cut Size production and Full Seamless Finished Size custom options based on client B2B contracting requirements.
Fabric GSM (Grams per Square Meter) correlates directly with structural tear strength and coating thickness. For short-term covering (1-3 months), 80-120 GSM is sufficient. For severe weather, construction scaffolding, and multi-season agriculture, 180-300 GSM PE tarps feature a 14x14 mesh density that prevents mechanical abrasion and withstands high wind loads for up to 24-36 months under continuous sun exposure.
For exports destined for the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Arizona (USA), we incorporate 3% to 5% Chimassorb® 944 Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) into both the extruded HDPE base yarns and the LDPE lamination coating layers. This chemical formulation neutralizes free radicals produced by UV radiation, extending sun resistance to over 500 KLY (Kilo-Langleys).
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity for custom GSM, color, and size runs is 3 metric tons per specification. For mixed-container orders containing standard running stocks (such as Blue/Silver or Green/Silver 16x20 ft tarps), MOQ starts from one 20ft container (~10-12 tons). Average production turnaround time is 15 to 25 days from pre-production artwork sign-off.
Yes. We manufacture fire-retardant (FR) poly and PVC tarpaulins treated with antimony trioxide and halogenated flame retardants. Our products meet international building safety codes including EN 13501-1 Class B-s1,d0, DIN 4102 B1, and NFPA 701 standard methods for fire tests of flame-resistant textiles.
Aluminum eyelets offer light weight and cost efficiency for general hardware retail lines. Drop-forged solid brass grommets provide superior anti-corrosion resilience against marine salt air and industrial chemical exposure. Ultrasonic plastic eyelets offer 100% rust-proof performance and full recyclability alongside the poly sheet body.
