View Product Details
Direct factory supply from Linyi Xinshengyang Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (Star Tarpaulins). Fully compliant with NFPA 701, CPAI-84, and DIN 4102-1 B1 fire protection standards.
Founded in 2006, Linyi Xinshengyang Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (operating globally as Star Tarpaulins) is an industry-leading manufacturer specializing in high-performance Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) industrial covers.
Operating a modernized 30,000 m² manufacturing plant in Wanggou Industrial Park, Linyi City, Shandong Province, we maintain full vertical integration. From resin masterbatch blending and high-tenacity yarn extrusion to water-jet weaving, double-sided lamination, ultrasonic heat welding, and eyelet punching—every manufacturing phase is audited under stringent ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality systems.
With an annual output exceeding 20,000 metric tons, our engineered flame-retardant tarps are exported to over 40 countries, protecting high-risk construction scaffolding, oil refineries, military deployments, and maritime logistics setups globally.
The global transition toward stricter site safety regulations, urban infill building codes, and environmental liability mitigation has redefined technical specifications for protective coverings.
Global municipal authorities (such as US OSHA, European REACH/EN, and Middle Eastern Civil Defense) mandate self-extinguishing covers with certified char-length and smoke-density limits on urban construction sites to eliminate catastrophic fire propagation.
Traditional brominated additives are being phased out due to toxic dioxin emission concerns during incineration. Modern procurement shifts rapidly toward halogen-free, phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic masterbatches compatible with 100% recyclable polyolefins.
B2B procurement managers prioritize multi-season life cycles. Incorporating Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) alongside flame retardants prevents polymer photo-oxidation, preserving tear strength across extreme desert and alpine outdoor exposures.
Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) are inherently flammable hydrocarbons with a low Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI ~17.5%). Without chemical modification, polyolefin film ignites rapidly and drips molten polymer, accelerating flame spread.
At Star Tarpaulins, our materials research laboratory utilizes advanced melt-blending techniques to achieve an LOI exceeding 28.0% to 32.0%. We introduce additive packages directly into the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) core slit tape extrusion and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) lamination layers:
Our engineered tarpaulins undergo continuous testing in ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories to ensure certified compliance across key regional jurisdictions:

From raw polymer virgin resin to finished heat-sealed tarpaulin covers, every batch undergoes rigid quality gates to guarantee zero-defect field operation.
Gravimetric dosing of virgin 5000S HDPE resin, high-purity flame retardant masterbatches, color pigments, and anti-UV additives ensuring homogeneous melt dynamics.
Extrusion through precise flat dies followed by water-quench cooling and orientation orientation stretching, yielding high-denier tape lines with superior tensile modulus.
High-speed circular looms and flat weaving machine banks construct tight grid structures (mesh counts from 8x8 up to 14x14 warp/weft density) for structural stability.
Dual extrusion lamination coats both sides of the woven substrate with flame-retardant LDPE films, sealing inter-thread voids against liquid ingress.
Computerized cutting tables process jumbo rolls according to exact customer dimensional parameters, minimizing fabric edge fraying and sizing variances.
High-temperature thermal air-welding channels seal heavy-duty PP reinforcing ropes along outer perimeter hems to distribute point loads away from eyelets.
Solid aluminum, brass, or stainless steel eyelets are hydraulically set at regular intervals (50cm / 100cm pitch) with molded plastic corner reinforcement boots.
Destructive laboratory testing (hydrostatic head, burn char length testing, strip tensile pulls) accompanies automated visual surface inspection prior to export packing.
Tailored technical tarpaulin configurations designed to meet specific environmental and regulatory challenges across diverse industries.
In high-density commercial construction, grinding sparks and electrical hot-work pose constant ignition threats. Our NFPA 701 white FR scaffolding sheets allow 70%+ natural light transmission while containing debris and preventing flame spread.
Carrying chemical compounds, bulk grain, or volatile materials requires fire-safe truck side curtains and top covers. Flame-retardant PE/PVC covers minimize disaster risks during highway transit or prolonged outdoor queuing at logistics terminals.
Exposed to severe chemical vapors, saltwater corrosion, and flammable atmospheric hydrocarbons, our heavy-duty anti-static and fire-retardant tarps act as essential habitats and equipment shrouds in extraction zones.
Navigating cross-border procurement mandates expert familiarity with regional testing standards, import customs classifications, and specialized container loading ergonomics.
At Star Tarpaulins, we provide full OEM and private-label packaging integration for international hardware chains, industrial distributors, and governmental procurement bodies:
As polymer engineering advances, our ongoing R&D initiatives focus on bringing next-generation materials science into high-volume commercial production.
Integrating certified mass-balanced bio-HDPE synthesized from organic waste feedstocks, drastically reducing product carbon footprint while maintaining identical tensile strength and FR performance.
Developing functional carbon nanotube (CNT) interlayers capable of monitoring structural integrity and detecting micro-combustion events in real time on critical infrastructure scaffolds.
Fluoro-free nano-textured surface top-coats that repel airborne industrial grime, heavy soot, and oily chemical residues, maintaining high light transmission and low surface weight over extended deployments.
Direct technical insights from our engineering team to assist B2B procurement officers and industrial buyers.
Standard waterproof PE tarpaulins prevent liquid water penetration via double-sided LDPE lamination but remain combustible when exposed to an open flame. Fire Retardant (FR) tarpaulins incorporate chemical additives into both the inner woven HDPE core and outer LDPE coating layers. These additives cause the tarp to self-extinguish within seconds of removing the ignition source, dramatically minimizing fire propagation risks on job sites while retaining 100% waterproof seal performance.
For North America (USA & Canada), specify NFPA 701 (Method 1 or Method 2) or CPAI-84 for temporary enclosure tarps. For European Union markets, compliance with EN 13501-1 (Class B-s1, d0) or DIN 4102-1 B1 is typically mandatory for commercial scaffolding and indoor temporary partitions. We provide certified laboratory test documentation matching your target region.
Lightweight covers and temporary dust screens usually use 90 GSM to 130 GSM PE fabric. Standard construction scaffolding and weather protection require 150 GSM to 220 GSM PE fabric. For long-term severe weather exposure, high-wind scaffolding, or heavy transport covers, we recommend heavy-duty 250 GSM to 320 GSM PE tarpaulin or heavy-duty 500 GSM to 900 GSM PVC coated tarpaulin fabrics.
For standard stocked color specifications, minimum order quantities start at one 20ft container mix. For custom GSM, specialized colors, specific eyelet spacing, or custom OEM printed logos, our MOQ is 3 metric tons per specification. Normal factory lead time ranges from 15 to 25 calendar days following artwork sign-off and deposit receipt.
We incorporate high-grade Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) at a 3.0% to 5.0% concentration level directly during polymer melt extrusion. This chemical compound scavenges free radicals generated by solar UV radiation, preventing polymer backbone degradation, color fading, and loss of tensile tear strength across multi-year field deployments.
