Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 500g, 1000g, and 1200g polythene?
The numbers refer to weight per square metre, which correlates directly with thickness and strength. 500g suits light protection duties, whilst 1000g and 1200g provide progressively greater puncture resistance and durability for demanding applications.
How do I choose between clear and black polythene?
Clear polythene allows light transmission, making it ideal for greenhouse applications or where visibility is required. Black polythene blocks light completely, making it perfect for weed suppression, light-sensitive storage, or applications where UV protection is needed.
What makes fire retardant polythene different?
Fire retardant polythene contains additives that significantly slow flame spread and reduce heat release. It's essential for applications where fire safety regulations apply, particularly in public buildings and construction sites.
Can you supply custom sizes?
Absolutely. As both supplier and polythene manufacturer, we regularly produce custom widths, lengths, and even thicknesses to meet specific project requirements. Lead times vary depending on specifications, but we'll provide accurate timescales at quotation stage.
How should polythene be stored?
Store rolls upright in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Proper storage extends product life and maintains performance characteristics. We can provide specific storage recommendations based on the grade and intended application duration.
