Flexible Woven Tarpaulin - IFRC/ICRC Standards - 4 x 6m & 4 x 60m

Description

Flexible woven tarpaulins are used mainly for temporary shelter or personal protection.
– For individual shelter purpose, it is recommended to use the 4m x 6m.
– For community shelter purpose, it is recommended to use the 4m x 60m rolls.
– If ready-made tarpaulins are not available they can be cut out of the rolls (10 per roll).

The 4 x 6m and 4 x 60m sheet has 6 reinforcing bands to provide reinforced attachment points. The side bands are provided with pre-punched holes. Attachment systems, such as ropes, nails, etc, should take advantage of the reinforcing bands and the pre-punched holes.

Expected life span of 2 years minimum in the strongest tropical condition.

Technical Specifications

Material for the plain sheet Made of woven high-density black polyethylene (HDPE) fibers, warp x weft, laminated on both sides with low density polyethylene (LDPE) coating, with reinforced rims by heat sealing on all sides, (or 2 sides heat sealing and 2 sides double stitching), and a 3 to 5 millimeters diameter PE or PP (flexible materials) rope on the edge, inside the hem. 1000 denier minimum.
Material for the reinforced attachment points 6 bands of 75mm +/-3% width made of woven black HDPE fibres fabric and coated with grey LDPE on the outside.  Pre-punched 8mm holes on the 2 side bands at 0.1m +/-10% intervals, positioned in the centre of the bands (only the reinforcement bands are pre-punched, not the tarpaulin itself). Side bands can be positioned at maximum 10mm from the edge. Dimension tolerance on the distance between two bands: +/-10mm
Dimensions 4 x6m: 6m minimum length, width 4m +/- 1% , with 6 bands and pre-punched holes
4 x60m: 60m minimum length, width 4m +/- 1% , with 6 bands and pre-punched holes
Weight, plain sheet only, excluding the bands weight 190g/m² ± 20g under ISO 3801 (equivalent to 170g/m² minimum to 210g/m² maximum)
Weight, complete sheet including bands weight.  Plain sheet specific weight plus 10% additional weight for the reinforcement bands under ISO 3801. Total weight from 187g/m² minimum and 231g/m² maximum. Specific weight of the bands from 150g/ m² minimum and 200g/m² maximum.
Tear strength in plain sheet at state of origin Minimum 100N under ISO 4674-1B 2003, with a test piece of 200x200mm as described in ISO 4674 annex B, in plain sheet.
Tensile strength in plain sheet at state of origin Minimum 500N and 15% to 35% elongation in warp and weft in plain sheet under ISO 1421-1.
UV resistance of the plain sheet, measured as remaining tensile strength after UV exposure The tarpaulin tensile strength under ISO 1421-1 after 1500 hours UV under ASTM G53/94 (UVB 313 nm peak) must be: Minimum 80% of the original value of the actual product, AND not less than 475N. To be tested in the plain sheet.
Tensile strength in the reinforcement bands at state of origin Minimum 700N inside the reinforcement bands as per ISO 1421-1, pulling lengthwise in a pre-punched hole of 8mm with a hook of 8mm wire diameter. To test in 2 holes in each side bands
UV resistance of the reinforcement bands measured as remaining tensile strength after UV exposure The reinforcement bands tensile strength under ISO 1421-1 after 1500 hours UV under ASTM G53/94 (UVB 313 nm peak) must be: Minimum 80% of the original value of the actual product, AND not less than 665N. To be tested inside the reinforcement bands as described above.
Welding Only one (01) is allowed along the middle of the sheet, length wise. The tarpaulin tensile strength crossways at the place of the welding under ISO 1421-1 must be: Minimum 50% of the original value of the actual product, AND not less than 400N.
Fire Retardant Fire retardant option available as per customer requirements
Opacity measured as minimum reflection and maximum transmission, in the range of visible light and near infrareds. Measured under ISO 13468-1. Values should be measured respectively from 350 to 750nm, and from 750 to 2500nm wavelength. The final result is the average of the averages in each range. Minimum total reflection: 35% Maximum total reflexion: 50% Maximum total transmission: 5%
Colour White sun reflective on both sides of the sheet. Grey coating on the outside of the bands. Inner black fibres to ensure opacity. White Coating colour definition:
L.a.b Coordinates under ISO 105J01
Minimum L: 82
“a” value between -1.7 and +1.5
“b” value between -4.5 and 0
Logo Printing As per customer requirement subject to Minimum Order Quantity
