Polyethylene cloth - what is the material

Polyethylene fabric is a universal material that is widely used in private construction, industrial construction and light industry. Sound insulation, waterproofing and thermal insulation are provided by the physical and chemical properties of the PPE web.  The material is made by foaming butane-propane mixture. Polyethylene fabric is used for the substrate under laminated floor coverings to hide small defects between the base and the laminate finish coating, as well as as a protective wrapping material.

Where is the PPE cloth used?reflective insulation to improve the energy efficiency of engineering systems

  • thermal insulation of pipelines and engineering systems
  • sound insulation of ventilation ducts
  • sealing of technical seams 
  • thermal insulation and sound insulation 
  • sealing of technical seams
  • wall insulation 

1-2 mm – used as a packaging material and as a lining material when transporting furniture, household appliances to protect against mechanical damage.

2-3 mm – used as a substrate for all types of flooring.

4-5 mm – used in industrial construction as thermal insulation and sound insulation for concrete screed and in floor coverings.

6-10 mm – used for insulation and sound insulation in elevator shafts, as well as a material for covering concrete screeds and elements of monolithic structures in winter.

What are the main properties of the PPE web?Water-resistant, water-repellent insulator material against steam and moisture

  • Heat insulator, sound insulation of walls, ceilings and roofs
  • Chemically resistant to building materials - cement, concrete, lime, gypsum
  • It is not susceptible to damage by rodents and insects
  • Excellent adhesion when glued to any surfaces
  • Resistance to deformation - has good cushioning properties
  • Increased microbiological resistance - does not respond to the effects of fungi and mold
  • It is safe for health, does not cause allergies.


Quality stability, technical characteristics, and favorable cost have made polyethylene canvas an extremely popular material used in many areas - both in construction, light industry, and in everyday life.
