Dust Suppression – Quarry Mesh Spec

The “Quarry Spec” mesh is designed specifically for dust suppression and quarry applications. Utilising a heavy-duty, mono-filament mesh, the dense weave catches and contains fine dust that is blown off the load during transit. The material is also extremely UV resistant with a service life of 4 to 5 years. This industry leading tarp life is achieved through:

  • Double reinforcement on all bow pockets (PVC wear layer)
  • Stainless hardware anchoring the tarp to the support bows
  • High strength seat belt material edging on all tarps
  • UV rated, high strength stitching

The construction features a woven polyester ripstop base fabric with a superior, double-sided PVC coating. This design ensures exceptional tear resistance and durability, making our tarps ideal for applications in construction, roading, and various other demanding environments.

High Temperature – Asphalt Application

The high temperature tarps are designed ideally for hot mix asphalt applications. The standard amount of coverage of an asphalt application tarp system is equivalent to a waterproof PVC system, but can be customised for more coverage.

  • Double reinforcing on pockets
