A common predicament contractors and builders come across is the concern of which type of plastic sheeting is best for outdoor use. When presented with this concern, the main factor you need to take into consideration is the strength of the plastic sheet you use. When exposed to the elements, plastic sheeting must have the strength and durability to resist weather, UV rays, and other environmental factors. Our extensive list of specialty sheets shows special types of plastics that are durable against different elements:

This type of polycarbonate sheet also performs well in harsh chemical environments. With the ability of protecting property from sun damage, and performing well in harsh chemical environments, abrasion resistant polycarbonate is strong enough to withstand outside elements.
Flame Retardant Plastic Sheeting: Makrolon low flammability plastic sheeting is a virtually unbreakable polycarbonate sheet that is not only flame inhibiting, but is also UV-stable. Flame retardant sheets from Makrolon are made under strict quality specifications to make sure it meets ISO certification guidelines.
