Silver tarps also come as fire retardant poly tarps and can be used for many of the same uses; and more; as a standard poly tarp. A silver fire retardant tarp has all of the same uses as a standard poly tarp, including being waterproof and UV and rot resistant, and is composed the same, with 14 by 14 dernier count and thickness of 12 mil. While fire retardant tarps are commonly used by the military, a fire retardant silver poly tarp has additional uses that require it to be fire and heat resistant, mostly notable in construction work.

Our silver fire retardant tarps come in a number of sizes, with the smallest being six by ten square feet to the largest of 40 by 60 square feet. While these tarps can be used for almost anything, as the tarps are durable and fire retardant, the fire retardant properties are particularly important in construction work. Winter outdoor construction work requires workers to work in cold conditions, and, to keep heat inside the work space, fire retardant tarps are used for their containment properties when heat is generated by forced air heaters. Other instances in which a fire retardant silver poly tarp is needed include camping, particularly in building a fire near a tarp shelter, and for use in any work area needing protection from the sun and static electricity.
