Fire Retardant Polyethylene Film

Films Protective Company is a manufacturer of fire retardant polyethylene film produced from LDPE/PE resin with a controlled flame-retardant additive system. The film is made for construction site covering, temporary dust screening, hanging barriers, surface draping, and industrial wrapping where standard polythene sheeting may not meet the required safety level. Common grades are supplied from 50-250 um, with color, print, roll format, and certification coverage matched to actual use conditions and test documentation.

Product Overview

This LDPE/PE covering film is designed for temporary separation, site screening, and safer industrial covering work. The film remains flexible for cutting, taping, hanging, draping, and wrapping, while the flame-retardant additive system helps reduce flame spread behavior under defined test conditions. It is not a decorative surface protection film, heat-shrink film, baking film, or high-temperature PET/PI material.

For site use, flame retardant LDPE film can be supplied in translucent, white, orange, or opaque versions. Translucent film allows partial light transmission, white film gives a cleaner internal screening appearance, and orange film improves recognition around restricted areas or active refurbishment sections. A 50-80 um grade is usually easier for light dust separation and short-term draping; 150-250 um film is better for heavier hanging, equipment covering, temporary containment, and industrial wrapping.

Technical documents should be checked against the exact product version. DIN 4102, EN 13501, LPS1207, NFPA 701, and ASTM E84 are different fire performance systems, so one report should not be applied to every thickness, color, print, or additive package. Before production release, film grade, roll thickness record, retained sample, and requested certificate scope should be reviewed together.

Benefits

• Helps reduce flame spread risk compared with standard LDPE film when the correct tested grade is selected.
• LDPE/PE structure stays flexible for hanging, draping, taping, cutting, and temporary fixing.
• Translucent, white, orange, and opaque versions support different screening and visibility needs.
• Thickness selection covers 50-80 um light screening through to 150-250 um temporary containment sheeting.
• Certificate matching can be controlled by thickness, color, print, additive system, and roll structure.
• Roll format supports construction site covering, internal screening, and industrial wrapping.

What should be checked before using LDPE/PE film for dust screening, hanging, or industrial wrapping?

Before selecting the film for site screening or wrapping, construction teams should confirm thickness, hanging load, fixing method, overlap area, and exposure condition. A lighter 50-80 um roll is convenient for short-term screening, while heavy draping or wrapping normally needs 150-250 um film with better puncture resistance and elongation. A 75 mm overlap with compatible fixing tape is a practical reference for reducing open gaps along joins. If the area contains dust-sensitive equipment or static-sensitive materials, anti-static fire retardant polythene sheeting should be specified separately.

Applications

• Construction site covering for refurbishment zones, interior partitions, and temporary work areas.
• Temporary screening for dust separation and controlled access areas.
• Hanging and draping protection over surfaces, equipment, furniture, or unfinished work.
• Industrial wrapping for machinery, pallets, components, and large parts needing safer temporary cover.
• Orange site film for visible hazard separation and white film for cleaner internal screening.
• LDPE/PE covering where standard polythene film may not meet site safety requirements.

How should certification be confirmed for DIN 4102, EN 13501, LPS1207, NFPA 701, or ASTM E84 projects?

Certification should be confirmed by the exact film version, not only by the product name. A 250 um orange roll, a 65 um white roll, a printed warning film, and an anti-static grade may require different test coverage. LPS1207 is commonly linked with temporary protective covering materials used inside buildings, while DIN 4102 and EN 13501 relate to European fire classification systems. NFPA 701 and ASTM E84 are often requested in North American construction and industrial sites. Material selection should match thickness, color, print, additive system, roll structure, and retained production sample to the available report.

FAQ

Is fire retardant polyethylene film the same as standard PE film?

No. It uses LDPE/PE with a flame-retardant additive system for safer temporary covering applications.

Can every color or printed version use the same certificate?

Not always. Color, print, thickness, additives, and roll structure may change the certified scope.

What thickness is commonly used for site covering?

50-250 um is common, with heavier film used for stronger hanging, draping, or wrapping.

Can anti-static or UV performance be added?

Yes, but these options should be specified and tested separately for the intended use.
