Polyethelene (PE)
PE is in the form of an unsupported film that offers outstanding water and chemical resistance at an economical cost. It does not contain Chlorides and is safe to incinerate for disposal. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses, finishes, and colors, with the most common provided by Lancs shown below. It cannot be electronically heat-sealed; it must be thermally heat-sealed to weld together.

Electrostatic Protective Material |
Lancs also provides Reinforced PE material. This is PE sheeting with embedded nylon braiding for added strength. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and properties and can be provided as sheeting, bags, or sleeving.
Laminated Material
Laminated material is comprised of a base cloth with a woven or knit open mesh made from either nylon or polyester which is bonded between two layers of vinyl film (PVC). The resulting material has one side that is smoother and one side that is textured with the mesh pattern of the base cloth. It can be electronically heat-sealed to weld together. (Laminated material can also be made with Polyurethane instead of PVC.)
Unlike unsupported films, laminated material is measured by weight (ounces per square yard) rather than thickness. It is available in a range of weights and colors, with all material being opaque.
Pacifitex
Lancs Industries supplies a branded line of vinyl/nylon laminated fabrics under the name PACIFITEX.
PACIFITEX is manufactured with fire retardant additives to comply with NFPA 701. It will not support combustion.
PACIFITEX is certified to be free of leachable chlorides and other halides so as to be compatible for use with all types of stainless steel.
PACIFITEX is certified to be free of sulfur and mercury compounds.
