4 mil plastic sheeting for old house dust control
Work in an old house and you have to control dust, lead dust most of all. Thin painter’s plastic tears the second it snags. This 4 mil plastic sheeting is thick enough to hold a seal and still thin enough to work with, which makes it the right weight for containment.
It stays flexible even at sub zero temperatures and resists acids, alkalies, and most chemicals. It will not crack, peel, rot, or mildew, so a barrier you hang holds up through the job.

- All purpose covers
- Vapor barriers

Is 4 mil plastic heavy duty?
It is thick enough to hold a seal and still thin enough to work with, which makes it the right weight for containment. Unlike thin painter's plastic, it is made tough and resists tears. It will not crack, peel, rot, or mildew, so a barrier you hang holds up through the job.
What size is this roll of plastic sheeting?

Does 4 mil plastic sheeting hold up in cold or around chemicals?
Yes. It stays flexible even at sub-zero temperatures and resists acids, alkalies, and most chemicals. It also will not crack, peel, rot, or mildew, so a barrier you hang holds up through the whole job. That durability is what makes it the right weight for dust, lead, and asbestos containment in an old house.
