Mining tarps are essential for protecting equipment, materials and stockpiles from harsh weather conditions and environmental hazards. They are also useful for covering open mine pits. Due to their durability and reliability, they help minimise contamination, enhance safety, ensure compliance with regulations, and help maintain operational efficiency in mining operations. Keeping materials covered ensures they remain dry and usable while preserving quality. This helps prevent delays in mining operations caused by weather-related issues. By reducing the risk of slips and falls in wet conditions and containing dust and other pollutants, mining covers are important for a secure working environment. With years of industry experience, Polytex specialises in high-quality custom mining tarps that meet the diverse needs of our clients.  

At Polytex, our mining covers are crafted from high-quality materials, including PE (Polyethylene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) fabrics, ensuring durability, flexibility, chemical resistance and lightweight performance. Designed to withstand the hardships of mining environments whether weather, dust or hazardous substances and more, our tarps feature sturdy construction that guarantees longevity and reliability.
