Technical Specifications
Multipurpose and vapour barrier
  Uses | Folding type

All our polyethylene films are :

- Reusable and recyclable
 - Packed in boxes or bags facilitating handling and storage.

 Durability :

The durability of polyethylene film is connected to its gauge and its use.


In 2008, the extensive efforts of the company to improve its methods and production standards were awarded. The fabrication of Ultra plus vapour barrier was frequently reviewed and audited by independent sources to insure high quality controlled methods, so it became natural for the company to extend this audit to all of the plant. In February 2008, the polyethylene plant was awarded ISO 9001 certification. This award recognizes Duchesne's management methods and quality control efficiency from order entry, production to service.
