In the building Industry, usually comprising brick masonry and cement concrete, polyethene film may be used for roofing, on the floor and walls for serving as a leak-proof (and damp proof) material. This is attributable to high tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus of elasticity. Black low density polyethylene film has been found to be particularly useful for this purpose owing to lower susceptibility to sunlight and immunity from ultraviolet rays.

Abstract


In the building Industry, usually comprising brick masonry and cement concrete, polyethene film may be used for roofing, on the floor and walls for serving as a leak-proof (and damp proof) material. This is attributable to high tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus of elasticity. Black low density polyethylene film has been found to be particularly useful for this purpose owing to lower susceptibility to sunlight and immunity from ultraviolet rays.
