Transit-Wrap™
Transit-Wrap™ (TW35 & TW50)
Types:
Dependable protection when shipments, storage and jobsite handling get rough. If you have ever unwrapped a load and found scuffs, punctures, torn corners or moisture issues, you already know the real cost of “just using any plastic.” Transit-Wrap from Viaflex is built for the moment materials leave the controlled environment and enter the real world: forklifts, road vibration, shifting pallets, sharp edges and weather exposure. It is a specialty three-layer co-extruded polyethylene wrap engineered to balance puncture resistance and tear resistance, so you can protect product in transit and storage without fighting fragile film that fails when it matters most.
Features
Three-layer co-extruded construction
In the field, punctures often start small and then rip. The dense polyethylene (for puncture resistance) outer layers help prevent the initial damage, while the low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) core helps keep a small nick from turning into a long tear. The result is a wrap that holds together better during handling, strapping and transport vibration.
Two thickness options that match real-world risk
You get a clear dial for protection versus material usage. TW35 is a smart baseline for many wrapping needs. TW50 is the move when you are protecting higher-value goods, dealing with sharper edges, longer routes or more handling events.
Wide format sizes with practical packaging defaults
Typical sizes range from 12 ft to 20 ft wide, with standard 300 ft roll lengths and other lengths available on request. Widths up to 40 ft can be produced with minimum order requirements. Fewer seams, faster coverage and easier standardization across product lines. For operations wrapping bulky items or large footprints, wide goods can reduce time on task and reduce leak paths.
Temperature range built for tough climates
For shipping across regions or for seasonal product storage, the ability to perform across a wide temperature range (180°F to -94°F) reduces surprises like material softening in heat or material brittleness in cold.
Vapor and moisture performance for barrier-minded uses
If your wrap needs include vapor retarder or vertical wall vapor barrier markets, Transit-Wrap help you compare materials and select the right thickness. TW50’s lower values indicate stronger resistance to moisture vapor transmission on this test method.

How to choose between TW35 and TW50
- Choose TW35 (3.25 mil) if you need a dependable everyday protective wrap for typical handling and short-to-medium transit exposure.
- Choose TW50 (4.5 mil) if you ship higher-value goods, face rougher handling, have sharper edges, longer routes or want added margin against tearing and bursting. The performance deltas in grab tensile, tear and burst make TW50 the best option. Use Transit-Wrap for fewer rewraps, fewer damaged deliveries and a wrap that behaves consistently across real job conditions. If you are currently using commodity poly and experiencing failures, upgrading to this three-layer co-extruded wrap is a practical step that pays off quickly by avoiding damage, labor and headaches.

Tie-Down Buttons (BUTI) & Tarp Grabbers (BUTEZ)
Tie-Down Buttons & Tarp Grabbers help keep plastic sheeting securely in place. Tie-Down Buttons are designed to eliminate traditional grommets in plastic sheeting up to 10 mil thick and are reusable plastic fittings that are easy to install in any position. Tarp Grabbers are up to 4 times stronger than a brass grommet and are typically used in heavier plastic sheeting from 10 mil to 30 mil thick. Great for equipment covers, large storage covers and truck tarps.
Dura-Clips (CLIP11)
These full size clips are 11″ long and fit most commercial scaffolding. Dura-Clips will securely fasten your poly sheeting to scaffolding, reducing wind whip and increasing the life of your enclosure. Clips are normally placed about every 3′ onto the enclosure.
VaporBoot Plus Preformed Pipe Boots (VBPBT)
VaporBoot Plus Preformed Pipe Boots are produced from heavy 40 mil co-extruded polyethylene and barrier resins for excellent strength and durability. The preformed boots are stepped to fit 1″ to 4″ wide pipe penetrations. VaporBoot Plus Preformed Pipe Boots are available in quantities of 12 per box.
VaporBoot System (VBOOT, TP2BR, TVB4)
The VaporBoot System is designed to assist in securing pipe and other penetrations that run vertically through the vapor retarder material.

Butyl Seal Tape (TP2BR/TP6BR)
Butyl seal is a double-sided aggressive reinforced black butyl rubber tape used to join panels of polyethylene and polypropylene together by overlapping the edges and applying Butyl Seal in between. It is also used to adhere to concrete walls and footings when properly prepared. Butyl Seal is non-hardening and flexible.
Available in 2″ x 50′ and 6″ x 50′ rolls.
POUR-N-SEAL™ (PNS1G)
POUR-N-SEAL™ is a gray two part medium viscosity high strength epoxy used to seal around multiple pipe penetrations in tight areas where pipe boots are not practical, when installing VaporBlock moisture and gas barriers. (Adhesive backed 1″ weather stripping FOAM25 required—sold separately).
R25B Tape (R25B)
R25B Tape is a single sided aggressive synthetic elastomeric adhesive that bonds instantly to properly prepared polyethylene and polypropylene. The black polymer backing and adhesive is specially formulated to provide years of performance even in direct sunlight. A poly release liner provides for ease of installation.
Available in a 4″ x 100′ roll.
Vapor Bond Tape (TVB4)
This white single-sided tape combines a heavy duty, weather-resistant polyethylene backing with an aggressive rubber adhesive. VaporBond Tape offers excellent seaming capabilities for our materials with an “Easy Tear” feature to reduce installation time. TVB4 has a WVTR of 0.18 perms per ASTM D 833. Typical markets include vapor retarders, covers and liners.
Available in a 4″ x 210′ roll.
VaporSeal™ Tape (TVSP4/TVSP12)
VaporSeal™ Tape is a single-sided 7-layer gas barrier tape with a release liner for ease of installation.
