The HDX plastic sheeting is a general-purpose plastic film for use in a variety of construction and DIY projects. Commonly used as a vapor barrier in between insulation and drywall. Can also be used as a drop cloth, for winterizing windows, or a temporary cover for equipment and supplies.
Q:Hello,
I would like to know what's the difference between (Husky-fire retardant vrs regular poly sheeting 6mm) both materials look the same but one isn't due to a fire retardant material. But upon close inspection they both look closely matched.

Answer This Question
A:Â All of our plastic sheeting items are made out of polyethylene/recycled polyethylene materials. The key importance is our 6 mil flame retardant sheeting is also made with a special coat to prevent the start or slow the growth of fire. Please contact your local Home Depot store for further assistance.

A:Â This Husky plastic sheeting is a general-purpose plastic film typically used under concrete slabs, in-between drywall as a vapor barrier, etc. This product does not contain any UV inhibitors and is not intended for prolonged exposure to sunlight. It will break down with prolonged exposure to the outside elements. Please contact your local Home Depot for further assistance.

Q:What is puncture rating of husky 6 mil plastic, ANSI or other
by|Jul 18, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Puncture, as can be measured by ASTM D4833, is not performed on construction film. The industry relies instead on dart impact values performed via ASTM D1709 for which the 6mil spec value is 260 grams. We recommend consulting with the Pro Desk at your local Home Depot store for further assistance.

Gray and NOT Translucent
I was expecting between clear and white, translucent, just as the title and product overview state... I was very mistaken. You cannot trust this listing. The proof is in my attached pictures.
I did not bother reading reviews or checking the questions. I purchased this to make an automotive paint booth which needs light... This sheeting is gray with an opacity near 10%. I have included a Snap-On bright orange pick to show what this sheeting looks like. You can clearly see that barely any light is allowed through. The product listing is straight up incorrect. Upon further research, the manufacturer Poly-American, posted a response to one question stating:
"This is a construction grade film made largely of recycled materials. While it is considered "clear", actual transparency will vary from roll to roll due to the recycled content. Also, this product does not contain any UV inhibitors. It is not intended to be exposed to the elements for a prolonged period."
There is no way that my sheeting is clear by any definition. Even their comment does not quantify the range of transparency. There is either a product listing error or poor manufacturing processes. It is one thing to use recycled material and have variation. It is entirely wrong to not specify this in the product overview. You can clearly see by the mixed reviews that there is an inherent issue here.

GRAY, NOT CLEAR
I purchased this April 2020 in the hopes of building a greenhouse at the end of the season. I didn't get to it until today. I opened the box to find GRAY plastic and definitely NOT transparent. It's useless to me. Because I didn't return it by the return date, I'm stuck with it.
I ordered another box today. When I went down to pick it up, I was helped the the assistant manager. He opened it before I left with it to be sure it was clear AS STATED ON THE BOX. It was not, it was gray. His words "I've never seen such a gross misrepresentation of a product we carry". He refunded me for the one I purchased today. I went to look for any clear plastic I could find and opened up two more boxes of this in the hopes I might actually find a clear one - nope.
When deciding whether or not to purchase this, read the most recent reviews, not the reviews from 2015/2016. They've obviously changed the product, just not the box describing whatever this used to be. I have included a picture of the packing slip. I cut out a small triangle of the plastic and laid it on the packing slip so you can see very clearly, it's gray, not clear.
If you're looking for thick plastic and don't care what color it is, go for it. If you're looking for CLEAR plastic, look elsewhere.

Its a great buy, very sturdy. We love being outside during the winter, now we can sit and enjoy our coffee or tea and watch nature in a warm place. The 6mil thickness blocks the wind just enough and with our little heater keeps us toasty warm. This product has stood up to pretty high winds so far.

Misleading description. This sheeting is NOT clear. It is instead a rather opaque grey. Clear sheeting can often be a little "cloudy" but this is way beyond that and is actually colored. If your job require any level of transparency this product is not for you. If you just need any 6 mil plastic sheeting it should work fine. I have included a picture--Husky product is the one on the right.

Just look at this hoop greenhouse!
We are enjoying this plastic sheeting. We have used it to make green hoop houses for vegetables for winter and in the spring we will use it to protect from frost. We plan on building a lot more green hoop houses this spring. We also used the plastic sheeting to cover our garden for winter and my motorcycle to keep the dust off!
Thanks

It's just plastic, but it's a little misleading
It's just 6 mil plastic, so what more is there to say? The only complaint is it's not CLEAR, (as in you can see through it). It is semi-translucent, like a milky white. Otherwise it worked for my needs.
