Berry Global 626040 Polyethylene Sheeting 6 Mil Black

Product Description

The BERRY GLOBAL 626040 is a 6-mil black polyethylene sheeting roll measuring 12 feet wide by 100 feet long, supplied in a single-wound, fold-free format. Designed for use as a vapor barrier, dust barrier, and general-purpose cover, this sheeting is manufactured to meet ASTM D4397-91 specifications for polyethylene sheeting. The 6-mil thickness provides a balance of pliability and tear resistance suited to demanding jobsite conditions. At 35.2 pounds per roll, it is manageable for a single installer to handle and stage across large areas. Contractors, landscapers, and concrete crews reach for this product when a reliable, code-recognized vapor retarder is required.

This sheeting is used across a wide range of commercial and residential applications. Common jobsite uses include under-slab vapor barriers in crawl spaces and concrete pours, temporary dust containment walls during renovation, landscaping ground cover, and concrete curing blankets. The black pigmentation blocks light penetration, making it particularly effective for weed suppression in landscaping and for preventing moisture migration in below-grade installations. The roll format and single-wound construction allow clean, consistent unrolling without creasing or bunching during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general contractors, concrete crews, or waterproofing specialists. Before placing the sheeting as an under-slab vapor barrier, ensure the substrate is free of sharp aggregate or protruding fasteners that could puncture the film. Overlap seams by a minimum distance as required by local code or project specifications, and tape seams with a compatible vapor barrier tape to maintain continuity. Reference applicable building codes for vapor retarder requirements in your jurisdiction.
