This article is about the brand-name plastic sheeting material. For the musical group, see Visqueen (band).
Visqueen is a brand of plastic sheeting produced by British Polythene Limited, commonly between 4 and 10 mils (0.1 to 0.25 mm) thick, used as a temporary tarpaulin. It is commonly used to cover concrete as it sets, as a drop cloth when painting, to line decorative ponds, and to cover the ground before applying stone or wood chips to prevent weed growth. Large (100 x 20 ft) sheets of Visqueen are also used during floods to protect levees from wave wash erosion.
