- 2025-06-23
The following is a comprehensive introduction to PVC TARPAULIN, covering its material characteristics, core advantages, application scenarios, and technological trends, to help you quickly grasp the core value of this high-performance industrial material:
I. Material Structure & Manufacturing Process
1. Base Composition
- Base Fabric Layer: High-strength polyester (e.g., 1000D×1000D biaxial warp-knitted grid) providing tensile reinforcement.
- Functional Coating: Multi-layer PVC (polyvinyl chloride) composite coating for waterproofing, abrasion resistance, and weather durability.
- Surface Treatment: UV inhibitors, anti-mildew agents, optional self-cleaning coating.
2. Core Techniques
- Hot-Air Welding: Replaces traditional stitching for seamless waterproofing (water resistance ≥2000mm water column).
- Water-Based Coating: Eco-friendly solvent-free process reducing VOC emissions (compliant with EU EEB standards).
II. Five Core Performance Advantages
| Property | Technical Parameter/Performance | vs. Traditional Tarps |
| Tensile Strength | Warp ≥2100N/5cm, Weft ≥1600N/5cm | PE Tarps: Warp ≤800N/5cm |
| Waterproofing | ≥2000mm water column (3× rainstorm intensity) | PE Tarps: ≤800mm water column |
| Abrasion Resistance| 8,543 rotations (base fabric intact) | Traditional tarps: 3,000 rotations (fabric damaged) |
| Temperature Resistance | -30℃ to +70℃ (no brittleness/deformation) | PE Tarps: Brittle at -10℃ |
| Service Life | 8-10 years outdoor (anti-mildew/UV resistant) | PE Tarps: 2-3 years |
III. Comprehensive Application Scenarios
1. Logistics & Transportation
- Truck/train cargo covers (wind-lift resistance design, e.g., Shandong Lufan VT003).
- Container waterproof covers (seamless welding prevents leakage).
2. Construction & Engineering
- Temporary roofing/vibration isolation (puncture-resistant, 650-750GSM).
- Dust-proof barriers (self-cleaning coating reduces maintenance).
3. Agriculture & Environmental Protection
- Livestock farm curtains/grain storage covers (cold-resistant to -30℃, anti-mildew grade 1).
- Wastewater treatment tank covers (acid/alkali corrosion resistant).
4. Military & Emergency Response
- Camouflage nets (patterned coating, Hebei Sameite patent).
- Disaster relief tents (carbon fiber reinforced, withstands Level 12 winds).
IV. Industry Breakthroughs (2025)
1. Green Manufacturing
- Recyclable Design: Monomaterial structure (PVC + polyester), >85% recyclability.
- Bio-Based PVC: Kunshan Achilles’ 30% carbon-reduced formula.
2. Smart Integration
- Temperature-regulating coating: Phase-change materials stabilize internal temperature (±5℃).
- IoT sensors: Embedded humidity/tension monitors for real-time status tracking.
V. Key Purchasing Metrics
| Parameter | Standard Range | Usage Recommendations |
| Weight (GSM) | 380g-750g | Lightweight (380g): Short-term use; Heavy-duty (650g+): Long-term outdoor |
| Thickness (mm) | 0.35-0.80mm | ≥0.5mm for high-abrasion environments |
| Tear Strength (N)| Warp ≥200, Weft ≥180 | Opt for high-tear models in logistics |
| Cold Resistance | -20℃ to -30℃ | Select -30℃ for northern/high-altitude regions |
VI. Maintenance & Lifespan Extension
- Cleaning: Rinse with neutral detergent; avoid strong acids/alkalis.
- Repairs: Patch damage with PVC adhesive (avoid heat welding).
- Storage: Fold and store in dry, shaded areas away from sharp objects.
