PVC tarpaulin is made of various colorful or transparent PVC films combined with fabrics. Through the PVC film, the fabric of the tarpaulin can be clearly seen, giving it a strong three-dimensional sense and a moderately soft and hard texture. It is a low-toxic, environmentally friendly product and the standard PVC tarpaulin can be used outdoors for 3 to 5 years.

There are many types of tarpaulins, including PVC Tarpaulin, TPU Tarpaulin, PEVA Tarpaulin, TPE Tarpaulin and Rubber Tarpaulin. Among them, PVC Tarpaulin is the most popular due to the excellent properties of PVC film.

PVC, whose main component is polyvinyl chloride, has many advantages: mature manufacturing process, relatively low price, good insulation performance, excellent chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, as well as certain high and low temperature resistance.

There are polyester fabrics used in the middle layer of tarpaulins. In terms of strength, fabrics can be divided into general yarn and high-strength yarn. The weaving methods of the fabrics include warp knitting, weft knitting, combing, semi-combing and ordinary combing.

In addition, to meet the different needs of users, sellers select fabrics with various yarn weaving densities. According to the grid design of the tarpaulin, patterns such as woven grid, diamond net and bird's eye net can be made to produce tarpaulins of various specifications, thicknesses, colors and strengths.
