Let me be your expert in the field.
PVC tarpaulin is a multifunctional PVC tarpaulin material made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyester fiber-based fabric. In the field of industrial tarpaulin fabrics, PVC tarpaulin fabrics are mainly divided into two types: PVC knife coated tarpaulin and PVC laminated tarpaulin. PVC knife coated tarpaulin fabric is also a type of PVC coated fabric.
PVC: PVC, a synthetic resin polymerized from vinyl chloride, is also the core material for producing PVC tarpaulin fabrics. Before PVC is made into PVC coated tarpaulin, it is always necessary to add additives to convert it into the compounds we need, such as UV stabilizers, flame retardants, environmental agents, anti-static additives, antibacterial agents, oxidants, plasticizers, Heat stabilizers, pigments, etc. The choice of special additives determines the performance of waterproof PVC tarpaulin rolls, and it is possible to suggest the properties you require before working with a PVC tarpaulin manufacturer.
Base fabric (Mesh): Base fabric is divided into polyester, cotton, fiberglass, nylon, Oxford cloth, etc. The waterproof PVC tarpaulin is mainly made of polyester fiber. Its unit is expressed by the weight of the thread (denier) and the density of the weave (number of threads per inch), for example, 500D 18×17, 800D 9×9, D 20×20, etc. Secondly, it is also divided into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. The base fabric specifications determine the PVC canvas tarpaulin&#;s tear strength and tensile strength. The higher the specifications of the base fabric, the higher the tear strength and tensile strength. However, the specifications of the base fabric selected should be determined according to the user&#;s usage scenario. For example, architectural membranes and large PVC tents require high-standard base fabrics to withstand harsh environments. Choosing the appropriate base fabric specification according to the application scenario can not only reduce the price of purchasing PVC tarpaulin but also increase the service life of PVC tarpaulin material. If you don&#;t know what base fabric to choose for your industry materials, you can also ask us directly to provide you with reasonable suggestions.
Surface treatment: The surface treatment of PVC tarpaulin is generally divided into PVDF, acrylic, and titanium dioxide. Their main function is to improve its surface properties, which mainly include the following aspects:
PVDF acrylic and titanium dioxide surface treatment is widely used in the chemical industry, electronics, medicine, aviation, and other fields. At present, the raw material manufacturers we cooperate with are imported from abroad: Tramaco and Stahl.
Technology core: The method of producing PVC tarpaulin rolls: PVC knife coating and PVC lamination. PVC lamination is divided into (hot melt calendaring and cold lamination). Each method has different advantages and uses. PVC coated tarpaulin rolls have good flexibility and are suitable for large-scale building materials; PVC laminated tarpaulin rolls have good air tightness and are suitable for making PVC tarpaulin flexitanks, inflatable castles, etc. Both methods can produce 5.1m PVC tarpaulin rolls.
The choice of final manufacturing method depends on the specific requirements of the PVC tarpaulin canvas fabric, including its texture, size, color, use, performance, strength, and appearance. Each method has its advantages and allows for customization to meet the needs of a variety of industries and applications such as transportation, construction, agriculture, aviation, industrial, advertising, petroleum, aquaculture, and outdoor activities, among others.
PVC coated tarpaulin fabric has a variety of key properties: waterproof, flame retardant, anti-aging, antibacterial, environmentally friendly, antistatic, anti-UV, etc. Before we produce PVC coated tarpaulin, we will add corresponding additives to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), to achieve the effect we want. Making it a popular choice for a variety of outdoor protection and industrial applications. When working with FLFX tarpaulin manufacturer, the performance of these PVC tarpaulins can be customized according to user requirements.
Together, these properties make vinyl coated PVC fabrics a versatile and reliable choice for a variety of applications, including truck covers, boat covers, inflatables, swimming pools, agriculture, outdoor activities, and industrial uses where protection is required.
PVC tarpaulin fabrics are available in a variety of widths and weights to suit different applications and requirements. Specific width and weight options can be selected by customers. The following are common widths and weights:
Standard widths: 6 feet (1.83 m), 8 feet (2.44 m), 10 feet (3.05 m) and 12 feet (3.66 m).
Custom Widths: FLFX manufacturers can also produce PVC tarp fabrics in custom sizes to meet the needs of specific projects. These can be larger or smaller than standard rolls, with a maximum width of 16.4 feet (5 meters).
Standard weight: 450gsm (13.3 oz/yd²), 500gsm (14.8 oz/yd²), 600gsm (17.7 oz/yd²), 750gsm (22.1 oz/yd²)
Customized weight: In addition to these weights, we can also customize them according to user needs, 300gsm ~ gsm (10oz/yd² ~ 60oz/yd²).
The choice of width and weight depends on the intended application of the heavy duty PVC tarpaulin fabric. Heavier PVC tarps offer greater durability and may be preferred for heavy-duty applications where tear and abrasion resistance are critical. Lighter vinyl tarpaulins are suitable for lighter applications but may not be as durable.
As long as the quantity of your PVC tarpaulin roll reaches the FLFX manufacturer&#;s requirements, it can be completely customized according to the customer&#;s specific requirements. Customization options for waterproof PVC tarpaulins include:

PVC tarpaulin prices vary widely based on a variety of factors, including size, weight, quality, production technology, and any additional features or customizations. Here are some guidelines on PVC coated polyester fabric prices (for reference only)
The PVC laminated tarpaulin produced by hot melt calendering has good air tightness. The PVC coated tarpaulin fabric produced by knife coating has good flexibility. The production cost and quality of both are similar.
The PVC laminated fabric production cost of cold lamination is relatively low, and it is mainly used to manufacture some economical tarpaulins and PVC flex banners. However, the quality of PVC vinyl tarpaulin will be worse than that of hot melt calendering.
Finally, the PVC tarpaulin price is composed of the weight of the material, the specifications of the base fabric, the color and material performance of the tarpaulin. Please be sure to let us know when you request a quote from us.
This is a simple OEM/ODM PVC tarpaulin roll production process, which can be changed in specific links according to the user&#;s product performance requirements. The specific core technical processes can be browsed below.
Before producing PVC tarpaulin rolls, we must first prepare PVC resin, various additives and base fabric materials. These raw materials need to be purchased, but in order to reduce the production cost of tarpaulin. We currently have 14 German warp knitting machines in use, providing polyester base fabrics for products of different specifications.
Warp knitting machine: The warp knitting machine can produce different base fabric specifications (300×500 Dtex 18×12/inch, 500 Dtex 18×17/inch, Dtex 12×12/inch, Dtex 30×32/inch, Dtex 15×15/inch&#;) Denier refers to the thickness of the individual threads used in the fabric. A higher denier number generally indicates a more durable and long-lasting material.
There are two core processes for producing PVC tarpaulin rolls: knife scraping technology and lamination technology. These two manufacturing processes require 4 machines. Let me introduce them to you next.
Lamination technology is divided into cold lamination methods and hot melt calendering methods.
Cold lamination machine laminates two rolls of PVC film and base fabric lamination to form a PVC tarpaulin material. So in the first step, we need a calender machine to produce a thin and uniform sheet of PVC film from the PVC polymer.

First, the raw material PVC resin is mixed with various additives, plasticizers, colorants, and stabilizers in an extruder, so that the PVC and various additives are fully stirred to form polymers with required properties, such as anti-aging, environmental protection, color, UV resistance or flame retardancy, etc. The PVC polymer is then introduced into a high-temperature roller system and rolled to stretch the material to the appropriate thickness and width. It is then rolled and cooled through multiple roller systems to form PVC films of different thicknesses with glossy, matte, or embossed effects. In order to meet the production demand for PVC tarpaulins and other products, FLFX manufacturer introduced 3 such 5.1m PVC calender machines from Germany.
This PVC film material, in addition to making PVC tarpaulins, can also be printed with different patterns and used as indoor PVC stretch ceiling films.
We put the quality-inspected PVC film rolls and high-strength polyester fiber base fabric into the cold lamination machine. The material is introduced into the heated area through a series of roller systems for lamination. The maximum width of the produced PVC tarpaulin is only 3.2m. Due to the limited temperature and pressure of the roller produced by the machine, the PVC tarpaulin produced has low strength and short life. Commonly used in light truck tarpaulins ,PVC flex banners and agricultural cover tarpaulins.
This cold lamination machine process is short, fast, and has low machine operating costs, so the sales price of PVC tarpaulin roll is suitable for the low-end market. We have only purchased 2 of these cold laminating machines.

First of all, we cannot forget the quality inspection of PVC film and high-strength polyester fiber base fabric. Production employees will put two or five rolls of PVC film and Panama base fabric into designated positions of the hot-melt calender. After technicians adjust the machine according to the core technical parameters of production, the materials will be fully laminated in the machine&#;s high-temperature, high-pressure rollers; and then enter the cooling area through the complex roller system to form PVC laminated tarpaulin material. Finally, the PVC tarpaulin fabric is cut, rolled, and packaged according to the customer&#;s requirements. The width of PVC tarpaulin roll can be up to 5.1m.
The heating system of this hot-melt calender is much higher than the temperature and pressure of the cold-melt calender, which greatly improves the strength of the PVC polyester tarpaulin fabric. Moreover, its embossing roller and surface treatment system have also been upgraded, and through the surface treatment system, an acrylic coating can be added to the surface of the PVC coated fabric to achieve self-cleaning performance. Glue is also added to the PVC film and base fabric during the production process, and the PVC laminated tarpaulin has better adhesive properties, thereby also improving the service life and technical parameters of the product.
An ordinary production machine can only use two rolls of PVC film and base cloth for lamination. The hot-melt calender can laminate eight PVC film rolls and base fabric at the same time, producing a thicker heavy duty PVC laminated tarpaulin fabric.

First, the worker will introduce the PVC polymer with specific properties into the liquid reservoir equipped with the machine. The feed system uses pumps and valves to control the flow and pressure of coating material on the tool or insert. The coating head is the main component of the machine and consists of a sharp blade or knife that is responsible for accurately and evenly applying coating material to the substrate. After the coating is applied, the substrate will go through a drying or curing system to solidify the coating material and finally form a PVC knife coated tarpaulin material.
This machine can not only produce PVC kinfe coated tarpaulin cloths, but also textile banners and Class A fire retardant fiberglass cloths. Interested customers can contact us to request product information.
This modern knife coating machine FLFX tarpaulin factory has 1 set 5.6M knife coating machine and 3 set 4M knife coating machines. This machine is equipped with an advanced control system that can adjust various parameters such as coating thickness, speed, temperature and pressure. This technical process has also brought high-quality PVC coated tarpaulin cloth materials to many industries.
The quality and cost of the PVC tarpaulin produced by the hot melt calendering method and the knife coating method are similar. The specific choice of these two processes is actually determined based on the final application of the material. You can also directly tell us the materials needed for the project through the backend, and let us recommend more suitable tarpaulin material solutions for you.
We have many options for PVC tarpaulin roll packaging. The main materials include plastic film, kraft paper and paper tubes. For ordinary packaging, we will directly put kraft paper on the PVC tarpaulin roll. This kraft paper can prevent rainwater from penetrating into the material, and can also well protect the surface of the PVC tarpaulin roll from being scratched during transportation. In some cases, we will also wrap a layer of plastic film inside the kraft paper. Of course, this is completely according to the customer&#;s wishes. In OEM service, we can help customers print their LOGO on kraft paper, which requires additional printing fees.
The second packaging method is to add a layer of paper tube to the kraft paper, and its appearance can bear the weight of an adult. The function of this paper tube is to protect the PVC tarpaulin material from being squeezed and deformed during lifting and transportation. Of course, we also provide services of printing logos on the outside of paper tubes.
If neither of these two packaging methods satisfy you, you can also put forward your packaging ideas. And FLFX manufacturer will actively cooperate with you to complete the packaging method you want. When the customer asks for a price, there is no specific requirement for the packaging method of the PVC tarpaulin. Our quotation basically includes the price of the kraft paper packaging cost, and there will be no additional charges.

The flame retardant grades of PVC tarpaulin include B1, B2, M1, NFPA 701, and DIN -1. The flame retardancy of PVC vinyl tarpaulin is usually achieved by adding specific flame retardants or processing to PVC resin during production. Each grade is produced according to the user&#;s customized PVC tarpaulin and the addition of flame retardant additives upon request.
&#; Heavy Duty Vinyl Tarps: These can range from around 18 oz/yd² to 22 oz/yd² or more.
&#; Super Heavy Duty Vinyl Tarps: The weight of super heavy duty waterproof vinyl tarps can exceed 22 oz/yd², and some may even go up to 40 oz/yd² or higher.
&#; Metric Measurement (gsm): Super heavy duty PVC tarpaulins may have weights ranging from 600 gsm to gsm or more.
The service life of a waterproof PVC tarpaulin canvas depends on a variety of factors, including the raw material, manufacturing process, maintenance, and usage scenarios of the PVC vinyl tarp.
Yes, almost all PVC tarpaulins will be degraded by sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause PVC laminated tarpaulins to fade, become brittle, lose luster, chalk, crack, lose strength and oxidize. FLFX manufacturer&#;s PVC tarpaulins can last for 15-20 years without any changes.
We have to admit that PVC tarpaulin has an impact on the environment, and it is not as easy to recycle as some other materials. Therefore, our new solution is to use TPO instead of PVC. TPO fabric can be recycled multiple times and will be 100% biodegradable within the next 10 years. TPO fabric and PVC tarpaulin have exactly the same performance.
PVC coating helps protect the underlying polyester fabric from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV resistance of PVC coated tarpaulin is mainly affected by the specific formula of the PVC coating and the quality of the polyester fabric.
If you are buying a PVC hall, then you are definitely faced with the problem of which PVC fabric to choose for your hall. PVCs come in many different thicknesses and uses. For example, when you search on the Internet, it is very difficult to find an answer to this question. The questions that might arise: which one is the right one, what should be the thickness of the PVC material, what are the special requirements, etc.
There are many different manufacturers of PVC halls, and in the same way, PVC fabrics for halls are also offered in different sizes, shapes, and forms.
Our climate should have a PVC coating material of at least 900g/m².
As these types of constructions are classified under TP3 fire safety, PVC must be varnished with fireproof varnish. Otherwise, there will be problems in obtaining a permit for the building. Tp3 Fire-safety class also requires that PVC material must have a fire-resistance certificate. Fire resistance is achieved either with varnish or with one component of PVC mass. Different manufacturers take different approaches. Truck tarpaulins, slurry tank covers, and other non-construction PVC coatings are made without fireproof varnish. None of them are the right fire-resistant coating for PVC halls, which is used as a warehouse.
The fabrics we use are lacquered on both sides. This ensures better UV resistance and colorfastness, as well as that the fabric stays cleaner and micro damage to the PVC mass is not as easy to occur. For example, moisture and dirt can steep into the base fabric and can damage it.
Halls are designed for a long time, so the material of the base fabric on which the PVC mass is applied must be UV-resistant, mold-resistant and also &#;low wick&#; (the fabric does not absorb moisture). More expensive fabrics are also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
PVC material is offered from 220g/m² to g/m² and they all have their own purpose. Thinner PVC material is suitable for banners, curtains, load covers, wrestling mats, trampolines, etc. As different fabrics have different purposes, in addition to the weight per m² (thickness of PVC mass), the base fabric may also differ. Trucks have a fabric of 700-900 g/m², often varnished on one side and often without fire resistance. In cars, the fabric is still significantly thinner (easier to handle). In Scandinavia, rental &#;tarpaulins&#; are very popular. Those are used for temporary coating in both construction and agriculture, are 680 g/m², varnished on one side, and last in spite of heavy use, washing and repair for 10 + years.
To withstand Estonian climate, the temperature resistance of the PVC coating must be +70°C to -35°C .
Different manufacturers also guarantee the preservation of PVC color with different lengths, i.e. the color of the PVC mass (for example, from red to pink, etc.) will not be damaged by the sun and weather.
How to choose the right PVC coating for your PVC Hall? Always contact our sales department, who can help you with any questions.
What conditions should be considered when choosing PVC material? You need to think about the purpose for which you need the PVC fabric: PVC hall, car cover, or agricultural reasons.
What to consider when choosing a PVC cover for another purpose or for a truck tarpaulin, for example? Look at what the manufacturer offers, the truck&#;s tent has dozens of details besides PVC. Cheap solutions don&#;t conduct high quality.
Can you and how can PVC coating be purchased from FinEst-Hall for other purposes? Call us and we will find the best solution for you.
What does PVC coating consist of? On both sides, fabric is covered with an acrylic varnish, which is dirt repellent and prolongs the product&#;s life. The next layer is a coating, which gives the product the required protective features. Follows undercoat, which makes the surface adhere to the base fabric. The base fabric is the main element of the product, it gives the product the required strength.
What to do if the PVC coating needs repair/replacement?
We offer maintenance service for the hangars we install. We clean, repair and if necessary replace damaged PVC coverings. Our pledge is that our customers get assistance quickly. To ensure the safety of our projects, we take responsibility for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of our hangars.
How to maintain the PVC coating? Fix holes that seem insignificant immediately. When washing, wash with a product that you dare to wash yourself. Strong chemicals clean well, but without proper rinsing (preferably first with &#;shampoo&#;) destroys the varnish layer.
How often should the PVC coating be tightened/maintained? PVC hall should be maintained once a year, that will ensure a long life.
