What Material To Choose For Truck Tarpaulin? PE？ PVC？

Summer came, the rain became heavier, and many trucks began to prepare tarpaulins. There are many types of truck tarpaulins on the market, including oilcloth, PVC-coated cloth, canvas, PE tarpaulin and laminated tarpaulin, etc. Each tarpaulin has its pros and cons, and we need to understand their characteristics and choose the products we need.

According to waterproof standards, canvas is not as waterproof as other types, and the canvas will become heavier after absorbing water. According to the degree of wear resistance, PE tarpaulin is easy to wear, and it is not possible to ensure its waterproofness after using it a few times. If transporting flammable items, it is better not to choose oilcloth because oilcloth is flammable. The covered tarpaulin has good waterproofness, but the weight is relatively light and not wind-resistant. Finally, PVC coated cloth should belong to a relatively high-quality tarpaulin. Generally, PVC Oxford cloth is used, which includes the wear-resistant and sturdy characteristics of Oxford cloth, and has the characteristics of PVC coating waterproof and stable. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the goods, it is best to use PVC Oxford cloth with better quality to avoid foaming.
