2x3m PE Tarpaulin Truck Cover

There are so many types of tarpaulins! Did you make the right choice?

Knowledge of TarpaulinCovering tarpaulins is a compulsory course for truck drivers. How to choose tarpaulins, what materials are they made of, and what are their characteristics? Let's learn together today.

 

Choosing a tarpaulin requires special attention to these three points

1. Waterproofness.

This is what card users are most concerned about, after all, for the railings and cargo compartments, they rely on this tarpaulin to prevent rain. The waterproof performance of the tarpaulin directly affects the safety of goods. Once rainwater seeps into the cargo compartment and wets the goods, it will cause economic losses.

2. Light blocking performance. When transporting fruits and vegetables in the hot summer, if their sun protection performance is poor and they cannot be isolated from sunlight, over time, fruit and vegetable products are prone to decay or sun drying.

3. Wear resistance and tear resistance. Usually, when fixing the tarpaulin, it is necessary to stretch the tarpaulin vigorously and tie it to the various binding hooks on the cargo compartment. At this time, the tarpaulin needs to withstand a large amount of tension. Moreover, the working conditions on transportation roads are extremely complex and the environment is unstable. The tarpaulin is exposed to harsh weather and harsh working conditions for a long time, and its wear resistance and tear resistance must be strong enough.

 

Types and characteristics of tarpaulins, major market points

PVC oilcloth

Mainstream, high strength, durable, and heavyAt present, the mainstream tarpaulin on the market is mainly made of oilcloth. The common PVC oilcloth fabric is woven with high-strength polyester yarn, which has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high strength, and is known for its good high durability. PVC oilcloth is sprayed with polyvinyl chloride on the outside to form a waterproof layer, which can effectively prevent rainwater infiltration and almost achieve a drip proof effect.Although PVC tarpaulin has excellent waterproof and wear-resistant properties, it still has a relatively large self weight in terms of weight. Even for a 4.2-meter warehouse truck, it can be very difficult to cover the tarpaulin with one person's operation, making it more suitable for vehicles with a length of 9.6 meters or less.

 

PE tarpaulin

Lightweight and slightly inferior in wear resistance

If you want a certain level of waterproofing while also considering good lightweight, then PE tarpaulin will be a good choice. The production of PE tarpaulin generally uses colored strip fabric, which is made of high-density polyethylene and coated with PE film on both sides of PE woven fabric. Its biggest feature is that it is very lightweight, more affordable, and also has basic waterproof effects.

 

However, the wear resistance of this PE tarpaulin is relatively lacking. If it is frequently used in harsh and complex working conditions, it may be easily damaged after multiple uses. Due to its lightweight and affordability, it is still quite common on large trailers and is relatively easy to cover. Even if it is damaged, it is not painful to replace it.

 

Attached film tarpaulinLightweight, durable and waterproof

Nowadays, there are also many cardholders who use film coated tarpaulins, which are characterized by being lightweight and more durable and waterproof than ordinary tarpaulins. This type of tarpaulin has a layer of wear-resistant coating added inside, and the tarpaulin adopts a whole design, which can directly cover the cargo compartment.

However, if the attached film tarpaulin is damaged and needs to be repaired, even with the best adhesive, it is easy to become unstable and fall off.

 

Knife scraping cloth

Strong wear resistanceNowadays, the use of knife scraping cloth is also quite popular. This type of tarpaulin is made of chemically synthesized material and is composed of three parts. The top and bottom parts are usually made of PVC material, and the middle layer is made of light guiding fiber patches, which are compressed together through specific compression methods to form a knife scraping cloth.In fact, from the name, it can be seen that the anti wear ability of the knife scraping cloth is particularly outstanding, with high strength, good ductility, strong flexibility, not easily affected by corrosion, and has a certain waterproof ability. The surface of this knife scraping cloth is very smooth, and it feels good to the touch. It can provide good coverage and protection for transportation vehicles and outdoor goods.

 

Three proof cloth

Fireproof, waterproof, and mold resistant

Three proof cloth is made by coating PVC, PTFE, flame-retardant silicone and other refractory materials on the surface of refractory fibers, and adding various chemical additives such as mold inhibitors, anti-aging agents, and anti-static agents. After high-temperature heat bonding, it has the function of fire prevention, waterproofing, and mold prevention.

 

Card users are exposed to wind, sun, and rain on the road, and tarpaulins can help them protect their goods comprehensively and avoid damage to them due to various weather conditions.
