What makes a good tarp? What are the applications of tarpaulins?
"Three defenses" have different meanings in different fields. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "three defenses" refers to "nuclear, biological, and chemical defenses." In the electronics industry, "three defenses" refer to "mildew-proof, moisture-proof, and salt-spray proof". In agriculture, the "three defenses" are "drought, flood, and wind". In industry, "three defenses" refer to "anti-freeze, anti-skid, and anti-virus". In construction, the "three defenses" are "waterproof, fireproof, and earthquake resistant". The "three defenses" tarpaulin is different from the "three defenses" mentioned above. The three-proof tarpaulin is mainly anti-aging, waterproof and mildew-proof. The rainproof tarpaulin must not only be "three defenses", but also fireproof and anti-corrosion. It is required that the water pressure resistance value is ≥ 2000MM water column, the low temperature resistance is -20 ℃, it has passed the first-class anti-mildew test, and the flame retardant grade is above V-2.

What makes a good tarp?


At present, the compared tarpaulin is mainly made of polyethylene material, which greatly improves its performance. Widely used in outdoor tents and carports in daily life.

It has stronger puncture resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-aging performance and long service life.

It is recyclable and completely eco-friendly.

On the basis of good water resistance, it also has good heat absorption and heat preservation functions. It provides great cover whether it's rainy or sunny. If you stand under the tarpaulin and feel the sun shining directly into your eyes, it means that the effect of shading the sun and rain is not good.

The tarpaulin has high warp and weft density, strong toughness, smooth and soft surface, and comfortable hand feeling.

The greater the water pressure per square centimeter, the better the quality.

When the tarpaulin covers the fragile goods, the carrier must take protective measures, and the protective materials are provided by the consignor.

When the railway tarpaulin cannot meet the transportation needs of the shipper's goods, the shipper can purchase its own tarpaulin. Self-provided tarpaulins cannot be rented for commercial use.

The railway tarpaulin cannot be borrowed or used for other purposes. Once found, it should be corrected immediately, and the tarpaulin extension fee should be charged according to regulations.

The tarpaulin used for loading must be of good quality, the ropes of the tarpaulin are complete, and the labels and numbers are intact and clear. Tarpaulins cannot be used as reinforcement for loads. Railway tarpaulins shall not be mixed with self-provided tarpaulins. The tarpaulin cover shall comply with the tarpaulin cover standard.

The railway-only and railway-dedicated line transportation agreement shall include the handover, use, storage, return, extension fee collection, damage compensation, etc. of the railway tarpaulin.
