Which material is better for truck tarpaulins?
Dec 21, 2022
1. Canvas
Canvas is commonly woven with No. 58 4~7 strands. The fabric is dense and durable, and has a certain waterproof performance. Canvas is mainly used for car transportation and covering of open warehouses and tents in the wild.
As a rainproof material, canvas has a long history of use. It is said that it has been used since Roman times. Tents used for marching and fighting have been widely used for rainproof since ancient times.
Due to the heavy weight of canvas, it is heavier after being wet by rain, so it is rarely used on many trucks now, and most of them are used as tent materials to play a certain degree of rainproof and waterproof functions.
2. Three-proof cloth
The three-proof cloth is a refractory fiber surface coated with pvc, ptfe, flame-retardant silica gel and other refractory materials, making it a fire-proof, waterproof and mildew-proof function.
Wide range of applications:
Freight tarpaulins for automobiles, vehicles, and ships
It can be processed into camping tents and protective covers for various machinery and equipment
It can be used to build temporary granaries and open-air cover for various crops
It can be used as a cover for stacking objects in open-air warehouses at stations, docks, seaports, and airports
It can be used as a material for building temporary sheds and temporary warehouses on various construction sites such as construction sites and power construction sites.
The three-proof cloth is waterproof, sun-proof, mildew-proof, made of reinforced silk, tear-resistant, cold-resistant, and high-temperature resistant. The four sides of the tarpaulin can be hemmed, and holes are drilled every one meter. It is strong and durable, has very good waterproof performance, and is easy to fold and wash.
3. Oxford cloth
Originated in the UK, Oxford cloth is a new type of fabric with multiple functions and wide uses. It uses finer combed high-count yarns as double warps, and is interwoven with thicker weft yarns in a weft-heavy flat weave.

4. Blue and white cloth
Blue and white cloth is currently widely used in the market. It has the advantages of waterproof, sunscreen, anti-aging, durable, folding, corrosion-resistant, and light.
Blue and white cloth is widely used in storage, construction, various tents, greenhouses, transport ships, aircraft and other means of transportation and open-air cargo for covering and protection purposes.
5. PVC tarpaulin
PVC oilcloth is durable but a bit heavy. The common PVC oilcloth fabric is woven from polyester yarn. Polyester yarn has good corrosion resistance and high strength, so PVC oilcloth is more durable. The outside of the PVC oilcloth is sprayed with PVC to form a waterproof layer with a bright surface, so most people are used to calling it an oilcloth.
The tear strength of PVC tarpaulin is much better than that of traditional tarpaulin, and its surface is specially treated to prevent slipping. It is a popular waterproof cloth in the market.
Summarize:
With the advancement of technology, the traditional tarpaulin in the past has been upgraded to the current Oxford cloth and other fabrics. The rainproof performance is stronger and the fabric is more durable.
For buyers of vehicle tarps: when choosing a tarpaulin, you can choose the appropriate tarpaulin according to the type of goods you want to pull, or you can combine several materials with each other. At the same time, daily inspections should be strengthened. If there is any damage, it should be timely Contact the manufacturer for repairs to ensure the rain and water resistance of the tarpaulin and ensure that the goods are not wet. However, closed container transportation is becoming more and more popular at present, unless the transportation of extra-large goods requires the use of tarpaulin. At the same time, with the development of logistics, the application of tarpaulin on trucks has withdrawn from the current main position and turned to the production of tent series products.
