What is the difference between pvc tarpaulin and pe tarpaulin? Which tarpaulin is more popular?
With the continuous development of people's consumption awareness and market economy, tarpaulin production technology has become increasingly mature and demand has continued to expand. The tarpaulin market has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, and sales have continued to rise almost every year. Due to its high use and replacement speed, The reason for the larger consumption is that there is more rigid demand and the outlook is more optimistic.
Tarpaulins are mainly used in storage, transportation, outdoor activities, covering, etc. Tarpaulins can be divided into PE tarpaulins and PVC tarpaulin according to the material.
PE tarpaulin refers to plastic woven tarpaulin, usually made of plastic cloth. It is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerizing ethylene. It has a wide range of uses, including pasture cover, construction sites, chemical industry, grain rainproofing, etc. The disadvantage is that the light fastness effect is poor, and it is generally disposable. After one use, its quality will deteriorate.
PVC tarpaulin is coated with PVC resin slurry on both sides of the polyester base fabric, using the dipping process, and it is made at one time. Its structure is relatively stable and the quality of the finished product is high. It has a wider range of uses, such as truck waterproofing, oil field anti-seepage, factory raw material sun protection, breeding ponds, etc. At present, PVC tarpaulins have good waterproof and sunscreen effects and have a relatively long service life.
Of course, it can be treated with low temperature resistance and flame retardant according to the environment of different regions. PVC tarpaulin has higher performance than PE tarpaulin, and is more suitable than PE tarpaulin in terms of anti-aging, waterproof, and durability. Therefore, PVC tarps are more widely used today.
