Applications of PVC Tarpaulins in the Luggage Industry

In the luggage manufacturing industry, a material is quietly changing the user experience of travel goods—PVC tarpaulins. As an important material in luggage manufacturing, PVC tarpaulins are increasingly favored by manufacturers and consumers due to their excellent waterproof performance, high strength, and durability. It not only effectively protects items inside luggage from rain damage but also has advantages such as wear resistance, mildew resistance, and easy cleaning.

Basic Characteristics and Advantages of PVC Tarpaulins

PVC tarpaulins, also known as polyvinyl chloride tarpaulins, are a new type of composite material made by coating high-strength polyester fabric with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) paste resin and adding various additives, followed by high-temperature plasticization.

This material combines the flexibility and tensile strength of the base fabric with the waterproof and weather-resistant properties of the PVC coating, making it outstanding in the luggage manufacturing field. The core advantages of PVC tarpaulins are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Waterproof performance is one of the most significant characteristics of PVC tarpaulins. It effectively blocks moisture penetration, with a water pressure resistance of ≥2000mm water column. This means that even in heavy rain, bags made of PVC tarpaulin can keep the contents dry.

In terms of durability, PVC tarpaulin exhibits excellent tensile strength (warp strength ≥2100N/5CM, weft strength ≥1600N/5CM) and abrasion resistance, able to withstand friction and impacts from daily use without easily breaking.

Environmental adaptability is also a major advantage of PVC tarpaulin. It has anti-mildew properties (mildew resistance test grade 1), can withstand low temperatures (cold resistance temperature down to -20℃), and with the addition of special additives, it can also possess UV resistance, anti-aging properties, and adapt to various complex environments.

In terms of processing performance, PVC tarpaulin is soft, has a good feel, and is easy to wash and fold. It can be processed into various shapes and styles of bags through sewing, hot air melting, and high-frequency welding.

Specific Applications of PVC Tarpaulin in Bag Manufacturing

In the bag manufacturing industry, PVC tarpaulin has a wide range of applications, from everyday backpacks and suitcases to professional transport bags. Outdoor travel bags are one of the main application areas for PVC tarpaulin. Outdoor environments are diverse, requiring travel bags to be waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and weather-resistant, which PVC tarpaulin perfectly meets.

Whether it's a backpack used for hiking or a large suitcase, PVC tarpaulin effectively protects the contents, ensuring they remain dry even in harsh weather.

Professional transport bags also benefit from the properties of PVC tarpaulin. For example, delivery bags used in the food delivery industry are high-performance containers designed specifically for food delivery, made of PVC mesh fabric, combining lightweight, durability, and waterproof properties. These bags typically feature an insulation layer to maintain food temperature, ensuring meals remain hot or cold during delivery. The outer layer is PVC coated, and the inner layer is high-strength polyester mesh, creating a sturdy yet flexible structure that effectively resists wear and tear from daily use.
