The Characteristics of PVC Coating

PVC coated fabrics are almost everywhere in the fields of tarpaulins, protective materials and even inflatable products. What exactly are the characteristics of this material? Don't worry. Let's take a look together.

Waterproof and stain-proof

The PVC coating forms a continuous and pore-free high-molecular film on the surface of the base fabric. This dense structure fundamentally blocks the penetration of liquid water, making it the preferred waterproof layer for truck tarpaulins, water storage bags, canopies and outdoor shading products.

The dense coating can effectively prevent oil stains and dust from adhering. Frequent stains can be refreshed simply by wiping with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains can also withstand repeated scrubbing with mild cleaners. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent cleaning, such as medical curtains and anti-fouling covers for restaurants.

Wear-resistant and puncture-resistant

The PVC coating endows the fabric surface with excellent scratch resistance and wear resistance. Whether it is frequently loaded and unloaded freight tarpaulins or inflatable castles in densely populated areas, PVC coating can significantly extend the service life of the products and reduce the frequency of damage and replacement.

The PVC coating formula also adds UV stabilizers, effectively delaying the embrittlement, fading of the coating and the decline in the strength of the base fabric caused by sunlight exposure, ensuring the long-lasting color and stable function of outdoor products.

Corrosion-resistant

The PVC coating shows excellent resistance to common corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis and salts, and is competent for demanding applications such as covering in chemical environments and industrial enclosures.

Green and harmless

The PVC coating strictly complies with regulations such as RoHS and REACH, and completely prohibits the use of harmful heavy metal stabilizers like lead and cadmium. At present, the industry is actively developing coating technologies and base fabric combinations that are easier to recycle and separate.

The colors are diverse and the surface treatment is excellent

PVC coating can easily achieve rich and long-lasting color performance, and supports customization of various surface effects such as embossing, matte/high-gloss treatment, and anti-static, meeting the dual demands of brand image and functionality.

The above are some characteristics of PVC coating. In fact, there are many more features of coated fabrics, too many to count. It is precisely these characteristics that make PVC coated fabrics widely used.
