Why Is Vinyl Tarpaulin A Must-have for Construction Sites?

Introduction

On a construction site, a sudden heavy rain can scrap exposed cement, damage equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and extend the construction period. A tough PVC coated sheet can often prevent all the above possible risks. This inconspicuous material is a silent guardian of construction site property.

Protector of the construction site environment

The reason why Vinyl Tarpaulin has become a rigid demand for construction sites is due to its characteristics, which can perfectly adapt to the harsh use environment of the construction site. The composite structure formed by high-density base fabric + double-sided PVC coating gives it excellent waterproofness and tensile strength. This material is impervious to rain, does not deform when pulled by strong winds, and does not scratch when rubbed by sharp sand and gravel. UV blockers are also added to its coating, which can effectively delay sunlight aging, and its lifespan can reach more than 5 years in the open air environment of the construction site. At the same time, it is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and is not afraid of cement and paint splashing.

Compared with PE tarpaulin, which is cheap but only suitable for one-time use; silicone cloth is light but not wear-resistant; and vinyl tarpaulin has obvious advantages in the number of cycles and comprehensive protection.

Application throughout the entire process of the construction site

From foundation excavation to main body completion, vinyl tarpaulin is active in every key link of the construction site. If the concrete is not properly maintained after pouring, it will crack and sand at the least, or lose strength at the worst. Covering with PVC coated cloth prevents premature evaporation of water, avoids cracking or carbonization of concrete due to shrinkage, and ensures stable growth of strength. During winter construction, it slows down the heat loss of the surface and prevents frostbite. Vinyl tarpaulin also plays an important role in protecting materials and equipment. Cement in open-air yards is most afraid of rain. Use vinyl tarpaulin to directly cover the cement to prevent rain and agglomeration and reduce material loss. It is necessary to prevent dust and rain when excavators, mixing stations and other equipment are shut down. Vinyl tarpaulin can reduce the failure rate of machines. There is also the most common dust-proof enclosure on construction sites. Vinyl tarpaulin has high strength and is not easy to be damaged and fly away, which is better than traditional colored strips.

Conclusion

In the era of the construction industry, although vinyl tarpaulin is inconspicuous, it is like invisible armor on the construction site. It costs very little, but it protects hundreds of thousands of materials and millions of equipment.
