There are lots of different kinds of tarpaulins, so the first step to choosing the right one is to determine what you need it for in the first place. Are you looking to cover equipment and supplies? Are you planning to use it as a means of keeping rain off your car? Different tarpaulins are built for different purposes, and you’ll need to find the one that can handle your intended task best. This guide will help you sort through your options and find the perfect PVC tarpaulin for your needs.
Waterproof
When looking for a waterproof material, there are two main qualities that you want to look at: water resistance and tear strength. Water resistance is how well it resists water from soaking through and seeping out of the fabric. Tear strength refers to how much force is needed to puncture or rip the fabric. For a water resistant material, we recommend UNISIGN 680gsm PVC Tarpaulin because this material has both high tear and high water resistance properties. It also has excellent UV protection, which means its color won’t fade over time.
UV Protection
Tarpaulins are a common form of protection used in a variety of industries including construction, farming, and transportation. When it comes to choosing the appropriate tarpaulin for your needs there are a few things you should keep in mind: weight, anti-static properties, and thickness. UNISIGN is an industry leader when it comes to Tarpaulins with their 680gsm PVC Tarpaulins being one of the most popular options on the market. Not only do they offer water resistance, but they also provide anti-static properties that help protect against dust particles which is especially important during construction projects and can result in significant savings when using nylon tarps.
Anti-Static
The UNISIGN Anti-Static 680gsm PVC Tarpaulin is a versatile and affordable solution that is perfect for various types of outdoor use. It offers a variety of benefits, including its anti-static properties which keep dirt, dust and other particles from sticking to it. In addition, because this tarpaulin has a water repellent finish, it ensures that rain and moisture won’t damage your items or equipment when you place them on top of this cover. This polyethylene material also provides UV protection to shield your products from sun exposure while they’re stored outside.
Fire retardant
When looking for a fire retardant tarpaulin, it is important to know what you need it for and how you plan on using it. For example, if you want to cover an outdoor object that could be set on fire, then a light weight material would be preferable. However, if you are using it as a drop cloth in an area where sparks may fly off of tools or equipment, then a heavier material will work better.
The thickness of the tarp also matters- thicker materials are more resistant to tearing and can withstand more abuse than thinner ones. Finally, make sure that any fire retardant coating is approved by UL and has been passed through rigorous testing so that your safety is assured.
Dimensional stability
PVC is a thick material, so it’s important that you get a tarp that will hold up against high winds and rain. Dimensional stability is the measure of how much a material will stretch or shrink before breaking. The higher this number, the more resistant it will be to stretching or shrinking when wet. A good dimensional stability rating for PVC Tarpaulin is 680gsm, meaning it will resist stretching or shrinking by at least 6%.
