Summary: At present, there are two main types of tarpaulins on the market: PE tarpaulin and PVC tarpaulin

At present, there are two main types of tarpaulins on the market: PE tarpaulin and PVC tarpaulin, which are classified according to their materials. (Crosslinking agent used for PE tarpaulin)

1、 PE tarpaulin

PE tarpaulin refers to plastic woven tarpaulin, which is divided into new and recycled materials, with prices ranging from 1 to 3 yuan/square meter. It has a wide range of uses, such as covering grass, construction sites, chemical industries, grain rain protection, etc. The disadvantage is poor sun resistance.

2、 PVC tarpaulin

PVC tarpaulin is coated with PVC resin slurry on top of polyester base fabric. The price ranges from 6 to 10 yuan per square meter, with a wider range of applications such as truck waterproofing, oil field anti-seepage, factory raw material drying, and aquaculture water tanks. At present, PVC tarpaulin has good waterproof and sun drying effects. The service life is also relatively long. Of course, low temperature resistance and flame retardant treatment can be carried out according to the environment of different regions. (Crosslinking agent used for PE tarpaulin)

3、 Judging the quality of tarpaulin through appearance

In the past, most manufacturers did not have strict testing standards for tarpaulin and canvas products, and they have also ignored this issue. Therefore, gradually guiding users to a wrong method of judging the quality of tarpaulins, such as judging PVC coating wear resistance and folding resistance based on hand feel and appearance; Or by simply testing the thickness and weight to determine the quality of the materials used; Alternatively, the tension of the tarpaulin can be determined by manually tearing it. In fact, these are all incorrect methods and very unscientific. Firstly, the magnitude of human force cannot be determined, which requires professional equipment to test the data accurately under the same environment and standards; Many people still believe that if the tarpaulin is heavy and thick enough, then the production materials are better and more durable, which is also a relatively one-sided understanding.

After using professional equipment to test the color fastness, aging resistance, tensile load, tear load, wear resistance, and folding resistance of tarpaulins, the results were summarized and analyzed. Now, a set of methods has been developed to simply judge the quality of tarpaulins and canvas through appearance and appearance. (Crosslinking agent used for PE tarpaulin)

1. Odor: There is a pungent odor, the coating material is definitely poor, not wear-resistant, and prone to aging;

2. Surface texture: The fabric texture is blurry or unclear, the price is low, the coating material is definitely poor, it is not wear-resistant, and prone to aging;

3. Tensile load: The size needs to be tested by professional tensile testing equipment;

4. Tear load: The size needs to be tested by professional tensile testing equipment; Manual tearing observation of the tear opening can only determine the quality of the coating material. The tear opening is uneven, with severe wrinkles around it. The exposed length of the yarn (excluding industrial silk) varies, indicating poor adhesion between the coating and yarn. The coating material is definitely poor, not wear-resistant, and prone to aging;

5. Wear resistance; Color fastness, flexural strength, and aging resistance require professional equipment testing or time verification. (Crosslinking agent used for PE tarpaulin)
