Should Thickness Be Considered When Choosing A Tarpaulin? What Determines The Thickness Of A Waterproof Tarpaulin?
As an oilcloth manufacturer for many years, we have met many different customers. However, when choosing oilcloth, many people ask about the specifications and thickness of the oilcloth, which seems to be difficult to understand. So today I will explain the thickness and specifications of tarpaulin in detail, so that everyone can be less ignorant when choosing tarpaulin in the future.
The products produced by different manufacturers are definitely different, and the same manufacturer will also produce products with different specifications. During production, the main factors that determine the thickness of the tarpaulin are the thickness of the yarn count, the density of the base fabric and the thickness of the coating material. This is also easy to understand, because the material structure determines the thickness of the tarpaulin. However, this is not to express the opinion that thicker tarps are better. There is no direct proportional relationship between the thickness of the tarp and the quality of the tarp.
So should you consider thickness when choosing a tarpaulin? I am very sure of that. Different tarpaulins have different thicknesses, so their use scenarios are also different. It depends on what you are buying the tarp for. For example, transportation vehicles often come and go in the rain, and the wind on the highway is so strong, so thick tarps are more suitable. If it is used for shading in the planting and breeding industry, it must be rolled up for ventilation when necessary. If it is too thick to roll up easily and is not easy to breathe, a medium-thickness tarpaulin is suitable.
What to look for when choosing a tarpaulin
Tensile and tear resistance
The tarpaulin needs to withstand a lot of tension when being fixed, and will also be violently impacted by bad weather during use. This requires the tarpaulin to have high tensile strength and tear resistance, and be durable while being very durable. Good protection goods. Sunstone tarpaulin is made of polyethylene material and is woven with high density, which has strong tensile and tear resistance and longer service life.
Waterproof and sunscreen
Goods are exposed to the sun and rain during transportation, so the tarpaulin is required to have good waterproof and shading properties to provide a good storage environment for the goods. Sunstone tarpaulin can effectively isolate rainwater, while adding antioxidants, it can be used in both sunny and rainy days, and has the ability to prevent rain and sun.
Acid and alkali resistance
Tarpaulins are exposed outdoors for a long time, the environment is unstable, and they are often exposed to wind and rain. They need to have excellent acid and alkali resistance, so as to protect the goods from damage and reduce losses during transportation. At the same time, their wear resistance must also be very high. powerful. Sunstone tarpaulin has a unique corrosion-resistant formula, which is stable in acid and alkali resistance, durable and more cost-effective.
Environmental protection
The price of tarps depends on the material. Some low-quality tarpaulins on the market are woven from recycled secondary materials. They are rough in workmanship and easily damaged. Sunstone tarpaulin is made of new PVE material, which is odorless and flame retardant, safe and secure, and more environmentally friendly. High-density woven base fabric, soft and easy to fold, with strong storage properties.
