The Differences Between PVC Tarpaulin And PE Tarpaulin

The chemical name of PE is polyethylene,  which is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, used to make PE tarpaulin. So what are the characteristics of PE? The polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, which has excellent low temperature resistance, good water absorption and electrical insulation properties. It can be used normally at -70 to -100 degrees Celsius.

The production of PE tarpaulin generally uses high-density polyethylene, which has a higher temperature, hardness, mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The raw material of PE tarpaulin generally refers to colored striped cloth, which is coated with PE film on both sides of PE woven cloth, and polypropylene woven cloth is also used. It is generally used for temporary storage of goods to prevent rain and dust, and is not suitable for long-term use in open air.

The PVC tarpaulin is based on HDPE canvas, coated with PVC paste resin, speed-increasing agent, anti-fungal agent, anti-aging agent, anti-static agent and other chemical additives. Besides, we can manufacture with different functions, different colors, and different thicknesses according to user needs. The PVC tarpaulin has good rain resistance and durability. Its waterproof effect is the most significant of all waterproof tarps. It is mostly used for long-term outdoor sheltering, rain and wind-shielding, truck transportation, cargo ship sheltering and other purposes.
