Product Definition
PP Tarpaulin, also known as Polypropylene Tarpaulin, is a versatile protective covering made from woven polypropylene fabric with a coated surface.
It offers good waterproofing, moisture resistance, tear resistance and abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight, flexible and easy to fold, transport and store.
PP tarpaulins can be manufactured in different weights, thicknesses, sizes and colors according to specific application requirements. UV stabilization can also be added for outdoor applications.
The tarpaulin is widely used for truck and trailer covers, cargo protection, construction sites, agriculture, logistics, outdoor storage and industrial applications.
Key Features
1. Waterproof & Moisture Resistant
The woven PP fabric and coated surface provide reliable protection against rain, moisture and dust.
2. Strong & Tear Resistant
The high-strength woven structure provides good tensile and tear resistance for transportation, storage and outdoor covering applications.
3. Lightweight & Easy to Handle
Compared with traditional canvas covers, PP tarpaulin is lightweight, easy to fold and convenient for installation, transportation and storage.
4. UV & Weather Resistant
UV stabilizers can be added according to customer requirements to improve outdoor durability and resistance to sunlight.
5. Fully Customizable
Weight, thickness, dimensions, color, edge reinforcement, eyelet spacing, UV treatment and packaging can all be customized.
