What is the difference between PVC Tarpaulin and PE Tarpaulin?

PVC Tarpaulin and PE Tarpaulin are both waterproof,they have same functaion and usage,but they have big difference,PE and PVC are definitely different. The following is a basic explanation of the differences between the two types of tarpaulin.

PE: Chemical name is polyethylene, which is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material and is a material for making PE Tarpaulins. So what are the characteristics of PE? We understand that polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, has excellent low temperature resistance, good water absorption, good electrical insulation performance, and can be used normally at -70 to -100 degrees Celsius. , chemical stability is good.


The production of PE Tarpaulins is generally HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), which has a high use temperature, good hardness, mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Polyethylene is suitable for hollow blow molding, injection molding and extrusion of various products (hard), such as various containers, nets, packing tapes, and can be used as cable coatings, pipes, profiles, sheets, and the like.

PE tarpaulin raw material generally refers to color strip cloth, which is coated on both sides of PE woven fabric with PE film and polypropylene woven cloth. The production process is: drawing-round woven fabric-double-sided coating. The waterproof performance of the tarpaulin is poor, and the waterproof performance is generally not guaranteed after one use. The disadvantage is that it is easy to wear, and the advantage is that the quality is light, clean and pollution-free. Generally used in temporary stacking, rainproof and dustproof, it is not suitable for long-term use in open air environment.
