Is PVC coated polyester fabric UV resistant?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coated polyester fabrics generally have a certain degree of UV resistance. This fabric material is primarily composed of PVC and a polyester base fabric, with the PVC coating helping to protect the underlying polyester fabric from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, the degree of UV resistance is mainly affected by the specific formulation of the PVC coating and the quality of the polyester fabric

The polyester fiber base fabric does not have any flame retardant properties. The effect is mainly achieved by adhering the flame retardant PVC coating to the base fabric. But there is another solution, which is to replace our regular polyester fiber fabric with fiberglass fabric to make PVC coated fiberglass fabric. This kind of glass fiber fabric has the best flame retardant performance in the textile material industry. A single layer of glass fiber fabric can achieve Class A flame retardancy. If there is a flame-retardant PVC coating on the coating, the flame-retardant effect of the manufactured PVC coated fiberglass fabric can meet the requirements of each customer. But one thing worth noting is that the manufacturing cost is much more expensive than conventional PVC coated polyester fabrics. If you don’t care about the cost and want to know more about PVC coated fiberglass fabrics, you can contact us by email.

In addition to UV resistance being an important factor, the strength of the base fabric is also worthy of our attention. For materials such as outdoor fabrics, awnings, pool liners, and industrial coverings that are exposed to the sun for extended periods, 1000 Denier PVC coated polyester fabric is the most suitable product. Denier refers to the thickness of the individual threads used in the fabric. The higher the denier number, the more durable and long-lasting the fabric material is, and the more expensive it will be. Of course, in addition to 1000 Denier PVC coated polyester fabric, we also have 600D polyester with PVC coating, 500D PVC tarpaulin, etc. These can be selected exactly according to the customer’s intended application. Even FLFX manufacturers can guarantee that the 1000d PVC coated polyester fabric will not change after 20-25 years of use. But exposure to UV radiation over time after 25 years will cause the 1000D PVC coated polyester to fade, become brittle, chalk, crack, and lose strength.

When custom producing PVC coated polyester fabric for outdoor use, it is recommended to check the product specifications or consult FLFX fabric factory to ensure that the PVC coated polyester fabric meets the UV resistance requirements of your specific application, which can help extend the service life. For every custom PVC tarpaulin order placed by a customer, our quality inspectors will use laboratory equipment to conduct a comprehensive quality inspection of the PVC coated tensile fabric. Ensure that products meet customer requirements before shipment.

The most influential brand currently is SRF PVC coated fabrics, but due to its brand premium, the PVC coated polyester fabric price is relatively high. As for FLFX PVC coated fabric manufacturer with 20 years of experience in the fabric material industry, we have always pleased customers with high quality and low prices. Next, I will explain to you the components of the PVC coated polyester fabrics price:

Raw materials: PVC coated fabric price, indispensable are the PVC, colorants, and additives required for production. The specific price must be calculated based on the PVC weight cost and the performance cost required by the user.

Base fabric: There are many materials for base fabric, such as polyester fiber, fiberglass, nylon, etc. However, what we commonly see is mainly polyester fiber. Take polyester fiber base fabric as an example. The higher the denier, the higher the PVC coated polyester fabric price.

Production technology: There are currently only three production technologies in the world, cold lamination technology, hot melt calendering technology, and knife scraping technology. PVC coated polyester fabric is mainly made by knife scraping technology, and the machine costs of most manufacturers are similar.
