Surface treatment of waterproof PVC (polyvinyl chloride) tarpaulin is one of the core processes for producing PVC tarpaulin material rolls, which can improve the durability and performance of PVC materials. There are three types of surface treatment materials for waterproof PVC tarpaulin: PVDF, acrylic, and titanium dioxide, which provide different performances for customers with various needs. Next, I will introduce the content and advantages of PVDF treatment in detail for PVC tarpaulin distributors and agents around the world:
What is the principle of PVDF surface treatment?
PVDF is a high-performance fluoropolymer coating applied to the surface of waterproof PVC tarpaulin. This process treatment is usually completed by applying PVDF coating on PVC materials through hot melt calendering machines and knife coating machines. This PVDF coating can be used on the front of the PVC material or both sides. As an OEM/ODM PVC tarpaulin manufacturer, this can be made according to customer requirements.
This technology FLFX was introduced in Germany in 2010 and has sold about 20 million square meters of PVDF surface-treated PVC tarpaulin worldwide. After ten years of sales experience and user feedback, FLFX spent a huge amount of money to purchase the latest coating equipment in 2020. This technology can coat two layers of PVDF on PVC materials, increasing the coverage of PVDF coating on PVC materials. Greatly improve the performance and durability of waterproof PVC tarpaulins.
What can PVDF surface treatment add to waterproof PVC tarpaulins?
Features:
- Enhanced durability: PVDF has excellent resistance to UV, chemicals, and weathering compared to standard PVC coatings. This makes waterproof PVC tarpaulins more durable and longer-lasting.
- Improved aesthetics: PVDF coating can provide a smoother surface, which enhances the appearance of PVC tarpaulins. It can also provide better color retention and resistance to fading.
- Easier to clean: PVDF-treated surfaces are more resistant to dirt and grime accumulation, do not require regular manual cleaning, and are easier to clean and maintain.
Advantages:
- Extended service life: Due to its strong protective properties, waterproof PVC tarpaulins treated with PVDF tend to have a longer service life even in harsh conditions.
- Excellent UV resistance: PVDF coatings have excellent protection against UV degradation, helping to maintain the strength and flexibility of the tarpaulin for a long time.
- Chemical resistance: PVDF coatings are resistant to a wide range of chemicals and are suitable for use in more challenging environments.
- Anti-crease: PVDF coating can give PVC material tarpaulins a certain anti-crease effect.
PVDF, acrylic and titanium dioxide all provide the same performance for PVC tarps, but the degree of effect is different. If you want to know more about the surface treatment effects and their prices, you can contact us by email.
What applications are surface treated PVC tarpaulins commonly used for?
Surface treated PVC tarps are versatile and can be used in various applications due to their durability, water resistance, and flexibility. Some common uses are architectural membranes, PVC tents, truck tarpaulins, pool liners, and more.
- Architectural Membrane Warranty 10 Years: Users can check the quality assurance certificate at any time on the independent website.
- Architectural Membrane Warranty 15-20 Years: Users can check the quality assurance certificate at any time on the independent website.
- Extra Wide 5m PVC Tent Fabric: Reduce welding frequency and reduce work difficulty.
- 5m Truck Tarpaulin: Truck roof and two side curtains do not require welding.
