500D Polyester Tarp – High Strength Industrial Polyester Tarpaulin Fabric
The 500D polyester tarp is a widely used industrial-grade base fabric engineered for coated tarpaulins, outdoor protective covers, and functional composite materials. At DERFLEX, we manufacture premium-quality 500 denier polyester tarp fabrics designed to deliver exceptional tensile strength, dimensional stability, and long-term durability under demanding environments.
As a professional manufacturer of coated textile base fabrics, DERFLEX supplies 500D polyester tarpaulin fabrics to global customers in construction, transportation, agriculture, logistics, marine, and industrial protection sectors. Our products are optimized for PVC coating, PU coating, acrylic treatment, and customized functional finishes.
What Is a 500D Polyester Tarp?
A 500D polyester tarp refers to a woven polyester fabric made from 500 denier high-tenacity polyester yarns. The denier (D) value represents the linear mass density of the fiber, indicating a balance between flexibility and strength. Compared with lighter fabrics such as 300D or 420D, 500D polyester offers higher tear resistance while maintaining excellent coating adhesion and processability.
This material is commonly used as a base cloth for coated tarpaulins, where it is laminated or coated with PVC, PU, or other polymers to achieve waterproofing, UV resistance, flame retardancy, and weather protection.
Key Characteristics of 500D Polyester Fabric
- High tensile strength and tear resistance
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Uniform weaving structure
- Superior coating adhesion
- Long service life in outdoor environments

Why Choose 500D Polyester Tarp for Industrial Applications?
1. Optimized Strength-to-Weight Ratio
500D polyester tarpaulin fabric provides an ideal balance between mechanical strength and fabric flexibility. It is strong enough for demanding applications while remaining easy to process during coating, cutting, welding, and sewing.
2. Superior Coating Adhesion
The tightly controlled weaving density and yarn tension ensure excellent adhesion with PVC and PU coatings, reducing delamination risks and improving the lifespan of finished tarps.
3. Weather and UV Resistance
When combined with UV-stabilized coatings, 500D polyester tarp fabrics perform reliably in prolonged outdoor exposure, resisting degradation from sunlight, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations.
4. Cost-Effective Performance
Compared with heavier fabrics such as 600D or 1000D polyester, 500D offers excellent durability at a more economical cost, making it a popular choice for large-scale projects.
Main Applications of 500D Polyester Tarpaulin
Construction & Building Protection
500D polyester tarps are widely used for scaffold covers, debris containment, temporary roofing, and site protection. Their strength and coating compatibility make them ideal for heavy-duty construction environments.
Transportation & Logistics Covers
Truck covers, cargo tarpaulins, railway protection sheets, and container liners frequently utilize 500D polyester tarp fabric due to its durability and resistance to tearing during transport.
Agriculture & Farming
In agricultural applications, 500D polyester tarps are used for hay covers, equipment protection, greenhouse side curtains, and crop protection sheets.
Industrial & Equipment Covers
Machinery covers, warehouse partitions, and industrial curtains benefit from the structural stability and long service life of 500D polyester tarp materials.
