What is Marine Tarpaulin?
Marine tarpaulin is a heavy-duty waterproof and UV-resistant material designed specifically for offshore, coastal, and shipyard environments. Unlike ordinary tarps, marine tarpaulin features:
- Saltwater corrosion resistance
- High UV stability (anti-aging) for long-term outdoor exposure
- Extra tear strength for tough sea conditions
- Mildew, mold, and algae resistance
- Cold-crack resistance down to −40°C
- Optional fire retardancy (B1, M1, NFPA701)
DERFLEX marine tarpaulin is manufactured using premium PVC coated polyester, ensuring long service life and excellent performance in extreme marine environments.
