Key Performance Requirements for Truck Tarpaulin Fabrics
High Tensile Strength
Truck and trailer tarpaulins must resist strong wind loads and mechanical stress during transportation. DERFLEX fabrics are manufactured with high-tenacity polyester yarns that deliver excellent tensile and tear strength, ensuring structural stability even under extreme conditions.
Excellent Waterproof Performance
Waterproof protection is essential for safeguarding cargo from rain and moisture. DERFLEX PVC tarpaulin fabrics provide reliable water impermeability, protecting goods during long-distance transport and storage.
UV and Weather Resistance
Continuous exposure to sunlight can degrade low-quality fabrics. DERFLEX fabrics incorporate UV stabilizers in the PVC coating to ensure long-term resistance to sunlight, preventing cracking, fading, and loss of strength.
Abrasion and Flex Resistance
Truck tarpaulins are frequently rolled, folded, and tensioned. Our fabrics maintain flexibility and surface integrity, even after repeated handling and mechanical stress.
Truck Curtain-Side Fabric Solutions
Curtain-side trucks are widely used in modern logistics due to their loading efficiency and flexibility. The curtain fabric must function as both a protective cover and a load-securing element.
DERFLEX curtain-side tarpaulin fabrics are engineered to meet EN 12641-2 load securing standards, offering high tear strength, reinforced scrim structures, and consistent coating quality.
Trailer Tarpaulin Fabrics
Trailer tarpaulins are used for various trailer types, including box trailers, flatbed trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles. DERFLEX provides a wide range of fabric weights and constructions to suit different trailer designs.
Optional features include flame retardancy, anti-fungal treatment, and customized color solutions.
