Welcome to the product page of PVC coated polyester tarpaulin from DERFLEX (Shanghai DER New Materials Co., Ltd.). If you are searching for a durable, high-performance tarpaulin fabric — whether it be for truck covers, industrial membrane structures, tents or flexible storage covers — our PVC coated polyester tarpaulin is engineered to meet those demands.
Product Introduction
Our PVC coated polyester tarpaulin (also referred to as vinyl coated polyester tarpaulin) is manufactured using a high-strength 100% polyester scrim base which is coated on one or both sides with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This combination delivers excellent tensile strength, tear-resistance, waterproof protection and weather-durability.
At DERFLEX, we produce these fabrics in a variety of weights and widths, suitable for applications including heavy-duty covers, architectural membrane structures, truck and trailer side curtains, inflatable items, tents and more.
Inflatable structures, water tanks, storage bladders.
Agricultural covers: hay, silos, pond liners.
Industrial side-curtains, warehouse covers.
Marine covers: boat shelters, dock covers.
Due to its excellent durability, uv-resistance and ease of welding/seaming, it is ideal for heavy duty covering needs and long-term outdoor use.

Installation Precautions
To maximise the service life of your PVC coated polyester tarpaulin, please note the following installation precautions:
Ensure the substrate structure is clean, smooth and free from sharp edges or welding slag that could abrade the tarpaulin.
Avoid direct contact with hot surfaces, open flames or welding sparks. Use flame-retardant grades if fire risk is present.
Allow for thermal expansion and contraction when installing; provide sufficient over-lap and proper seam welding or stitching.
Use correct welding/seaming methods: high-frequency welding, hot-air welding or heat-sealing are recommended for PVC tarpaulins rather than simple sewing in high-stress areas.
For outdoor installation, orient the coloured side and surface treatment as per orientation (e.g., lacquered side outward for UV protection).
Clean periodically. Remove dust, salt, mildew, oil or chemical deposits that can accelerate ageing.
When storing unused tarpaulin rolls, keep them in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or high heat sources.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What is the difference between “PVC coated polyester tarpaulin” and “PVC laminated tarpaulin”?
A: In a coated fabric the PVC is applied directly by knife-coating or calendering onto the base fabric, providing better flexibility and foldability. Laminated fabrics bond pre-formed PVC film onto the fabric, resulting in higher air-tightness but less flexibility.
Q: What is the typical weight range for PVC coated polyester tarpaulin fabrics?
A: Weight ranges from ~240 gsm up to 1700 gsm or higher depending on base fabric and coating thickness.
Q: Can I request custom colours and printing on the fabric?
A: Yes — DERFLEX offers custom colours (RAL/Pantone), logo printing, and complete fabric finishing including surface lacquer, embossing, anti-slip texture.
Q: What surface treatments are available for UV / self-cleaning performance?
A: We offer acrylic or PVDF lacquer treatments that enhance UV resistance, self-cleaning performance and extend service life.
Q: Are flame-retardant grades available?
A: Yes — we can manufacture tarpaulins meeting B1/B2, NFPA 701, M1/M2 as requested.
Q: What width can you supply?”
A: Standard widths range 1.0m to 5.1m; wider widths reduce seam count. Custom widths available.
