What Is Reinforced PVC Material?

Reinforced PVC material is a composite fabric consisting of a high-tenacity polyester mesh (scrim) coated or laminated with flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The reinforcement provides structural stability, tear resistance, and dimensional strength, while the PVC coating delivers waterproofing, chemical resistance, UV stability, and long-lasting durability.

At DERFLEX, we produce reinforced PVC materials using advanced coating and lamination technologies:

• Knife coating
• Lamination / hot-melt lamination
• Calender coating
• Multi-layer reinforcement technologies

These processes ensure consistent physical performance, strong adhesion between layers, and superior weather resistance—ideal for tarpaulins, construction structures, truck side curtains, tents, canopies, and a wide range of industrial uses.

Main Features of DERFLEX Reinforced PVC Material

1. High Tensile and Tear Strength

The embedded polyester fabric acts as a structural backbone, significantly increasing load-bearing capacity and providing outstanding resistance to tearing, stretching, and mechanical stress. This makes DERFLEX reinforced PVC ideal for heavy-duty and long-term outdoor use.

2. 100% Waterproof and Weatherproof

PVC coatings provide complete protection against water, moisture, and humidity. Even under continuous rain, immersion, or extreme weather, the material maintains waterproofing capabilities without delamination.

3. UV, Heat, and Cold Resistance

Reinforced PVC can withstand prolonged outdoor UV exposure and extreme temperatures:

• Heat resistance: up to +70°C
• Cold resistance: down to -30°C or lower (depending on grade)
• Anti-aging formulation for sunny and high-altitude regions

4. Flame-Retardant Options

For applications requiring fire safety certification, DERFLEX offers flame-retardant grades compliant with:

• B1
• M2
• NFPA701
• EN13501-1 (upon request)

5. Chemical and Abrasion Resistance

Suitable for industrial facilities, chemical environments, and marine exposure. Reinforced PVC resists:

• Acids and alkalis
• Saltwater and moisture
• Industrial oils
• Surface abrasion and friction damage

6. Easy Welding and Fabrication

Reinforced PVC is compatible with:

• Hot-air welding
• High-frequency welding
• Solvent welding
• Sewing, bonding, or heat sealing

Ideal for large-area structures, covers, and modular fabrication.

7. Wide Range of Customization Options

DERFLEX offers complete custom manufacturing:

• Thickness: 0.3mm–1.8mm
• Base fabric: 200D–2000D
• Reinforcement patterns: plain, grid, strong mesh
• Surface style: matte, gloss, embossed, anti-slip
• Colors: any Pantone color available
• Roll sizes and lengths
• Special coatings: anti-fungal, anti-static, flame-retardant
