Professional Tensile Fabric Supplier for Architectural & Industrial Applications
DERFLEX – A Global Tensile Fabric Supplier You Can Trust
As modern architecture continues to evolve toward lightweight, sustainable, and visually dynamic structures, tensile fabrics have become a core material in contemporary design. DERFLEX stands at the forefront of this industry as a professional tensile fabric supplier with decades of manufacturing expertise.
From large-span architectural membrane structures to industrial roofing, shading systems, and tensile façades, DERFLEX delivers advanced coated fabric solutions engineered for strength, durability, and long-term performance.
Our tensile fabrics are trusted by architects, engineers, fabricators, and project developers in more than 100 countries. 
What Is Tensile Fabric?
Tensile fabric is a high-strength technical textile designed to work primarily under tension rather than compression. It is commonly used in membrane structures where flexibility, lightweight construction, and large-span coverage are required.
DERFLEX tensile fabrics are typically manufactured using high-tenacity polyester base cloth combined with advanced coating technologies such as PVC, PVDF, or PTFE.
This engineered composition allows tensile fabric structures to achieve exceptional load-bearing capacity, weather resistance, and design freedom.
Types of Tensile Fabrics Supplied by DERFLEX
PVC Coated Tensile Fabric
PVC coated tensile fabric is the most widely used material for membrane structures due to its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and strong mechanical properties.
- High tensile strength
- Excellent weldability
- Wide color availability
- Suitable for permanent and semi-permanent structures
PVDF Tensile Membrane Fabric
PVDF surface treatment enhances self-cleaning properties and UV resistance, making it ideal for long-term architectural projects.
- Superior dirt resistance
- Extended service life
- Improved weatherability
PTFE Tensile Fabric
PTFE coated fiberglass fabric represents the highest performance category of tensile membranes, often used in landmark architectural structures.
- Exceptional fire resistance
- Service life exceeding 25–30 years
- Outstanding chemical and UV stability
