PVC coated fabric is a high-performance composite material consisting of a polyester scrim coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) on both sides. It is widely used in industrial, commercial, and architectural applications where strength, flexibility, and resistance to weather and chemicals are required. This product type is ideal for manufacturers and fabricators seeking a reliable membrane for tarpaulins, tents, awnings, and tensile structures.
Pvc Coated Fabric Versatile Industrial Membrane PVC Coated Fabric
Product Overview / Key Features
Our PVC coated fabric is engineered for demanding environments. The PVC coating provides excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and flame retardancy, while the polyester base ensures high tensile and tear strength. The fabric is flexible, easy to weld, and can be customized to meet specific project requirements. Whether you need a durable truck tarpaulin or a light-advertising banner, this coated fabric delivers consistent performance.

Parameter / Performance Notes
The performance of PVC coated fabric depends on the base fabric weight, yarn count, and coating formulation. For example, a higher GSM (grams per square meter) generally indicates a thicker and stronger fabric. Tensile and tear strengths are measured in Newtons per 5 cm or Newtons, respectively, and can be tailored to your application. Adhesion between the PVC coating and the polyester scrim is critical for long-term durability. Flame retardancy is achieved through additives in the PVC compound, and the fabric can be engineered to meet specific fire safety standards. For exact values, please consult our technical team with your requirements.
