PVC tarpaulins are generally made of polyester, but there are other materials available, including coated canvas. Polyester is a good choice for tarpaulins because it is lightweight, breathable, and resistant to water and rot. It also lasts a long time, even after repeated use. The seams are sewn with polyester cotton thread. Besides its durability, PVC tarpaulins are resistant to rips and tears.

The raw material for PE tarpaulin is a polyethylene film or woven fabric. It has excellent mechanical and electrical insulation properties and can be used in a wide range of temperatures. Its versatility makes it suitable for use in a variety of products, including packing tapes and cables. This makes it a good choice for temporary stacking. However, it is not suitable for long-term use in open-air environments.

A PVC tarpaulin is a type of waterproof canvas made of polyester filament fabric. It is double coated with PVC paste resin and goes through a long process of dipping and light pressure cooling. The result is a high-quality, rain-resistant canvas. It is far superior to PE and PP tarpaulin, especially when exposed to cold sun. Besides, PVC tarpaulin is attractive and is highly durable.

Another important factor when choosing a PVC tarpaulin is its water resistance. PVC fabric is better than polyester, but a double-stitched PVC tarpaulin won't provide much protection in snow and ice. A PVC tarpaulin will only protect you from light rain but won't stand up to heavier snow and ice. For heavier snow, PVC tarpaulins should be avoided, as they won't protect you from heavy snow and ice.

A PVC tarpaulin is useful for many home improvement projects. For instance, it is ideal for painting walls. It won't absorb paint and will protect your furniture and landscaping from spills. You can also use a PVC tarp as a protective cover for your landscape. If you're painting the exterior of your house, it's a good idea to protect it with a PVC tarpaulin before you begin.

While canvas tarpaulins aren't totally waterproof, they're water resistant. It will hold small amounts of water, but standing water will drip through it. They can't drain away water, either. You can purchase tarp tents made of silnylon or PVC. For remodeling projects, polyethylene tarpaulins can be used as a roofing material.
