In the local market, canvas is commonly known as a large sheet of industrial textile that is strong, flexible and water resistant. As such, things like truck curtain or lorry side wall are normally called Lorry Canvas. As a matter of fact, this type of lorry canvas is a tarpaulin which is a polyester coated with polyurethane or made of plastics such as polyethylene.
We are dealing with 3 main categories of tarpaulin; each has its distinctive specifications and applications.
PVC Tarpaulin Vinylon
PVC Tarpaulin
PE Tarpaulin
PVC Tarpaulin Vinylon, more commonly known as Lorry Canvas, is made of industrial-grade canvas and intended for super heavy-duty use. It is waterproof and has high abrasion resistance and tear strength.
Our PVC Tarpaulin Vinylon is ideal for logistic, industrial, agriculture, horticulture and construction use. It is the material for lorry/ truck shield, outdoor tent and awnings and for other heavy-duty applications. This type of tarpaulin has the ability to provide strong resistance to fungi, mildew and insects. Additionally, it is an excellent water repellent and has strong resistance against sunlight. Due to its similarities to cotton, Vinylon is often seen as having a good balance of characteristics between cotton and thermoplastics which makes it popular.
Basically, we supply 3 different grades of Vinylon to cater for different purpose and usage and more fundamentally to accommodate customers with different budget :-
In term of durability, the Ultra Lite Z series are ranked on top. Contrary to popular belief, durability and life span of a canvas does not depend on thickness solely but its specification indeed. As such, it may be surprising that the Ultra Lite series ie Z2000 and Z9000 emerge to be extra-ordinarily strong and at the same time much lighter compared to other similar tarpaulin.
Lightweight is particularly important for those who handle huge sheets of canvas. Take for instance, to cover a 40 feet cargo container, you would probably need a piece of canvas of 40 feet length x 60 feet width. Weight of an ordinary PVC Tarpaulin Vinylon is approximately 150kg ! How many workers would you require to move it? If you replace it with our Ultra lite canvas, you can save a lot of human resources because its weight is approximately 75kg only!
Over and above its usage as cover and shield, more and more contractors opt for our Ultra Lite canvas for making awning, roof extension, tent and truck curtain. It is not only easy to manage but extremely durable and user-friendly.

Our S Series is certainly the ultimate choice when it comes to the waterproof test. Doubtlessly most canvas are waterproof. But the degree of durability against waterproof does matter when customer is sourcing for fish tank canvas or pool liner. S5000 and S6000 are clearly excellent choice of material for the above purpose. This type of tarpaulin is made of thick layer of PVC coating thus create marvellous impearmeable effect.
It takes high technological skill to produce a silk-like effect on canvas sheet. Production practically has to be done in a clean room to prevent dust. Our S Series Vinylon has multiple fold life span compared to ordinary PE Tarpaulin. S Series is suitable for heavy duty usage and lately it has gained much popularity to be used as material for pool liner and fish tank canvas.
Tarpaulins have multiple uses, including as shelter from the elements, i.e., wind, rain, sunlight and as ground sheet. Tarpaulins are often used during the build process to protect brickwork from weather damage and at sloppy hillside to prevent landslide. These days, it is also popularly used for agricultural purpose to protect crops.
The M450 is most competitive in term of pricing without compromise on quality and durability. Thus it has been largely used for construction and agricultural purpose. Basically, we offer all our canvas in 3 forms :-
Roll
Ready-Made Sheet
Custom-Made
PVC is the abbreviation derived from polyvinyl chloride, or more commonly known as PVC Tarpaulin. It is a derivative of natural salt, water and petroleum. PVC Tarpaulin has a fantastic heat resistant characteristic, when placed under direct sunlight with UV attack, it reacts more slowly compared to other materials. In addition to that, PVC Tarpaulins are generally unaffected by moist. It is not only chemically stable, resistant to moths and biological attack, but also poor conductors of heat and electricity.
With such properties, PVC Tarpaulin found its extensive usage in industrial applications such as bonding agents for non-woven products, filter pads, fishing lines and nets, fishing pond carpets and protective clothing.
Another highly popular usage of PVC tarpaulin is as water proof canvas in the fabrication of commercial umbrella canvas, canopy canvas, multipurpose covers, canvas bag, canvas sheets and awnings as it has a variety of favourable properties which supports these applications. PVC fibres are soft and have good elasticity; it has the ability to resume to its original shape and position from bending and folding.

Classic Design PVC Tarpaulin
Most of the PVC coated tarpaulins are found in classic design. Apart of supplying classic design PVC tarpaulin, we present our PVC tarpaulin in Ripstop design. Such design though is not novel in the market for fabrics, it is scarce in Malaysia market especially for fabric like PVC Tarpaulin.
Ripstop woven design uses a special reinforcing technique that makes them resistant to tearing and ripping. During weaving, thick reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. Older lightweight Ripstop design display the thicker interlocking thread patterns in the material quite prominently, but we have adopted more modern weaving techniques in our PVC Tarpaulin which make the Ripstop threads less obvious.
Great advantages can be achieved by adopting the Ripstop woven design, as such design can reduce the wear on the fabrics which are in direct contact with the ground or the wind. It is made in strength-to-weight ratio and that small tears will not easily spread and thus making our ripstop canvas more durable than its contemporary.
PE tarpaulin is a type of lightweight waterproof canvas and is commonly used on work sites in the form of canvas sheet as temporary tents, cover for building materials and equipment. One of an important reason which makes it popular is its price. It is apparently one of the most cost effective material for temporary coverage. Further, due to its lightweight design, it is very user friendly and portable. It can be transported and used to set up coverage with least effort.
We supply 2 types of PE Tarpaulin, ie :-
