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.
Canvas – PVC Tarpaulin Vinylon
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 :-
- Ultra Lite Z Series
