Difference between 5 Tarpaulin Materials

With the economic development, demand for tarpaulin has also been rising. There are many types of tarpaulins, but its material composition is basically five categories, the following is the difference between 5 Tarpaulin Materials：Cotton Tarpaulin, Polyester Tarpaulin, Nylon Tarpaulin, Metal Tarpaulin and Silk Tarpaulin. Different types of materials made of these tarps have different characteristics.

Cotton Tarpaulin: it’s not good at textile uniformity, and mesh holes sizes and mesh shapes are uneven, Strength Resistant is bad, so the product is not ideal for printing.

Nylon Tarpaulin: The main textile composition is polyamide fiber, which is a kind of synthetic fiber. The characteristics of nylon tarpaulä are mostly abrasion resistance, heavy-strength, waterproof, elastic, and even weave indicate smooth. Its lack of material stretches is very large.

Polyester Tarpaulin: Also known as Terylene Tarpaulin, but it’s also as a synthetic fiber. Mesh hole area and density are both very uniform, the chemical properties of its are stronger than Nylon Tarpaulin, but the elongation is lower than the nylon tarpaulin, is sure to be back to static electricity, water performance compared with nylon tarpaulin is poor.

Metal Tarpaulin: The features of Metal Tarpaulin are high strength, abrasion resistance, wear resistance, tear resistance, chemical resistance, the surface finish is smooth and high, and the conductive properties are particularly good, the disadvantage is that the elasticity of small, tarpaulin creases cannot be restored elasticity, which will lead to scrap.

Silk Tarpaulin: Compare with the Cotton Tarpaulin, the Silk Tarpaulin has much higher evenness, tensile strength, and surface finish, but the disadvantage is that the elongation is too large, will easy to deterioration, poor light resistance, while long-term exposure to light is easy to brittle.
