1100GSM Heavy Duty PVC Tarpaulin

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

This material is selected only when mechanical failure is unacceptable and the required lifespan is a decade or more.

• Stress Factor: Only use 1100GSM for applications involving continuous dynamic stress (trucking, tension structures) or high-value covered assets.

• Coating Choice: Always specify an acrylic or PVDF topcoat for this grade to protect the investment and simplify cleaning over the long term.

• Fabrication: Ensure your fabricator uses high-power, industrial welding equipment capable of properly fusing the thick layers of this heavy material.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

The production is built around heavy-duty machinery and extreme quality assurance protocols.

• High-Pressure Coating:

  The PVC compound is applied under high pressure to fully encapsulate the 2000D base scrim, ensuring total waterproofing and adhesion.

• Advanced Additive Package: The formulation includes maximum doses of UV stabilizers and antioxidants to guarantee the long service life of the polymer coating.

• Destructive Testing: Regular destructive testing is performed on samples to confirm the ultimate tensile and tear propagation strengths meet the absolute highest standards.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Is 1100GSM necessary if the application is not trucking?

  A: Yes, if the structure involves permanent tensioning, high snow/wind loads (e.g., stadium barriers), or covering high-abrasion cargo (e.g., mining ore), the 1100GSM provides essential structural redundancy.

• Q: Can this heavy material be digitally printed?

  A: Yes, the heavy material is fully printable, often using UV or specialized solvent inks, for large-format, high-impact branding on truck curtains or industrial covers.
