Fire Retardant PVC Coated Tarpaulin

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

The selection must be driven by the specific fire rating mandated by local building codes for the installation location.

• Certification Specificity: Verify the required standard (e.g., NFPA 701 Test 2 for large public tents) and request the corresponding certified additive package.

• Weight vs. Strength: Choose a GSM that satisfies both the required tear strength (e.g., 900GSM for high stress) and the budget constraints.

• Finish: Available in translucent or opaque finishes, depending on the need for internal light transmission.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

FR additive control and batch testing are critical stages in the production of this material.

• Additive Dosing: The FR compound is measured precisely to meet the fire rating while maintaining the flexibility and weldability of the PVC.

• External Testing: Production samples are regularly tested by certified third-party labs to ensure continuous compliance with the specified fire standards.

• Identification: Rolls are clearly labeled with the specific fire rating (e.g., 'FR B1') for easy identification by the manufacturer and final end-user.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Does folding the material reduce the fire retardant property?

  A: No, since the FR additives are embedded within the PVC coating, folding and creasing do not compromise the material's fire-retardant performance.

• Q: Is a certificate of conformity provided with the material?

  A: Yes, a certificate of compliance for the specified fire standard (e.g., NFPA 701) is supplied with the corresponding material batch for regulatory documentation purposes.
