Tent and Marquee PVC Fabric

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

Selection should focus on the required fire rating, expected wind load, and the desired light transmission.

• Fire Code: Always confirm the required local or venue-specific fire retardancy certification (e.g., NFPA 701, B1) and request corresponding certificates.

• Wind/Snow Load: For higher loads, choose heavier GSM (900GSM) and a coated (not laminated) material for better structural integrity.

• Sidewalls vs. Roof: Lighter material (650GSM) may be acceptable for sidewalls, but the roof should be a heavier, blockout grade for weather protection.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

Production is centered on maintaining high fire safety and consistent structural properties.

• FR Additive Integration:

  Fire retardant compounds are thoroughly blended into the PVC matrix to ensure uniform and permanent protection throughout the coating.

• High-Speed QC: Automated inspection systems check for pinholes and coating defects that could compromise the fabric's waterproofing integrity.

• Color Consistency: We ensure tight Delta E color control across batches, vital for manufacturers who fabricate tents from multiple rolls over time.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Does the translucent material block UV rays?

  A: Yes, despite allowing natural light through, the PVC coating is formulated with UV absorbers to block nearly 100% of harmful UV radiation.

• Q: Is the fabric compatible with Keder extrusion systems?

  A: Yes, the tensile strength and thickness are optimized for welding Keder beads directly onto the edges for secure and easy installation into aluminum extrusion frames.
