After reading this article, you will know how to choose the truck tarpaulin and which one is better

 During truck transportation, the goods shall be covered with tarpaulin to protect the goods from the sun and rain. At present, there are many kinds of tarpaulins in the market, including three proofing cloth, Oxford cloth, knife scraping cloth, PVC oilcloth, silicone cloth, etc. so which are suitable for trucks, and how should we choose?

1、 Which one is better for truck tarpaulin

1. Three proofing cloth

The three proofing cloth is coated with PVC, PTFE, flame-retardant silica gel and other refractory materials on the surface of the refractory fiber. It has the functions of waterproof, sunscreen and mildew resistance, and is tear resistant, cold and high temperature resistant. The four sides of the tarpaulin can be wrapped, and holes are drilled every other meter. It is strong and durable, and easy to fold and wash. It is applicable to the transportation of goods such as trucks and ships.

2. Knife scraping cloth

At present, the knife scraping cloth is widely used in the market. It is light, waterproof, sunscreen, anti-aging, durable, folding and corrosion-resistant, and can play a good role in covering and protecting means of transport and open-air goods.

3. PVC oilcloth

PVC tarpaulin, also known as cargo tarpaulin and automobile tarpaulin, is woven from polyester yarn and coated with PVC polyester to form a waterproof layer. It has a bright surface, waterproof, mildew proof, strong and durable, and its tearing strength is much better than the traditional tarpaulin. It is an internationally popular environmental protection waterproof cloth, which can be used for the freight tarpaulin of cars, trains, ships and cargo ships.

4. Silicone cloth

Silicone cloth is made of synthetic polymers with silicon atom and oxygen atom as the main chain in structure. It has the characteristics of waterproof, corrosion resistance, strong weather resistance, mold resistance, air permeability, portability, long service life, high strength, strong acid and alkali resistance, dust prevention, good softness, anti-aging, environmental protection and non-toxic.

2、 How to choose high quality tarpaulin

When selecting tarpaulins, especially freight tarpaulins, we must focus on their tensile strength, tear resistance, waterproof and shading, wear resistance and durability, flame retardance and fire prevention. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Tensile strength and tear resistance: the tarpaulin shall bear various tensions during use. For example, the tarpaulin shall be pulled and tightened when it is fixed. During use, it is also vulnerable to wind, rain, snow and other weather. This requires that the tarpaulin must have high tensile strength and tear resistance, so as to protect the goods well.

2. Waterproof and shading performance: the goods will be exposed to the sun and rain after transportation, which requires that the tarpaulin has good waterproof and shading performance to provide a good storage environment for the goods.

3. Wear resistance and durability: the tarpaulin must have strong wear resistance because it is exposed outdoors for a long time and exposed to wind and rain.

4. Flame retardant and fireproof: the function of the tarpaulin is to protect the goods from damage, so as to reduce the loss during transportation. Therefore, the flame retardant and fireproof performance of the tarpaulin can not be less, so as to ensure the safety of goods. We can choose to use flame retardant fiber or add flame retardant coating to the tarpaulin.

In short, the choice of truck tarpaulin is very important as the God of protection in the process of cargo transportation.
