When trucks are transported, the goods need to be covered with tarpaulins to protect them from the sun and rain. At present, there are many kinds of tarpaulins on the market, including three-proof cloth, Oxford cloth, knife scraping cloth, pvc tarpaulin, silicone cloth, etc. So which ones are suitable for trucks, and how should we choose?
1. Which is better for truck tarpaulin
1. Three-proof cloth
The three-proof cloth is a fire-resistant fiber surface coated with pvc, ptfe, flame-retardant silica gel and other fire-resistant materials. It has the functions of waterproof, sunscreen, and mildew resistance, and is resistant to tearing, cold and high temperature. The tarpaulin can be wrapped on four sides, every other It is sturdy and durable, easy to fold and wash. Suitable for cargo transportation such as trucks and ships.
2. Knife scraping cloth
Knife squeegee cloth is also widely used in the market. It is light, waterproof, sun-proof, anti-aging, durable, flexural and corrosion-resistant, and can play a good role in covering and protecting transportation vehicles and open-air cargo.
3. PVC tarpaulin
PVC tarpaulin, also called cargo tarpaulin, car tarpaulin, is woven by polyester yarn, sprayed with polyvinyl chloride polyester to form a waterproof layer. The surface is bright, waterproof, mildew-proof, durable, and its tearing strength is much better than traditional tarpaulins. , Is an internationally popular environmental protection waterproof cloth, which can be used as freight tarpaulin for cars, trains, ships and cargo ships.
4. Silicone cloth
Silicone cloth is made of synthetic polymers with silicon atoms and oxygen atoms as the main chain. It is waterproof and anticorrosive, strong in weather resistance, mildew proof, breathable, light, and has a long service life, high strength and resistance. It has strong acid-base tensile strength, dustproof, good flexibility, anti-aging, environmental protection, and non-toxic characteristics.
2. How to choose high-quality tarpaulin
When choosing tarpaulin, especially freight tarpaulin, we must consider its tensile strength, tear resistance, waterproof and shading, wear resistance, durability, flame retardancy and fire prevention. The specific method is as follows:
1. Tensile strength and tear resistance: The tarp has to withstand various tensions during use. For example, the tarp needs to be stretched tightly when it is fixed, and it is also vulnerable to wind, rain, snow and other weather during use. It is required that the tarpaulin must have high tensile and tear strength, 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 in turn requires the tarp to have good waterproof and shading properties to provide a good storage environment for the goods.
3. Abrasion resistance and durability: The tarpaulin is exposed to the outdoors for a long time, and it is exposed to wind and rain, so its abrasion resistance must be strong.
4. Flame-retardant and fire-resistant: The biggest function of tarpaulin is to protect the goods from damage, thereby reducing the loss during transportation. Therefore, the flame-retardant and fire-retardant performance of the tarpaulin cannot be less, so as to ensure the safety of the goods, we can choose to use Tarpaulin made of flame-retardant fiber or added with flame-retardant coating.
In short, the choice of truck tarpaulin is very important as the protector of goods during transportation.
