PVC Coated Tarpaulin Banner
A durable, water-resistant fabric banner material with PVC coating, designed for long-term outdoor and heavy-duty industrial applications.
Product Overview
PVC Coated Tarpaulin Banner is a synthetic fabric substrate uniformly coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) on both sides. This manufacturing process creates a material characterized by high tensile strength, tear resistance, and complete waterproofing. It serves as a reliable solution for large-format printing and physical protection in demanding environments.
The material's structure provides dimensional stability under varying weather conditions, resisting shrinkage, stretching, and rotting. It is commonly supplied in roll form with options for different weights and treatments to meet specific project requirements, from temporary event signage to permanent industrial covers.

Product Benefits
PVC Coated Tarpaulin Banner offers functional properties that address common challenges in outdoor and industrial material usage.
Complete Waterproof Barrier
The continuous PVC coating forms an impermeable layer, preventing water ingress and protecting contents or printed graphics from moisture damage.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Reinforced fabric base provides substantial tear and tensile strength while maintaining relative flexibility for handling and installation.
Long-term Weather Stability
UV-stabilized compounds within the coating reduce degradation from sunlight, maintaining material integrity and color over extended outdoor exposure.
Product Features
Specific structural and compositional attributes define the performance profile of PVC Coated Tarpaulin Banner.
- Reinforced Fabric Core: High-density polyester or fiberglass mesh provides dimensional stability and rip-stop functionality.
- Plastisol Coating: PVC paste is applied and gelled, creating a seamless, flexible film bonded to the fabric.
- Welded Seam Capability: Material can be joined via high-frequency welding, creating strong, waterproof seams for tarpaulin manufacturing.
- Print-Ready Surface: Consistent coating accepts solvent, eco-solvent, and UV-curable inks without significant absorption or bleeding.
- Chemical Treatment Options: Can be treated for flame retardancy, anti-fungal properties, or anti-static performance.
- Flexibility Retention: Remains pliable across a wide temperature range, reducing brittleness in cold conditions.
- Edge Seal Integrity: Coating encapsulates fabric strands at cut edges, minimizing fraying and unraveling.
- Low Shrinkage: Manufacturing under tension control ensures minimal dimensional change post-production.

Handling & Installation Guidelines
Fabrication & Cutting
Use heavy-duty scissors or electric knives. For welded seams, ensure cutting margins are clean and straight. Allow material to acclimate to installation temperature.
Printing Considerations
Surface may require pretreatment for optimal ink adhesion. Use inks formulated for flexible PVC substrates. Allow full cure time before rolling or folding.
Installation & Tensioning
Avoid over-tensioning during installation, which can stress seams. Distribute tension evenly across grommets or attachment points. Use webbing straps for heavy covers.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Clean with mild soap solution and soft brush. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers close to the surface. Inspect seams and fittings regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions regarding the properties, use, and handling of PVC Coated Tarpaulin Banner.
The PVC coating provides a continuous, non-porous barrier, making the material waterproof under normal conditions. Seams created by welding also maintain this waterproof integrity. Stitched seams require sealing tape to achieve full waterproofing.
It is compatible with solvent-based, eco-solvent, UV-curable, and latex inkjet printing. Screen printing is also applicable. A primer or specific ink formulation for flexible PVC substrates may be recommended for certain processes to ensure adhesion.
Store rolls upright in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources above 40°C (104°F), and contact with chemicals. Keep in original packaging until use to prevent dust accumulation and unnecessary folds.
Yes, small tears can be repaired using PVC repair tape (a self-adhesive patch of similar material) applied to a clean, dry surface. For larger damage, sections can be replaced via high-frequency welding by a professional fabricator.
PVC-coated materials pose challenges for standard recycling streams. Some specialized facilities can process them. The long service life reduces waste frequency. Manufacturers may offer take-back programs or produce variants with phthalate-free or more easily separable material compositions.
