is a high-performance technical textile made by applying a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating onto a reinforcement substrate—most commonly polyester scrim—to create a strong, waterproof, and weldable material for outdoor and industrial applications. Also known as PVC coated polyester fabric, PVC coated vinyl fabric, or PVC tarpaulin material, it offers excellent weather resistance, tear strength, and long service life.
At Honsdar, we not only manufacture PVC coated polyester fabric, but also produce PVC coated fiberglass fabric (PVC coated glass fiber cloth) for applications requiring enhanced heat resistance, dimensional stability, fire blankets
stable quality, consistent coating weight, and reliable bonding strength.
Typical production flow:
-
Polyester base fabric selection Choose suitable yarn/denier, weave construction, and tensile targets (warp/weft).
-
PVC formulation & compounding PVC resin + plasticizer + stabilizers + pigments + functional additives (UV, FR, anti-mildew, anti-static, etc.).
-
coating process PVC paste is applied evenly to achieve target thickness and gsm coating weight.
-
Heat curing & gelation Controlled heating ensures coating uniformity and long-term adhesion.
-
Embossing / surface finishing Options like matte, glossy, semi-gloss, textured, anti-slip patterns.
-
Top lacquer (optional) Acrylic/PVDF-like top coatings for weather resistance, anti-soiling, UV stability, and improved service life.
-
Quality inspection & testing Roll inspection + lab tests (tensile/tear, adhesion, waterproof, color, UV aging, flame retardancy if required).
-
Packing & export-ready logistics

outdoor durability and industrial reliability.

-
Building & construction (scaffold sheets, building wraps, site protection)
-
Warehousing & logistics

PVC Coated Fabric
-
PVC paste is applied and cured onto polyester base cloth (often multi-pass knife coating)
-
Typically offers better coating adhesion, longer outdoor durability, and more stable thickness control
-
PVC coated tarpaulins are strong and still maintain good flexibility, making them easy to carry, fold and install.
PVC Laminated Fabric
-
Bond two or eight layers of PVC film to the surface of the base fabric through heating and pressure to form a strong integrated composite material.
-
PVC laminated tarpaulin has good air tightness due to the lamination process
-
Can be suitable for short-term covers, budget products, or indoor & outdoor use depending on spec

can be recyclable, but recycling depends on:
-
Local recycling infrastructure for PVC composites
-
Whether the fabric is multi-material (PVC + polyester + additives + topcoat)
-
Contamination level (oil, chemicals, heavy dirt)
For sustainability projects, we can discuss:
-
Lower-impact formulations
-
Material identification and traceability
-
Common standards and documentation:
-
Flame retardant standards: EN 13501-1, DIN 4102-B1, NF P 92-503 (M2), NFPA 701 (as required by market)
-
REACH compliance (SVHC control) for EU markets
-
RoHS (often requested for certain product categories)
-
ISO 9001 quality management system (factory quality control)
-
Performance tests often requested: tensile strength, tear strength, adhesion, waterproofness, UV aging, colorfastness, cold crack
Note: Requirements vary by country and application. Honsdar can provide test reports and compliance documents based on your target market and specification
flame retardant PVC coated fabric for applications such as:
-
Event tents and public venues
-
Truck curtains (where FR is specified)
-
Industrial covers and safety environments
FR options can be produced to meet different regional flame retardant requirements

UV resistance through:
-
UV stabilizers in the PVC formulation
-
Light-fast pigments for color stability
-
Optional top lacquer that improves weathering and surface durability
If your application is long-term outdoor exposure (sun, heat, rain), we recommend specifying:
-
UV aging target (hours or months)
-
Colorfastness requirement
-
custom PVC coated fabric manufacturing for tarpaulins, tents, curtains, and industrial covers.
Customization options include:
-
Weight (GSM) and thickness
-
Base fabric construction (denier, weave, strength)
-
Color (custom RAL/Pantone-like matching as reference)
-
Surface finish: glossy / matte / embossed / anti-slip
-
Width and roll length
-
Additives: UV resistant, FR flame retardant, anti-mildew, anti-static, anti-cold crack, anti-oil
