The type of transparent waterproof tarpaulin varies with material, thickness and weight. Since there are many options, choosing the right option can be a bit confusing. Two popular materials are vinyl and polyethylene. But-how do you know which one is right for you? Let's look at the difference between the two.
Vinyl tarpaulin and polyethylene tarpaulin look very similar, but they are made of very different fabrics. Vinyl is a strong, versatile synthetic fiber derived from ethylene and salt. Vinyl tarps can come in many sizes and colors. Polyethylene (or polyethylene) is a common plastic material. The easily recognizable polyethylene waterproof cloth is usually blue, but many colors and patterns can also be used.
The quality of vinyl tarpaulin is much higher than that of polyethylene tarpaulin. They are manufactured to withstand harsh outdoor environments, so they have industrial strength. This provides a high level of protection against external elements such as water, oil, grease, acid and mold. Certain vinyl tarps can also be flame retardants, have built-in UV protection, and will not tear or tear.
Polyethylene tarpaulin provides good protection. They are also waterproof. Compared with vinyl tarpaulins, these tarpaulins have poorer overall quality, but they can also be provided in various qualities according to the end use. Generally, blue coalesced tarps are used for light temporary use, and the quality is much worse than other tarps. Poly tarps can also be coated with UV protection materials to provide additional protection when needed. However, if your end use does not require high strength, then lightweight polyethylene tarpaulin will not be a problem, so it can provide a very suitable and affordable solution.
