Description
PVC tarpaulin, as the name suggests, is a composite material composed of three layers: the upper and lower layers are PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coatings, and the middle layer is a dacron base fabric. Through a special process (such as knife coating or paste), the PVC is firmly impregnated and adhered to both sides of the tarpaulin, forming a strong and flexible composite material. It is specially designed for the size and purpose of the pickup truck's cargo box and is usually used in conjunction with a bracket to form a lightweight and waterproof cargo box cover.

Feature
- Outstanding waterproof and rainproof performance: The dense PVC coating forms a completely impermeable barrier, preventing rain and snow from seeping through and effectively protecting the goods in the rear cargo box from getting wet.
- High strength and tear-resistant: The dacron base fabric in the middle provides extremely high tensile strength and tear-resistant. Even if hooked by sharp objects or subjected to significant tension, it is not easily torn, and the damage is unlikely to spread.
- Lightweight, soft, and easy to store: Compared to pure PVC thickened fabric or canvas, the tarpaulin is lighter and more flexible. This makes it easy to roll up or fold, allowing you to quickly access items in the rear cargo box.
- Excellent durability and long service life: It has strong weather resistance and can resist ultraviolet radiation and is not prone to aging or becoming brittle after long-term exposure to sunlight. With well cold and heat resistance, it remains flexible in cold winters and can withstand high temperatures in summers.
- Good breathability (compared to other PVC fabrics): Due to the mesh base fabric, although the surface PVC coating makes it waterproof, it still has a slight breathability.
- Attractive appearance and diverse colors: Common colors include black, gray, blue, etc. The appearance is neat and can be well matched with the body of the pickup truck, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the vehicle.

Application
PVC tarpaulin is almost tailor-made for the pickup truck bed. Its main applications include:
- Pickup truck tonneau covers
This is the core application. It is fixed on the truck through snap fasteners, Velcro, or slide rails, forming a closed storage space to protect the goods from theft, rain, dust, and sun exposure.
- Pickup truck bow-shaped frame covers
Used in conjunction with metal bow-shaped frames, it creates a semi-circular frame on the truck, and then the PVC tarpaulin is covered and fixed on it. This method provides a larger internal space and can carry goods of higher volume.
Due to its lightness and protective properties, it can also be used to temporarily cover parked vehicles or as a tarpaulin for large goods, with very flexible uses.
