What is PVC coated fabric?
PVC, which stands for Polyvinyl Chloride, is a heavy-duty texture often used for flexible fabric structures. It is composed of adhesive agents, polyester scrims and an exterior PVC coating.
PVC is constructed with two substances: chlorine, which is derived from sea salt, and ethylene, a compound that comes from crude oil. Both of these elements are mixed together to produce ethylene dichloride, which is then exposed to a high level of heating and polymerization to generate the powder known as “polyvinyl chloride resin.”

The benefits of PVC coated fabric?
Users of PVC fabric enjoy the advantage of having a heavier, dense, and robust fabric. Overall, all of our PVC fabric consists of a polyester middle layer, covered with polyvinyl chloride resin coating on both sides, then finished with a top laquer coating, making it not only easy to clean, but extremely durable and rigid.
PVC texture is a cost-effective option compared with the traditional roofing system. When manufactured in bright white colour, this robust fabric membrane reduces radiant heat gain, keeping interior temperatures cooler during warmer weather conditions.
