Tarpaulins are thick fabric sheets made from materials like cotton, polyester, nylon, PVC, PE or PP. They are used in various industrial applications as protective covers. Common applications include uses in agriculture, construction, sports, defense and more. Tarpaulins are finished and coated to make them water resistant, UV resistant and durable for outdoor use. Popular types include cotton/polyester blends and polyester films laminated with PE or PP.

4. FEATURES THICK CANVAS FABRIC SHEET OF COTTON, COTTON/PET, SYNTHETIC FIBRE FABRIC PET, NYLON, PVC, PE, PP TARPS OFTEN HAVE REINFORCED EYELETS AT THE CORNERS AND ALONG THE SIDES TO FORM ATTACHMENT POINTS FOR ROPE , A LLOWING THEM TO BE TIED DOWN OR SUSPENDED.
5. WATER RESISTANT, FIRE PROOF, ROT RESISTANT UV PROTECTION A) DESIRABLE PROPERTIES ACHIEVED BY SUITABLE COATING: PVC, OTHER HYDROPHOBIC RESINS LIKE PE, PP ETC. ON SYNTHITIC FIBRE FABRICS B) FINISH APPLICATION USUALLY PAD-DRY-CURE TECHNIQUE MAIN APPLICATION FOR COTTON AND COTTON/PET BLENDED TARPAULINS.
6. CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNICAL TEXTILE the range of technical textiles is very large. In the present article it is proposed to discuss a few aspects of the technical textiles or the industrial fabrics falling in the category of tarpaulins.
