Many people don’t know the difference between PE tarpaulin and PVC coated tarpaulin. Literally speaking, PE and PVC must be different. The following essentially explains the difference between these two tarpaulins. PE: The chemical name is polyethylene, which is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, which is used to make PE tarpaulins. So what are the characteristics of PE? We learned that polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, has excellent low temperature resistance, good water absorption, good electrical insulation, and can be used normally at -70 to -100 degrees Celsius , Chemically stable. The production of PE tarpaulin generally uses HDPE (high-density polyethylene). This material has a higher temperature, hardness, mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Polyethylene is suitable for hollow blow molding, injection molding and extrusion of various products (hard), such as various containers, nets, and straps, and can be used as cable coatings, pipes, profiles, sheets, etc.
