PVC CANVAS is a material commonly used as a coating in the production of canvas tarpaulin with nylon or polyester as the base cloth.

PVC coated canvas tarpaulin was used as a highly popular and commonly-used waterproof canvas fabric in the fabrication of canvas covers, canvas bag, trolley covers, canvas tote bags, canvas sheets and awnings as PVC coated canvas tarpaulin has a variety of favourable properties which supports these applications.

PVC fibers have high chemical and water resistance, do not burn well . At low elongations PVC fibers recover completely from deformation. PVC fibers are soft and exhibit good recovery from bending deformation. The fiber has moderate density, with a specifc gravity of 1.33- 1.40. PVC is extremely hydrophobic, have a moisture regain of 0.0% - 0.1% under standard conditions. It's fiber is a poor heat and electrical conductor and possesses potential in insulation applications.

PVC fiber is chemically inert and possesses chemical properties similar to polyolefin fiber. PVC coated canvas tarpaulin is only attacked very slowly by ultraviolet rays in sunlight compared to other materials. PVC fiber melts with decomposition at 135 degree celsius to 180 degree celsius.

PVC coated canvas tarpaulin finds its major use in industrial fabrics including filters, tarpaulins and awnings, in protective clothing, and in upholstery for outdoor furnishings.

PVC coated canvas tarpaulin are unaffected by moisture, some  chemically stable, resistant to moths and biological attack, poor conductors of electricity.

PVC also used extensively in industrial applications such as bonding agents for non-woven products, since they have high resistance to chemicals.
