Characteristics of PVC Fabrics
- PVC fabric is used to make automobile components as well as in military commercials.
- PVC production requires less energy compared to other industrial fabric types. This is why PVC Vinyl fabrics are cost-effective.
- In terms of its structure, PVC contains halogens such as fluorine and chlorine, which give it a stable and amorphous structure. For the same reason, PVC is resistant to stressors such as flame, oil, and explosive chemicals.
Qualities of PVC Vinyl Fabrics
PVC Vinyl is known for its physical structure rather than its chemical composition.
- Resistive To Flames: PVC Fabrics are highly resistant to flames as they have a high ignition temperature of 455 degrees.
- Resistive To inflammable Chemicals and Oils: PVC Fabrics are hard to dissolve in most organic solvents.
- Chemically Stable: – PVC has a stable chemical composition with zero change in molecular structure.
- Mouldable And Processable: As PVC fabrics are pure polyester, giving them the desired shape is easy. The solid exterior surfaces bind the shape for a long time.
- Transportation: Automobiles tarps/covers/sidewalls.
- Construction: Tarps, oil booms, commercial sewing.
- Amusement/recreation: Tents/awnings, inflatables, pool covers, boat/pontoon/ATV covers.
- Athletics: Athletic mats, gym units, and yoga mats. Doors and loading docks.
- Food service and restaurants: Patio enclosures, equipment covers.
