PVC fabric is a strong and synthetic fabric that has a full polyester smooth polyvinyl chloride coating. Also known as vinyl clothing, these fabrics are versatile, flexible, water-resistant, durable, and preferred by most manufacturers.

PVC is a plastic and an exceptionally durable and long lasting one. Plastics such as PVC are affordable and widely used for applications which require durable, long lasting, waterproof, and weather resistant materials. The fabric is incredibly durable, so it can withstand a little wear and tear. However, as strong as the material is, it’s still prone to cracking.

The PVC coating makes the material waterproof and resistant to dirt, mildew, oil, salt, chemicals and UV rays and gives the material added strength and durability.

PVC vinyl fabrics are synthetic technical fabrics engineered for use across a broad variety of applications including sports clothing and equipment, awnings, space vehicles, fire protective clothing, automotive components, and military and commercial tents.

PVC fabric is durable and designed to last a long time – up to 30 years. PVC fabric is thicker than PE fabric, weighing between 20-28 ounces per square foot.
