Unitarp-PVC Tarpaulin

What is PVC Tarpaulin?

According to PVC Industry Association, PVC tarpaulin is a strong, waterproof material with tensile strength of 1800-2200N/5cm (per ISO 13934-1). Perfect for Zimbabwe’s construction (32% of market) and agriculture (28% share) sectors, it offers 99% UV protection and withstands wind speeds up to 100km/h – crucial for Zimbabwe’s storm seasons.

What’s the Difference Between Vinyl and PVC Tarpaulin?

Per Materials Science research, while both contain PVC, vinyl tarps have 30-40% plasticizer content making them softer (Shore A 70-80) but less durable (2-3 year lifespan). Our Zimbabwe-spec PVC tarps contain only 15-20% plasticizers, achieving Shore A 85-90 hardness and 8-12 year lifespan – ideal for mining and transport applications.
