Characteristics and common application fields of flame retardant tarpaulin

Flame retardant tarpaulin is an important category of our company's tarpaulin products. Due to its good flame retardancy and high tear strength, this tarpaulin is becoming more and more popular in the market. The analysis is mainly due to the use environment of the tarpaulin.

Oilcloths are often used as covers and covers for warehouse cargo. Whether the tarpaulin has the function of fire and flame retardant determines the safety of the goods on fire. If the tarpaulin has no flame retardant function, it cannot protect the goods, and the owner will suffer heavy losses. In addition, tarpaulins are also used in various outdoor scenes and venues. In many cases, tarps require prolonged exposure to high temperatures. From a safety point of view, the tarpaulin should have good flame retardancy. Flame retardant properties can be obtained by selecting flame retardant fibers and base fabrics, or adding flame retardants to coatings. The amount of flame retardant is directly related to the flame retardant effect.

The flame retardant tarpaulin has a certain tear strength, and the damage of the tarpaulin is mainly caused by tearing, so the tear strength is an important indicator of the tarpaulin. Tear strength is related to whether the tarpaulin will break due to the action of foreign objects, or for some reason, the tarpaulin will expand around after forming holes, forming large structural cracks. Therefore, when the tension is high, both the tensile strength and tear strength should be high.
Common scenarios of flame retardant tarpaulin:

1. Cargo tarpaulin can be used for cars, trains and ships;

2. Open-air warehouses that can cover stations, wharves, seaports, and airports;

3. It can be used to build temporary granaries to cover various crops in the open air;

4. It can be used as construction site, power construction site and other construction sites to build temporary sheds and temporary warehouse materials;

5. The tarpaulin can be processed into the outer sheath of camping tents and various machinery and equipment
