Tarpaulin, also known as a tarpaulin, is a high-strength, waterproof material with a good degree of toughness and softness. It is often used as a canvas (tarpaulin), polyester with a polyurethane coating or made into a polyethylene-based plastic. Tarpaulins usually have strong grommets at the corners or edges to make it easier to use for threading ropes for tying, hanging or covering.

There are many classifications of tarps, such as coarse and fine tarps. Their advantages include folding resistance, waterproofing, fireproofing and radiation protection. However, the tarpaulins available on the market have serious friction during use as the inner surface is in direct contact with the goods, which is prone to wear and tear, and have poor tensile strength, which makes them prone to tearing and have a shorter service life after prolonged use. In addition, the tarpaulin used in outdoor environment for a long time, will appear aging situation, waterproof effect becomes worse.

In order to solve these problems, some new technologies are applied to the production of tarpaulins. For example, by setting the tarpaulin to consist of a first plastic woven fabric, a second plastic woven fabric, a plastic film, an abrasion-resistant layer, a flame-retardant layer, a sun-protection layer, and a waterproof layer together, the comprehensive performance of the tarpaulin is further improved, which is conducive to improving the service life of the tarpaulin and reducing the number of replacements, so as to achieve the purpose of saving costs.

In addition, tarpaulin has a wide range of applications in many fields. It can be used to build temporary grain silos and open-air coverings for various crops, and it can also be used as a material for building temporary cargo sheds and temporary warehouses at construction sites, electric power construction sites and other sites. At the same time, tarpaulin also has important applications in the freight transport of automobiles, trains, ships and cargo ships.

Overall, tarpaulin is a very practical waterproof material with a wide range of applications, but it also needs to pay attention to care and maintenance in the process of use in order to extend its service life.
