PVC Laminated Fabrics Suppliers

Application of PVC laminated fabrics in outdoor products: waterproof, wear-resistant and lightweight design

1. Industry background and demand

Outdoor products (such as tents, backpacks, awnings, waterproof clothing, etc.) have extremely high requirements for material performance, and must have waterproof, wear-resistant, UV-resistant, lightweight and other characteristics. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) laminated fabrics are ideal for the outdoor industry by combining PVC coating or film with base fabric (such as polyester, nylon) to form high-performance composite materials.

2. Core performance advantages

Excellent waterproofness
The PVC laminated structure can completely block moisture, and the waterproof performance is more than 10,000 mm water column (far exceeding ordinary PU coating).
The seams can be sealed by heat sealing or adhesive strips to avoid water seepage (suitable for tents, raincoats, etc.).

High strength wear resistance
PVC coating can effectively protect the base fabric and improve tear resistance and wear resistance (such as backpacks, outdoor shoes).
The service life can be further extended by reinforcing the fiber base fabric (such as high denier nylon).

Lightweight design
Compared with traditional rubber coating, PVC laminated fabric is lighter and thinner, suitable for portable equipment (such as ultra-light tents, folding chairs).
Weight can be optimized by thinning the coating + high-strength base fabric (such as 500D nylon + PVC film combination).

Weather resistance and UV resistance
PVC with added UV stabilizer can resist long-term sunlight and prevent aging and discoloration (suitable for awnings and outdoor advertising cloth).
Still flexible in low temperature environment (no brittle cracking at -20℃).

3. Typical application cases

Tents & awnings: fully waterproof, wind and sand resistant, heat sealing process at the seams to improve sealing.
Outdoor backpacks & luggage covers: wear-resistant surface + lightweight design, adapt to harsh environments.
Waterproof clothing & rain gear: PVC laminated fabric replaces traditional rubber raincoats, which is lighter and more breathable.
Camping mats & folding furniture: easy to clean, moisture-proof, suitable for use in humid environments.
