Product Features

  • Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
  • BlockoutOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Restricts light passing through the fabric for roof, curtain or cover panels that need an opaque finish and greater control of the light behind the surface.

An Embossed PVC Face

The leather effect is formed at the PVC surface, with polyester yarns enclosed beneath it. DLT-5703 therefore combines a patterned face with textile reinforcement rather than using leather as its structural component. A sample helps establish the pattern scale and handling. Where the surface meets a welded overlap or an attachment strip, evaluate the actual joint because its performance depends on the selected finish and fabrication method.

Bending a Coated Composite

A roll tarp bends both the PVC faces and their bond to the polyester core. DLT-5703 has a listed adhesion of 85N/5cm, which addresses a different property from the 2700/2400N/5cm tensile figures. Review those results together with a representative rolled and seamed sample. Roller diameter, edge details and repeated movement require assessment on the finished assembly; they cannot be derived from 0.55mm thickness alone.

Application requirements — Truck Covers

Specify the finished cover dimensions, fixing arrangement, folding or rolling pattern and operating environment. Review tensile and tear properties, coating adhesion, abrasion at contact areas and the strength of seams and reinforced edges. State the required surface finish, flexibility and weathering conditions, and assess a sample in the proposed assembled construction.

Finished Flatbed-Tarp Configurations

The following dimensions describe a flatbed lumber tarp. Side curtains and roll-over roofs use their own body and hardware drawings.

Flat Size Example24 × 27 ft (approximately 7.32 × 8.23 m)
Side Drop Example8 ft (approximately 2.44 m)
End Flap Example8 × 8 ft (approximately 2.44 × 2.44 m)
Panel SeamsHeat-sealed body seams
Edge ConstructionDouble-stitched hems reinforced with 2 in (approximately 51 mm) webbing
Eyelet Spacing Example2 ft (approximately 610 mm) around the specified edges
Tie-Down ArrangementThree D-ring rows with protective flaps in this configuration

Construction Details

Reinforced Hem

The webbing runs within the hem to support the eyelets and stitched edge. Confirm corner and end-flap reinforcement on the finished drawing.

Protected D-Ring Attachment

D-rings are attached through reinforced areas, with flaps separating hooks from the tarp face. Choose ring positions to suit the load height and tie-down route.

When requesting PVC coated tarpaulin rolls, include roller dimensions, panel sizes and the required embossed finish so the material and seam can be sampled.

PVC Coated Tarpaulin With an Embossed Surface

An embossed leather pattern is the listed surface of DLT-5703. Beneath that finish, the material has PVC on both sides of a 1000×1000D polyester base fabric in a 20×20 construction. It is specified at 680gsm and 0.55mm. The pattern describes the appearance of the coating; it does not change the identity of the woven reinforcement inside.

The specified manufacturing method is knife coating. PVC paste is metered onto the textile with a blade and heated until the coating forms a continuous face. Surface patterning and reinforcement perform different jobs: one controls the visible finish, while the textile supports the sheet under tension. The adhesion between them matters when the material is repeatedly bent or rolled.

DLT-5703 lists 2700/2400N/5cm tensile strength, 280/220N/5cm tear strength and 85N/5cm adhesion. These values describe different loading conditions. A heavier coating does not automatically produce a stronger base fabric, and thickness cannot stand in for a tear result. Keep the named test method with each value when comparing another material.

Widths of 1.05m to 3.2m and 50m or 100m roll lengths allow panel cutting to be planned before conversion. An extra blockout layer is available as an option. For roll tarps, review how the actual embossed surface behaves at seams and how the panel bends around its roller. Edge reinforcement, retention and operating geometry belong to the completed tarp design.
