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.

What Knife Coating Describes

The technology entry for DLT-5701 explicitly states knife coated. A metering blade controls the applied PVC formulation, followed by heating to form the coating around the reinforcing base. The specification does not state temperatures, pass counts or the exact production-line arrangement. Its 610gsm finished mass includes coating and textile together, so it should be read alongside the base construction, adhesion and other material tests.

Coated Sheet to Truck Cover Panel

A truck cover introduces seams, reinforced edges and fasteners to the DLT-5701 sheet. Review those details using the selected glossy or matte construction and any requested blockout layer. Available width and roll length help the fabricator plan panels, while the truck shape and securing method determine the finished assembly. Cover loads and cargo restraint require their own design; they cannot be assigned from the roll material’s strength values 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.

Finished-Product Configuration Examples
SpecificationConfiguration
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
Fit And RestraintSet the cover around the actual load dimensions; cargo restraint is specified separately

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.

Knife Coated Tarpaulin: PVC Applied to a Polyester Base

DLT-5701 is knife coated tarpaulin listed at 610gsm. Its structure is PVC coating on both sides of a polyester base, with a specified 1000×1300, 20×18 base construction. The coating is part of the reinforced sheet itself, rather than a finished truck cover. Panel seams, edges and securing hardware are added by the fabricator.

In knife coating, a blade meters a PVC coating formulation onto a supported substrate; subsequent heating gels and fuses the PVC into a coherent layer. This explains the stated process without assuming a particular line arrangement, temperature or number of coating passes for DLT-5701. The textile base supplies the reinforcing framework, while coating distribution and its bond to the textile are also relevant to the finished sheet.

The material is listed with glossy or matte surfaces, custom colour and an optional extra blockout layer. The specified width range is 1.05m to 3.2m, with 50m or 100m rolls listed. Select the actual construction before reviewing samples, especially where appearance or joining is important. Listed tensile, tear and adhesion values concern different material behaviours and should remain separate from finished-cover performance.

For truck cover panels, develop the cutting pattern around the truck geometry and securing arrangement. A representative seam and reinforced edge can show how the chosen material works with the intended fabrication method. The roll fabric does not establish cargo-restraint capability or the strength of the complete cover. Any specified fire classification needs evidence for the ordered version rather than being inferred from the available options.
