Product Features

  • AntistaticOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Helps manage electrostatic charge build-up in the fabric, giving manufacturers a material option for assemblies with specified static-control requirements.
  • Abrasion resistantAn abrasion-resistant construction helps address rubbing and handling wear where the fabricated surface is exposed to repeated contact.
  • 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.
  • UV resistantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. UV-resistant treatment addresses sunlight exposure in outdoor fabric panels, making weathering requirements part of the material choice from the start.
  • Mildew resistantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A mildew-resistant formulation helps address surface growth in damp or humid service conditions and during storage between uses.

Polyester Reinforcement and PVC Coating

DLT-5714 uses a 1000×1000D polyester base fabric in the specified 30×30 Panama weave. The denier figure describes yarn size; the weave describes how the yarns are arranged. This textile core reinforces the sheet in both fabric directions. Flexible PVC covers both faces, so the exposed surface is the coating rather than bare yarn. Coating adhesion matters alongside tensile and tear strength because it describes the bond between these components.

Knife Coating and Surface Finish

In knife coating, PVC paste is applied to the base fabric and metered with a blade to control the coating build. The coated web is heated to gel and fuse the PVC, then cooled before winding. DLT-5714 is specified with a glossy or matte surface; acrylic lacquer is an optional finish. The selected surface treatment should be included when evaluating printing or welded seams. Coating formulation and finish affect processing, so trials should use the actual material configuration.

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 Truck Side-Curtain Specifications

Side curtains are made to the vehicle body. The pole, track and buckle locations determine the finished panel dimensions.

Construction Details

Roller-To-Buckle Reinforcement

Vertical reinforcement provides attachment locations for the upper runners and lower buckles. Check alignment before welding the bands.

Pole And Tensioning Ends

The end details must fit the vehicle's poles and tensioners. Record the actual hardware and closure allowances when measuring a replacement curtain.

PVC Tarpaulin Sheet: Material and Construction

DLT-5714 is a reinforced PVC tarpaulin sheet made by knife coating a woven polyester base on both sides. Polyester forms the textile core, while flexible PVC forms the outer surfaces. The base fabric provides reinforcement under tension; the coating covers the yarn structure and creates the continuous surface used for fabrication. Both components contribute to how the finished sheet handles, folds and performs.

The specified construction is 1000×1000D polyester in a 30×30 Panama weave, with a finished weight of 900gsm (26oz) and a thickness of 0.75mm. Weight measures the mass of the whole composite per unit area, including the base fabric and coating. Thickness measures its overall cross-section. Neither value alone describes strength: the yarn construction, coating bond and the separate tensile and tear results also need to be considered.

Glossy and matte finishes are available, with acrylic lacquer listed as an option. Gloss changes reflected light and appearance; it does not replace a mechanical specification. Other options, including anti-UV, anti-mildew, antistatic and blockout configurations, should be specified with the order rather than assumed to be present in every roll.

The material is supplied in widths of 1.05–5.1m and listed roll lengths of 50m or 100m for conversion into truck side curtain panels. The selected finish and formulation should be used in seam and printing trials. Reinforcement, seams and vehicle fittings remain part of the finished curtain design; any load-restraint requirement applies to the assembled curtain system.
