Product Features

  • AntistaticHelps manage electrostatic charge build-up in the fabric, giving manufacturers a material option for assemblies with specified static-control requirements.
  • Flame retardantA flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
  • UV resistantUV-resistant treatment addresses sunlight exposure in outdoor fabric panels, making weathering requirements part of the material choice from the start.

The Total 0.8mm Film Gauge

The thickness of DLT-7008 refers to the complete clear sheet. Its calendering and lamination description should not be read as a woven reinforcement specification. Ask for a sample of the intended film configuration and compare its hand over the smallest bend in the cab panel. Keep the selected finish and material reference with the pattern so a replacement roll can be checked before conversion.

Lamination And The Fabricated Edge

DLT-7008 includes lamination in its stated production route. A finished enclosure adds another interface where clear film meets an edge strip or fabric. Inspect that joint using the actual planned materials and closure detail. The clear field can also be affected by how the edge is tensioned, so include a fitted panel review after the flat seam sample has been assessed.

Application requirements — Clear Tent Windows

Specify window or panel dimensions, thickness, viewing requirements, framing and the normal folding or rolling pattern. Review optical appearance, flexibility, surface marking and the edge or seam construction. Confirm the temperature range, cleaning method and any specified fire behaviour on the selected grade.

Finished Clear-Panel Specifications

Measure clear enclosure panels on the supporting frame. The panel outline, fixing edges and opening arrangement determine the cutting pattern.

Construction Details

Border And Attachment

The facing carries the zipper or fasteners around the transparent area. Match its outline to the frame before cutting the clear panel.

Roll-Up Section

A zippered opening can roll up and be secured with straps. Protect zipper edges with flaps where the chosen design requires them.

Soft Clear PVC Sheet: Film Build And Handling

DLT-7008 is soft clear PVC sheet listed at 0.8mm thick, with calendering and lamination in its manufacturing description. Water quench is also identified. The product data describe a film construction and do not list a woven textile core. Its clear field should be assessed as flexible PVC sheet, with the fabricated edges considered separately from the material supplied on the roll.

Calendering forms compound into film using rolls, while lamination combines formed layers. For this model, the overall thickness is stated but the individual layer arrangement is not. The selected construction should therefore be represented by a production sample. If layer details are important to the converter's joining process, they should be confirmed directly rather than extrapolated from another product in the clear film family.

The listed width reaches 2.8m, and the 20-60PHR range concerns the formulation ratio of plasticizer to resin. Review the required hand together with clarity and gauge tolerance. For a soft cab enclosure panel, the geometry may place a clear sheet under tension in one area and require it to bend around a closure in another. Assess both conditions in the sample assembly, including how the panel will be stored when removed.

Use the intended edge strip, zip and adjoining fabric in a representative fabrication trial. Inspect the clear area after joining and review the panel in its fitted shape. Exposure options such as UV or cold performance need to be identified for the supplied configuration. The listed process and thickness do not establish a finished enclosure rating.
