TOP coated tarpaulin refers to a type of tarpaulin material with an extra layer of coating applied to enhance its durability, performance, and resistance to environmental factors. This top coating is usually added to materials like PVC or polyester fabric and provides the following benefits:

Key Features of TOP Coated Tarpaulin:

1. Increased Durability: The top coating makes the tarpaulin more resistant to wear and tear, UV radiation, and environmental exposure.
2. Waterproofing: The extra coating enhances its waterproofing properties, ensuring it remains leak-proof in heavy rain and wet conditions.
3. UV Resistance: UV-stabilized coatings extend the tarpaulin's life by preventing degradation from sunlight.
4. Anti-fungal & Anti-mildew: The surface prevents mold and mildew from forming, which is especially beneficial in humid conditions.
5. Improved Aesthetic Finish: The coating gives the tarpaulin a smooth, shiny, and clean finish, making it more visually appealing.
6. Easy to Clean: The surface becomes less porous, making it easier to clean off dust, dirt, or other debris.

Applications:

• Truck Covers: To protect goods from sun, rain, and dust during transportation.
• Tent and Shelter Construction: Offers a reliable and durable solution for outdoor events or temporary shelters.
• Industrial Covers: Used in various industries to cover machinery, raw materials, or construction sites.
• Advertising Banners: Due to its smooth surface, it’s often used for printing high-quality graphics for billboards and banners.
• 
  

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Rinse off dust, dirt, and grime with water and mild detergent.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Strong chemicals might damage the coating and reduce the material's lifespan.
• Storage: Store in a dry and cool place to avoid moisture buildup and prevent fungal growth.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) fabric is widely used in roofing membranes, tarpaulins, and various outdoor applications due to its durability and weather resistance. The weight per square meter, also known as the GSM (grams per square meter), varies depending on the intended application and performance requirements. Here are the common ranges:

Common GSM Range for TPO Fabric:

• Lightweight: 200-300 g/m²
  Suitable for applications that require flexibility and lightness, such as small tarpaulins or lightweight waterproof membranes.

• Midweight: 300-600 g/m²
  This is the most common range for TPO materials, used for medium-duty applications like building waterproofing membranes, truck tarpaulins, and outdoor advertising banners.

• Heavyweight: 600-1000 g/m² and above
  Higher GSM TPO fabric is used in heavy-duty applications where extreme durability and tear resistance are required, such as industrial roofing, protective covers for heavy equipment, or large outdoor structures.

The choice of GSM depends on the specific application and performance needs. Higher GSM typically means better durability and tear resistance, though it may reduce flexibility and ease of handling.
