A 100% Blackout PVC Tarpaulin is a heavy-duty, light-blocking fabric designed to completely prevent light penetration, making it ideal for applications requiring total darkness, UV protection, and privacy. It is widely used in truck covers, event tents, photography studios, greenhouses, and military applications.

Features

Material & Construction

Base Fabric: High-density polyester scrim (500D–1000D) for maximum tear resistance.

PVC Coating: Double-layered with carbon black or acrylic additives for 100% light blockage.

Reinforcements:

* Double-stitched seams with polyester webbing.

* Brass or stainless steel grommets (every 0.5m–1m).

Thickness: 0.35mm–1.2mm (standard: 0.5mm–0.8mm).

Durability & Weather Resistance

Waterproof – 100% watertight (≥ 5000mm hydrostatic pressure).

Mildew & Rot Proof – Treated with anti-fungal coatings.

Fire Retardant – Optional DIN 4102-B1, NFPA 701 certification.

Temperature Range: -30°C to +70°C (remains flexible in cold weather).

Light & UV Blocking Performance

100% Light Blockage – Zero light penetration (ideal for darkrooms, sleep pods).

UV Resistance – Blocks 99.9% of UV rays (UPF 50+).

Heat Insulation – Reduces solar heat absorption by up to 70%.

Customization Options

Colors: Black (standard), also available in white/black dual-layer for reflectivity.

Sizes: Custom widths (up to 5m) and lengths (continuous rolls or pre-cut panels).

Accessories:

* Velcro flaps, zippered doors, or magnetic closures.

* Reinforced tie-down straps for high-wind conditions.
