We are pleased to announce that a new state-of-the-art PVC coating line has officially come online at our Xiamen production base.

The new line increases our total daily output and strengthens our ability to serve growing demand from markets across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It also allows us to offer shorter lead times for custom products and large-volume orders.

The equipment features advanced precision coating controls, delivering more consistent coating weight across the full width of the fabric — a direct benefit for customers who require strict quality tolerances in applications such as architectural membranes and premium banner fabrics.

This investment is part of our ongoing commitment to production excellence, quality consistency and reliable supply. As our capacity grows, so does our ability to support your projects — today and in the years ahead.

In construction, welding, event staging and offshore environments, the materials you bring on site can be a fire hazard — or a safety asset. That is why certified fire retardant (FR) tarpaulins matter.

What Does Fire Retardant Mean?

A fire retardant tarpaulin is treated or manufactured so that it will not easily catch fire, and if it does ignite, it self-extinguishes when the ignition source is removed. It is important to note that fire retardant does not mean fireproof — it means significantly reduced fire risk.

How FR Tarpaulins Are Tested

Independent laboratories test FR materials against recognized standards. Two of the most common are NFPA 701 (widely used in North America) and DIN 4102 B1 (common in Europe). Certified materials carry documentation that can be presented to site safety officers and regulators.

Where FR Tarpaulins Are Required

• Construction sites and scaffolding enclosures
• Welding and hot-work shielding
• Industrial partitions in buildings with strict fire codes
• Event and exhibition staging
• Marine and offshore applications

Quality You Can Trust

Kezhibo fire retardant tarpaulins are manufactured from FR PVC-coated polyester and tested to NFPA 701 and DIN 4102 B1 standards. When safety matters, insist on certified material — and the documentation to prove it.

Coated fabrics are everywhere — in truck covers, inflatable structures, roofing membranes and advertising banners. The three most common polymers used are PVC, TPU and TPO. Here is how they compare.

PVC — The Versatile Workhorse

PVC coated fabric offers the best balance of strength, weather resistance and cost. It is the default choice for tarpaulins, truck covers, banners and architectural membranes. Additives such as UV stabilizers and flame retardants allow PVC to be tailored to demanding applications.

TPU — The Eco-Friendly Performer

Thermoplastic polyurethane is halogen-free and plasticizer-free, making it fully recyclable and safe for sensitive uses. It remains flexible at very low temperatures and offers outstanding abrasion resistance. TPU is the material of choice for premium inflatables, water storage and medical applications — but at a higher cost than PVC.

TPO — The Weathering Specialist

Thermoplastic polyolefin combines rubber-like elasticity with the processability of thermoplastics. Its exceptional resistance to ozone, chemicals and weathering makes it ideal for single-ply roofing membranes and heavy industrial covers.

How to Choose

• Need the best value and proven durability? Choose PVC.
• Need low-temperature flexibility, recyclability or skin safety? Choose TPU.
• Need maximum weathering performance for roofing and industrial use? Choose TPO.

Tensioned PVC membrane structures have become one of the most exciting developments in modern architecture. From stadium roofs to exhibition halls and bus shelters, these lightweight fabric structures combine striking aesthetics with outstanding practical benefits.

Why Architects Choose Membrane Structures

Membrane structures are dramatically lighter than conventional roofs, which reduces the size and cost of the supporting steelwork. They also allow natural daylight to filter through the fabric, cutting artificial lighting requirements and creating bright, welcoming interior spaces.

Self-Cleaning and Low Maintenance

High-quality architectural PVC membrane is finished with a special top coating that prevents dirt from bonding to the surface. Rain naturally washes the roof clean, which means maintenance costs stay low over the life of the structure.

Fast Construction

Fabric panels are prefabricated and welded in the factory, then tensioned on site. This approach dramatically shortens construction time compared to conventional roofing, making membrane structures an attractive option for projects with tight schedules.

A Sustainable Choice

Less material, less steel, less energy — and modern PVC membranes are increasingly designed for recycling at the end of their service life. For architects and developers focused on sustainability, PVC membrane structures offer a compelling path forward.

Kezhibo manufactures architectural PVC membrane in a range of weights and grades to meet the requirements of projects of every scale.

Choosing the right tarpaulin is about matching the material to the job. Here are the key factors to consider before you buy.

1. Weight (GSM)

The weight of a tarpaulin, expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²), is the single best indicator of its strength and durability. Lightweight tarpaulins (300–500 g/m²) suit temporary shading and short-term covers. Mid-weight grades (500–750 g/m²) are ideal for agriculture and general outdoor use. Heavy duty tarpaulins (750–900 g/m² and above) are built for construction, transport and long-term outdoor protection.

2. Base Fabric and Coating

High-tenacity polyester scrim provides the tear strength, while the PVC coating delivers waterproofing and weather resistance. For applications requiring low-temperature flexibility or full recyclability, TPU coated fabric is an excellent alternative.

3. UV Resistance

If the tarpaulin will be exposed to strong sunlight for long periods, choose a UV-stabilized grade. This prevents cracking and fading and significantly extends service life.

4. Fire Retardancy

Construction sites and industrial environments often require certified flame-retardant tarpaulins. Look for materials tested to internationally recognized standards such as NFPA 701 or DIN 4102 B1.

5. Size and Accessories

Consider how the tarpaulin will be fixed. Reinforced hems, webbing loops, grommets and welded seams all add strength and convenience. If standard sizes do not fit your application, a custom-made tarpaulin is often more cost-effective than adapting an off-the-shelf product.
