Introduction
PVC laminated mesh fabric is a type of textile that combines the structure of mesh fabric with a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating or lamination. The base mesh fabric is typically made from polyester, nylon, or another synthetic material, which is woven to create a grid-like pattern with open spaces. The PVC coating is then applied to the surface of the mesh fabric to provide a waterproof, durable, and flexible layer. This lamination enhances the fabric's properties, making it resistant to water, dirt, and UV exposure, while still maintaining the lightweight and breathable qualities of mesh.
Features
Lightweight and Flexible
Despite the durable PVC coating, the mesh structure keeps the fabric lightweight and flexible. The mesh reduces the fabric's overall weight by approximately 20% compared to similar non-mesh coated fabrics, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fabric can be neatly folded or rolled for compact storage.
Breathable
The mesh construction allows for excellent air circulation, keeping the fabric breathable while maintaining the protective properties of the PVC coating. This breathability prevents heat build-up and moisture accumulation, reducing the risk of mold or mildew. In fact, the breathable mesh design lowers moisture retention by up to 40% compared to solid PVC fabrics.
Enhanced Structural Support
The combination of mesh and PVC lamination provides superior structural strength. The mesh fibers offer a solid framework, while the PVC coating enhances tensile strength. This dual construction increases the fabric's load-bearing capacity by up to 50% compared to non-laminated mesh materials. The PVC laminate ensures the fabric retains its integrity under pressure, extending its lifespan and reducing wear and tear.
Transportation Notes
1. During transportation, avoid placing heavy objects on PVC-laminated mesh fabric. Excessive weight or pressure can damage the mesh structure or PVC coating, leading to deformation, weakening, or reduced durability. Studies show that prolonged compression can decrease the fabric's tensile strength by up to 30%. It's best to transport the fabric in a loose, uncompressed state to preserve its structural integrity and ensure it remains flexible. If rolling is necessary, use a large diameter core to reduce stress on the material.
2. Temperature Control: PVC-laminated mesh fabric should be kept within a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C during transport. Exposure to extreme temperatures, particularly heat, can cause the PVC coating to soften or warp, compromising the fabric's protective qualities. Avoid leaving the fabric in direct sunlight or hot environments, such as inside a closed vehicle on a sunny day.
3. Proper Folding and Handling: When transporting large rolls or bolts of PVC-laminated mesh fabric, avoid sharp bends or creases. Folding or sharp bends can weaken the fabric and cause permanent damage to the PVC coating or mesh structure. The fabric should be rolled loosely or laid flat to avoid unnecessary stress on the material.

FAQs
What is PVC coated mesh?
Riverdale's PVC Coated Wire Mesh is a welded and galvanized steel fabric coated with our proprietary marine grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that is fuse bonded to the wire for ultimate protection.
Is PVC mesh strong?
Yes, PVC mesh is strong and durable. The combination of a woven mesh structure and a protective PVC coating provides excellent tensile strength and resistance to wear and tear. The mesh fibers offer structural support, while the PVC coating reinforces its durability, making it highly resistant to abrasion, UV exposure, and environmental elements. PVC mesh is designed to withstand heavy loads and high-stress applications, and its strength can be further enhanced by the PVC laminate, which improves its load-bearing capacity by up to 50% compared to non-laminated mesh fabrics.
What is PVC coated fabric used for?
PVC-coated fabric is used in a wide range of applications due to its durability, water resistance, and versatility. It is commonly used for outdoor gear such as tents, tarps, awnings, and covers, as it provides reliable protection from the elements. PVC-coated fabric is also used in the manufacturing of protective clothing, including rainwear and industrial gear, due to its waterproof and abrasion-resistant properties. Additionally, it is used in the production of upholstery, automotive interiors, and safety barriers, where strength and flexibility are important.
How long does PVC mesh last?
The lifespan of PVC coated mesh can vary depending on a number of factors, including the quality of the material, the environmental conditions it is exposed to and maintenance. Generally speaking, quality PVC coated mesh can last 10 to 20 years or more if properly installed and maintained.
Does PVC become brittle over time?
PVC pipes can fail prematurely if not adequately installed. PVC pipes can break if they are not well insulated against cold temperatures. PVC pipes can become brittle and break easily with time.
Why does my PVC keep cracking?
However, over time these pipes may become damaged due to a variety of reasons such as incorrect installation (joins not glued properly), age, exposure to extreme temperatures or accidental damage when other trades access the location. One of the most common problems that occur with PVC pipes is cracking.
How do you sew PVC coated fabric?
Needle: Project depending – use a 70/10 needle for thin weight projects, 140/16 for thicker weights. ✂ Stitch Length: Use a longer stitch length 3 – 3.5. Using a smaller stitch may cause the vinyl to perforate. Machine Foot: Vinyl is sticky – it will stick to itself, your machine foot or machine bed.
What sticks to PVC fabric?
Bostik Fabric Glue is an ultra strong clear adhesive for fabric repairs and crafts. It's perfect for making long lasting, flexible bonds on porous fabrics such as cotton, denim, linen, felt, leather, PVC and much more, and can withstand machine-washing and ironing.
