Fireproof

Also, a PVC certificate is to come with a fire-resistance certificate. This can be achieved with any particular PVC mass component or varnish. The truth is different manufacturers tend to take diverse approaches.
Lacquered fabrics
The reputed manufacturers lacquer the fabrics on both sides. It is to ensure enhanced colorfastness and UV resistance. Moreover, the fabric stays much cleaner while the PVC mass does not experience any microdamage. Dirt and moisture, for instance, might steep within the base fabric, thereby damaging it. Base fabric material here PVC mass is to be applied needs to be of ‘low wick’, mold-resistant, and UV-resistant. The more expensive ones are anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.
Construction

Thinner ones are found to be more suitable for load covers, curtains, banners, trampolines, wrestling mats, etc. Different fabrics are used for different purposes besides weight per sq.m. (PVC mass thickness). Hence, the fabric base might differ. Trucks are fitted with 00 to 900 grams per sq.m. fabric with varnishing done only on a single side, without fire resistance. But in cars, they are much thinner.
