PCV-Coated Webbing is Used to Add Tensile Strength to Vinyl Fabric Structures.
PVC, commonly called "vinyl", can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates, thus offering a strong, flexible, weather resistant, and attractive finish for fabrics used in signs, banners, tents, transportation, and many other applications. PVC is a "thermoplastic" which means that it can be repeatedly heated, softened, and rehardened. This property makes the material highly suitable for various methods used to weld two PCV-coated surfaces together.
