Types of Industrial Cover Materials
Many types of industrial, high-performance fabrics are available as equipment covers. Each fabric has different characteristics and benefits.
- Cotton: Cotton is a natural fiber textile that becomes stronger when wet. Cotton duck is a common industrial fabric that’s strong, durable, and water-resistant.
- Canvas: Canvas is a heavy-duty cotton duck fabric. Its tight weave protects equipment from harsh weather, sun, and wind. Waterproofing treatments for canvas make it suitable for marine equipment covers.
- PVC: PVC is a synthetic vinyl fabric that is durable in all types of weather conditions. It’s easy to clean, flexible, flame-resistant, and water-resistant.
- Polyethylene: Polyethylene fabric is an industrial plastic that is strong, durable, and abrasion-resistant. It can be customized for transparency for see-through machine covers.
- Polypropylene: Polypropylene is a synthetic fabric resistant to chemicals, odors, moisture, and stains. It dries quickly, and the synthetic fibers are non-allergenic. The material also has a variety of indoor and outdoor uses because of its water-repellent properties.
Common Industrial Applications
One of the most popular applications of industrial fabrics is protecting non-waterproof portable storage containers from the elements. Polyethylene spill pallets capture any liquids spilled from storage containers, protecting the environment from contamination. Flexible, built-in bladder systems double their capacity. Both the storage container and spill pallet must be covered to prevent rain from getting inside.
Custom equipment covers are also suitable for industrial and commercial applications. At construction sites, they can prevent soil, stones, and sand from washing away in rain and windstorms. As boat, car, golf cart, and truck covers, the material can protect against damage from the sun. The covers also protect outdoor events from being interrupted by inclement weather.
Other industrial applications of custom covers include:
- Aircraft covers
- Industrial containment
- Portable building enclosures
- Insulation/climate barriers
- Emergency medical response
- Airport transportation and security
- Recreational/offroad vehicle covers
- Electronics protection
