Properties of blockout tarpaulin

The opacity is the blockout tarpaulin's major asset. The intermediate layer prevents show through of the image from the respective opposite side, thereby assuring maximum impact of the graphics on both sides. Thanks to its outstanding weather-resistance, the material is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is particularly rugged and durable.

Characteristics of blockout tarpaulin

The opaque blockout tarpaulin is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The material is heavy, robust and extremely tear-proof, making it ideal for long-term use outdoors. The smooth surface on both sides yields brilliant colours. The tarpaulin is without structure and has a smooth feel. The material can be wiped clean with a gentle cleaning agent and water.

"Blockout tarpaulin is a reliable weather-resistant material for both short- and long-term advertising campaigns. The tarpaulin is light-proof, due to which the printed motif remains non-distorted and is well-visible from all sides. To make sure that the tarpaulin remains in place even in bad weather, we supply it with customised eyelets."
