The Flexibility: PE Tarps vs PVC Tarps – Which Bends Best?
In the field of waterproof tarps, PVC tarps typically outperform PE tarps in terms of bending performance (i.e., softness, foldability, and conformability). However, analyzing from the perspective of material properties, PE is polyethylene, a type of thermoplastic that is generally relatively hard, especially high-density PE. PVC is polyvinyl chloride, which is inherently rigid, but becomes soft when plasticizers are added.
