Abstract
The disclosed tarpaulin comprises: a fabric layer, and a resin layer bonded to at least one surface of the fabric layer. The fabric layer comprises: high-density polyethylene (HDPE) multifilament yarns; polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarns arranged to cross the HDPE multifilament yarns; and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) ground yarns binding the HDPE multifilament yarns and the PP multifilament yarns. The resin layer comprises PP and low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
Claims2
A method of manufacturing a tarpaulin, the method comprising:
- kneading and melting a resin raw material mixture containing a polypropylene (PP) and a low density polyethylene (LDPE) in a cylinder including a screw;
- providing the molten resin raw material mixture to a T-die in a constant amount;
- forming a resin layer by passing the molten resin raw material mixture through the T-die;
- and
- bonding a fabric layer including a high density polyethylene (HDPE) multifilament yarn, a PP multifilament yarn arranged to cross the HDPE multifilament yarn, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) ground yarn binding the HDPE multifilament yarn and the PP multifilament yarn and the resin film,
- wherein the step of kneading the resin raw material mixture, the step of providing the molten resin raw material mixture to the T-die and the step of forming the resin film are performed at 260° C. or lower,
- wherein temperatures of the resin film forming of the T-die are vary depending on the regions of T-die,
- wherein a temperature of a first region of T-die is 220° C. to 240° C., and a second temperature of a second region of the T-die is 230° C. to 250° C.,
- wherein the resin layer includes 30% to 50% by weight of the LDPE, 30% to 50% by weight of the PP, and 10% to 20% by weight of an olefin-based copolymer, and
- wherein the olefin-based copolymer is a copolymer of a monomer mixture containing 15% to 20% by weight of a ethylene monomer and 80% to 85% by weight of a propylene monomer.
