PVDF Coated PVC Architectural Membrane Fabric

Construction and Critical Specifications

The JT-1200 construction starts with a dense polyester base that carries the tensile and tear load. Double-sided PVC coating protects the scrim, while the PVDF + acrylic surface layer provides UV resistance and anti-fouling behavior. These layers are bonded with an adhesion strength of at least 120 N/5cm, so the composite behaves as a single structural skin under biaxial stress.

• Base fabric: high-tenacity polyester 1300×1300D, 30×32 per inch
• Weight: 1200 g/m²
• Thickness: 0.92 ± 0.02 mm
• Width: up to 3.2 m
• Temperature range: -30 °C to 70 °C

Where JT-1200 Fits in a Membrane Project

JT-1200 is specified where the membrane must carry structural loads, resist wind uplift, and remain clean in outdoor exposure over many years. Typical applications include membrane structure buildings, stadium roofs, exhibition halls, carports, temporary or permanent sunshades, architectural facades, decorative membranes, and rainproof or windproof covering materials.

The grade is part of our Architectural Membrane Fabric Manufacturer range, which covers coated architectural membranes for different structural and aesthetic requirements.

• Membrane structure buildings: stadiums, exhibition halls, carports
• Temporary and permanent sunshades
• Architectural facades and decorative membranes
• Rainproof, windproof and UV-resistant covering materials

For larger permanent roofs with higher strength demand, we supply Industrial Grade PVDF Architectural Membrane Fabric. Where the project is primarily an architectural skin or interior decorative membrane and does not require the same structural reserve, Acrylic Coated PVC Architectural Membrane Fabric is a lower-cost alternative.

Configuration Options

We tailor JT-1200 around the surface finish and fire performance your project requires. Surface variants available from our factory include non-weldable PVDF, acrylic finish, anti-wicking and mildew-resistant treatments.

• Fire classification: B1/B2/B3 according to GB 8624-2012 or DIN 4102-1
• Surface variants: PVDF, acrylic finish, non-weldable PVDF
• Protective treatments: anti-wicking, mildew-resistant
• Roll configuration: width up to 3.2 m, cutting to panel lengths on request

Because the PVDF top coat can change welding behavior, confirm whether the membrane will be hot-air or HF welded. If your specification requires a non-weldable PVDF surface for other reasons, we can include that variant in the product definition.

Installation, Fabrication and Maintenance

At 3.2 m wide, JT-1200 reduces the number of welded seams in a tensioned membrane layout. This improves weather tightness and shortens installation time. The fabric is compatible with standard membrane fabrication equipment for cutting, edge detailing and welding, and can be supplied in roll form for your patterning process.

For building owners, the PVDF + acrylic surface lowers dirt accumulation and simplifies cleaning with water and a mild detergent. This keeps the membrane bright and reduces lifecycle maintenance compared with uncoated PVC surfaces.

Quality Control and Testing

Our factory operates PVC cold lamination, hot lamination and coating lines with a full set of testing instruments. Raw material intake, in-process coating and final release are controlled under our quality management system.

For orders of JT-1200, the values in our specification table are referenced to DIN EN ISO 1421, DIN 53357, DIN 53363 and DIN EN 1876-1, with flame retardancy classified under GB 8624-2012 or DIN 4102-1. If your project requires a specific test standard, include it in your inquiry and we will use that protocol during production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JT-1200 PVDF Coated PVC Architectural Membrane Fabric?

JT-1200 is a double-sided PVC-coated architectural membrane with a 1300×1300D polyester base. It weighs 1200 g/m², is 0.92 mm thick, and carries a PVDF + acrylic surface treatment for weather resistance and anti-fouling behavior.

What tensile and tear values should be considered in structural design?

The warp tensile strength is 6000 N/5cm and weft tensile strength is 5800 N/5cm. Tear strength is 850 N warp and 800 N weft. Adhesion between coating and base fabric is at least 120 N/5cm, which is essential for biaxial load transfer in tensioned membranes.

Can JT-1200 meet B1 fire requirements?

Yes. The fabric can be produced to B1, B2 or B3 classification according to GB 8624-2012 or DIN 4102-1. We need the required class and relevant building code in your inquiry before finalizing the formulation.

What widths are available?

JT-1200 is available up to 3.2 m wide. The roll width affects pattern efficiency and the number of field welds, so we confirm the working width during quotation preparation.

Can the surface finish be customized for welding and soiling resistance?

Yes. Standard is PVDF + acrylic, and we can supply non-weldable PVDF, acrylic finish, anti-wicking and mildew-resistant variants. Confirm the joining method so we deliver the matching surface treatment.
