PVC Inflatable Fabric Manufacturer

Anhui Kingtex Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a PVC Inflatable Fabric Manufacturer in Chuzhou, Anhui, China. We make PVC inflatable material from 1000D x 1000D high-tenacity polyester filament yarn, woven into dense plain or Panama constructions and coated on both sides with PVC. The range covers 550gsm to 900gsm in widths up to 3.2m, with acrylic or PVDF topcoats, environmental compliance, and flame-retardant options for recreational, rescue and industrial inflatable structures.

Our job is to turn air retention, peel adhesion, tear resistance and flame retardancy into controlled specifications. From yarn selection and weaving density to cold lamination, hot lamination and coating, production stays inside our Custom PVC Inflatable Fabric Factory, so coating uniformity and dimensional stability are repeatable from batch to batch.

Product range and how each grade fits

The inflatable fabric line is based on 1000D x 1000D polyester filament warp and weft. The differences are weave density, total weight, coating build and optional topcoat. That is why a 650gsm fabric for an inflatable castle and a 900gsm fabric for a military shelter are not the same material; they are different engineered constructions.

The fourth grade, 1000D 550gsm PVC Double-Side Coated Fabric, uses an 18 x 18 plain weave and serves lighter inflatables such as water toys, kayaks, advertising inflatables and products where weight and packing volume matter more than maximum load.

Application fit and structural expectations

We supply materials, not finished inflatables, so the application fit is defined by pressure, span, impact load, UV exposure and fire code. The fabric must hold its shape under repeated inflation and deflation, resist puncture at contact points and keep the PVC coating bonded at welded seams.

• Inflatable castles and obstacle courses – 650gsm grade for high-frequency impact and repeated folding.
• Emergency evacuation slides and rescue cushions – 850gsm or 900gsm depending on span and required safety factor.
• Flexible barrier dams and water bladders – 850gsm to 900gsm for sustained hydrostatic load.
• Inflatable kayaks and water toys – 550gsm to 650gsm for lighter handling and compact packing.
• Air dome frames and inflatable tent beams – 900gsm Panama weave for high-pressure long-term deployment.

Construction and material choices

The base fabric is 1000D x 1000D polyester filament yarn, not spun staple, so the material has predictable elongation and good dimensional stability. Plain weave grades use dense yarn counts to improve puncture resistance; the 900gsm Panama weave changes the interlacing pattern to distribute forces more evenly and improve tear propagation resistance.

Coating adhesion is the specification that matters most for HF welding and seam strength. Our measured peel adhesion of 100–110 N/5cm means the coating stays bonded to the base fabric when seams are stressed, folded or exposed to heat. The topcoat choice affects long-term outdoor behavior.

• Acrylic topcoat – flexible, cost-effective and suitable for general outdoor protection.
• PVDF topcoat – higher UV resistance, stain resistance and longer weatherability.
• Flame retardant – customized formulations to meet B1, B2, M2, NFPA-701 or B-S2/d0.
• Environmental compliance – lead-free, 6P, RoHS and REACH options.

Production and quality control

Kingtex operates professional PVC cold lamination, hot lamination and coating lines, plus a complete set of testing instruments. Our quality management system covers the whole process from raw material intake to finished shipment. For inflatable fabric, the measured values in our table are generated with DIN EN ISO 2286, DIN 53354, DIN 53356 and ASTM D751 methods, so your incoming inspection can use the same benchmarks.

Because we control weaving and coating in the same China PVC Inflatable Fabric Manufacturer facility, we can adjust density, coating weight and finish without changing the base yarn system.

Width, cutting and high-frequency welding

A width of up to 3.2m is a practical advantage for automated cutting and HF welding. Wider material means fewer seams, shorter welding time and lower air-leak risk. Controlled coating uniformity also makes electrode settings more stable and reduces sticking during HF welding.

When you request a configuration, please define the fabrication process: HF welding, hot-air welding, adhesive assembly or a combination. We use that information to confirm the topcoat and flame-retardant formulation that suits your production equipment and final operating conditions.

Installation, acceptance and maintenance

Our PVC inflatable fabric is delivered as roll goods, so installation happens in your workshop or on-site fabrication line. Acceptance should be based on the batch test report, not only on visual inspection. We can agree on sampling for tensile, tear and adhesion at order stage.

• Store rolls upright, away from direct UV and sharp contact.
• Clean with mild detergent and water; avoid solvent-based cleaners that can soften PVC.
• Inspect welded seams before every season; repair small punctures with compatible PVC patch material.
• For long-term outdoor structures, schedule annual checks of topcoat condition and coating adhesion.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 650gsm and 900gsm inflatable fabrics?

The 650gsm grade uses a 20 x 22 plain weave with 2800/2300 N/5cm tensile strength; the 900gsm Panama grade uses a 30 x 30 Panama weave with 4200/3800 N/5cm tensile strength. Choose 650gsm for standard castles and rescue slides, and 900gsm for large-span, high-pressure or long-deployment structures.

Can you supply a custom grade between 550gsm and 900gsm?

Yes. As a Custom PVC Inflatable Fabric Factory, we adjust weave density, coating weight, topcoat and FR formulation around the same 1000D polyester base. Send your target weight and mechanical values and we will propose a construction.

What width do you supply?

Width is available up to 3.2m. Wider format reduces the number of longitudinal seams in large inflatables and improves airtightness. Roll length is confirmed at order stage based on grade and shipping method.

Which flame-retardant and environmental standards can the material meet?

The inflatable fabric can be formulated to meet B1, B2, M2 and NFPA-701, with the 900gsm grade also supporting B-S2/d0. Environmental options include lead-free, 6P, RoHS and REACH.

What test data do you provide with a shipment?

Batch test data is based on DIN EN ISO 2286 for weight and width, DIN 53354 for tensile, DIN 53356 for tear and ASTM D751 for adhesion. The measured values can be used as incoming inspection benchmarks.
