EFFECTIVE TARPAULIN REPAIR
A metal frame covered with a tarpaulin – this is what modern trucks look like. Although the material from which the tarpaulin is made is the result of state-of-the-art technology and is usually high-quality and weather-resistant, it can become damaged. If this happens, it's worth seeking help from specialists in truck tarpaulin repair. Tarpaulin repairs must be durable and effective!
WHEN DAMAGE OCCURS, HOW CAN THE TARPAULIN BE EFFECTIVELY REPAIRED?
There are many factors that can contribute to tarp damage. The most common include:
- attempted theft of goods,
- traffic accidents,
- incorrect arrangement of goods on the trailer – shifting goods can cause many problems – from overloading one side of the vehicle to damaging the tarpaulin,
- catching on sharp objects and road infrastructure elements,
- long-term use of the sheet
All of the above situations mean that the tarp requires repair or replacement. You can either hire a professional company that specializes in this type of repair, or you can take on the task yourself and handle the repair using tarpaulin repair tape .
EFFECTIVE TARPAULIN REPAIR, WHAT TO USE?
If the damage is minor, you can quickly repair it using our tarpaulin repair kit R- Plast Multi Premium consisting of 6 patches in the following sizes:
- 39 cm x 48 cm – 1 piece
- 39 cm x 24 cm – 2 pieces
- 19.5 cm x 24 cm – 2 pieces
- 19.5 cm x 44 cm – 1 piece
and necessary accessories:
- 6 isopropyl alcohol wipes
- Sandpaper
To perform a self-repair of your car's tarpaulin efficiently, remember that corrective intervention is recommended from the inside of the tarpaulin to achieve a neat finish. Park your car in a convenient and safe location, and then:
- Use sandpaper to roughen the surface around the defect – the repair will be much more durable.
- Degrease the tarp with the included isopropyl alcohol wipes – for a more thorough cleaning, we recommend using two wipes. After degreasing, wait 2-3 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate.
- Apply the repair kit to the cleaned tarp. Select a patch 2-3 centimeters larger than the damaged area. Remove the protective layer and cover the damage.
- And that's it! It's time for those who are ready to go.
And for slightly larger repairs we recommend repair rollers with a material density of 630g/m2, available in two sizes:
- 22 cm x 220 cm
- 14 cm x 220 cm
Both the kits and the repair rollers are made of high-quality materials in 19 color variants to provide the most effective protection and match your tarp.
