Why use 16 Oz Cotton Canvas?

16oz Cotton Canvas Covers are Ideal for road surface and tarmac contractors, cotton canvas emerges as the ultimate choice for covering scorching hot tarmac or asphalt. Its remarkable ability to withstand soaring temperatures without succumbing to melting or degradation sets it apart from other materials. However, it is important to note that even this resilient canvas is not impervious to the wear and tear inflicted by stones and machinery, gradually leading to its deterioration over time. On average, a well-utilised canvas cover can endure for a period of 12 to 16 months, serving as a testament to its durability.

When it comes to tarmac and asphalt covers, heavy-grade 16oz cotton canvas has been the traditional go-to option. Its robust construction ensures that it can withstand the harsh and demanding environment in which it is utilized. On the other hand, opting for lighter grades of canvas is ill-advised due to the rough conditions it would encounter, potentially compromising its effectiveness.

The transportation of hot tarmac and asphalt is a critical process that demands utmost attention. With trucks carrying substantial quantities of these materials on a daily basis, it becomes imperative to prevent their premature cooling. To achieve this, a large cotton canvas is strategically placed directly on top of the tarmac or asphalt within the truck’s tipper after loading. This protective layer acts as a barrier, effectively insulating the hot materials and maintaining their temperature throughout the journey.

To ensure the secure attachment of the canvas tarpaulin, 6mm polypropylene rope and brass eyelets are employed. These eyelets are thoughtfully spaced every 4ft (or 1.2m) along the edge, guaranteeing a firm and reliable hold. This meticulous attention to detail in the fastening process further enhances the overall effectiveness of the cotton canvas cover, providing peace of mind to road surface and tarmac contractors.
