Industrial-grade versatility across shelters, structures, liners, and covers.
Canvacon's versatility across applications comes down to three things: watertight seams with hot air and wedge weldability, a reinforced construction that resists tears and punctures, and flex crack resistance that keeps performing through constant movement and weather changes.
Product Benefits
Watertight Seams
Excellent welding characteristics create strong, moisture-resistant seams.
Safe Across Applications
100% lead and phthalate-free with full recyclability. Safe for agricultural operations to public installations.
Moisture Resistance
Strong HDPE fabric construction resists moisture absorption and biological breakdown.
Flex-Crack Resistance
The inherently flexible coating moves with your structure instead of fighting it.
Dirt-Repellent.
Dirt-repellent PE coating sheds debris naturally.
Canvacon® Features
This woven polyethylene scrim reinforced fabric is engineered for applications where you need watertight seams, abrasion resistance, and long-term UV durability.
Up to 10-Year UV Warranty
We engineer UV stabilisers directly into the fabric during manufacturing for superior protection that outlasts surface treatments.
Temperature Resilient
Performs reliably across a -30°C to +70°C temperature range. Handles seasonal extremes without cracking, warping, or losing structural integrity.
Woven HDPE Scrim Reinforcement
Reinforced layers combined with engineered coatings withstand harsh installation and environmental conditions without tearing or wearing through.
100% Lead & Phthalate-Free
Non-toxic manufacturing process ensures safe use across all applications, from agricultural operations to drinking water storage.
100% Recyclable
Fully recyclable material with no chlorine or heavy metals in production.
Multiple Weight Options
Choose from 240gsm to 410gsm weights to match your specific application requirements. Light enough for easy handling, heavy enough to handle demanding conditions.
Multiple Width Options
Choose from 2.05m to 3.2m to match your specific application requirements.
Advanced Coating Technology™
GALE's proprietary coating process delivers class-leading coating adhesion and superior resistance to flex cracking.
