Flame Retardant Excellence
CPAI-84 and NFPA 701 Compliant: This tarp meets the specifications for the CPAI-84 U.S. Mil AA-55308 Type 1 and NFPA 701 Method 1 fire safety standards, which are recognized across the construction, manufacturing, and transport industries. These certifications confirm the material’s ability to resist ignition and limit flame spread, making it a reliable choice for environments where fire hazards are present.
Robust Design: Also referred to as a PVC-Coated Polyester Scrim Flame Retardant Tarp, this product features a tightly woven polyester base laminated with flame-retardant PVC (Vinyl). The result is a strong, flexible, and weather-resistant tarp that performs well in harsh settings. It stands up to prolonged sun exposure, moisture, abrasion, and fire, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
FR Vinyl in our 1973 Catalog
For over half a century, Humphrys has been manufacturing PVC-coated polyester covers specially formulated to withstand fire, sparks, sun, rain, and rough handling. As you can see from this snippet of our 1973 catalog, the purpose and capabilities of these products haven't changed a great deal.

 | Double-Thick Hems: Our 3-ply hems are heat-sealed instead of stitched for a durable edge without any holes caused by sewing needles. The result is a very thick and durable edge that resists abrasion and stands up to tension put on grommets. |
 | Black Brass Grommets: Half inch inner diameter grommets are spaced every two feet around our vinyl tarps, with with 1' spacing being a made-to-order option. Made in America out of brass, these grommets will not corrode with outdoor use, and can be relied on for years. |
Options for Made-to-Order Tarps:
Grommets with Reinforced Patches: When extra strength is needed, we can add reinforcement patches at each grommet. These patches help prevent the grommet from tearing out of the fabric. They're especially useful in high-stress situations like scaffolding, high winds, or water control applications.
D-Rings: This edge option is designed for situations that need extra-strong attachment points. It includes reinforced webbing, steel-plated zinc D-rings, and optional patches for added durability. The 1-1/8-inch D-rings make tie-downs easy and keep the tarp secure, even under heavy use, or extreme elemental exposure.
Rope in Hem: Whether you’re using grommets or D-rings, adding a rope inside the hem creates an edge that can handle heavy tension. The rope, sewn between layers of fabric, absorbs the pulling force and helps prevent stretching or tearing. This protects the tarp and keeps it intact even in tough conditions.
Take a look at this quick demonstration of the fire retardant properties of our FR pvc coated polyester scrim tarp. Though the tarp can be burnt away, it does not itself burn, and it self extinguishes within 2 seconds once the flame source is removed.
