5. MAINTENANCE This corrosion protection is a long-term and continuous process. The surfaces darken, become matt and form a protective top layer. This protective layer can be damaged by weathering, environmental or mechanical influences. Depending on the thickness of the zinc coating and the type of surface damage, the zinc protective layer can be reshaped independently.

5. MAINTENANCE You can use a tarpaulin cleaner to clean the tarpaulin. Apply the tarpaulin cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. For printed or glued tarpaulins, first check a small area to make sure that the tarpaulin cleaner does not damage the printed or glued areas. We recommend not cleaning in direct sunlight or at very low temperatures.
