Innovation in the art materials industry means new possibilities for artists. GowinCraft is proud to manufacture a modern alternative to traditional canvases: the GW203 Synthetic Terylene Canvas Roll. This product is specifically engineered to meet the demands of contemporary artists who work big, require durability, and need a cost-effective solution for large-scale projects.
As a wholesale partner, offering this specialty painting canvas roll opens up new markets and serves a growing need among muralists, scenic designers, and production artists. This is not simply a cheaper canvas; it’s a different tool with a unique set of advantages, and our factory-direct pricing makes it an incredibly smart addition to your product line.
Why Choose a Synthetic Terylene Canvas?
While cotton and linen have centuries of history, synthetic canvases offer practical benefits that make them the superior choice for many modern applications. Terylene (a type of polyester) provides a smooth, strong, and stable surface with properties that natural fibers cannot match.
Exceptional for Large-Scale Work
The single greatest advantage of our GW203 roll is its dimension. At an impressive 2.1 meters (nearly 7 feet) wide, it is the ultimate large canvas roll for painting. This allows artists to create enormous, seamless works without the need to join multiple pieces of canvas, which is a critical feature for murals and theatrical backdrops.
Optimized for Acrylic Paints
Synthetic fibers are non-absorbent. When primed, this creates a surface that is exceptionally well-suited as a canvas roll for acrylic painting. The paint sits on top of the surface, retaining its full vibrancy, color, and gloss. Blending can be easier, and less paint is needed to achieve opaque coverage, which is a significant cost-saving on large projects.
Immune to Environmental Factors
Unlike natural fibers like cotton or linen, Terylene is a synthetic polymer. This means it is completely immune to moisture, humidity, and rot. It will not slacken in damp conditions or become brittle in dry ones. This makes it the perfect choice for murals in variable climates, public art installations, and any work that may be exposed to less-than-ideal atmospheric conditions.
Incredible Strength-to-Weight Ratio
At a relatively light 230-250g/m², our Terylene canvas is easy to handle, transport, and stretch. Despite its light weight, its synthetic polymer fibers give it incredible tensile strength, making it highly resistant to tearing or puncture—a crucial feature when working on a large, public-facing piece.
Deep Dive: The GW203 Terylene Canvas Roll
Our synthetic canvas roll is a single, focused product designed to do one thing exceptionally well: provide a large, durable, and affordable surface for ambitious art projects.
- Item No: GW203
- Material: 100% Terylene (Polyester)
- Weight: 230-250g/m²
- Width: 2.1 meters
- Surface: Triple-primed with universal acrylic gesso for a smooth, non-absorbent finish.
The smooth surface is ideal for artists who work with airbrushes, fine lines, or graphic styles. The lack of natural fiber texture allows for crisp edges and uniform fields of color. It is a blank slate in the truest sense, allowing the artist’s technique to take center stage without the influence of a heavy fabric weave.
Applications & Ideal Wholesale Partners
The unique properties of the GW203 Terylene roll make it a must-have for businesses serving specific artistic communities.
- For Suppliers to Muralists & Public Artists: This is your core market. Mural artists require vast, seamless surfaces and durability against the elements. The 2.1m width and moisture resistance make this the perfect product to market directly to this growing community.
- For Theatrical & Scenic Design Suppliers: The creation of stage backdrops and scenery requires canvas that is wide, lightweight, durable, and takes paint well. Our synthetic canvas meets all these requirements, making it a superior and more cost-effective choice than traditional muslin.
- For Art Schools & Universities with Mural Programs: Equip your students with a material that is affordable enough for large-scale experimentation. Foster ambitious projects without the prohibitive cost of enormous linen or cotton canvases.
- For Production Art Studios: For studios that create decorative art for hospitality or corporate clients, this canvas provides a consistent, affordable surface for producing large series of works efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions for Wholesale Buyers
1. Can you use oil paints on this synthetic canvas?
Yes. Our canvas is primed with a universal acrylic gesso, making it suitable for oil paints. However, due to its non-absorbent nature, drying times for oils may be slightly longer than on cotton or linen. It is most popular with acrylic painters.
2. How does it stretch compared to cotton?
Terylene has very little stretch, which is a significant advantage. It is easy to pull taut on a large frame and will not sag over time or with changes in humidity. It requires a sturdy stretcher frame due to the tension.
3. Is the surface completely smooth?
It has a very fine, almost invisible woven texture, but it is much smoother than any natural fiber canvas. This makes it ideal for fine detail, airbrushing, and graphic applications.
4. Is it archival?
Yes. As a stable polymer, Terylene is chemically inert and acid-free. It will not yellow or degrade over time, making it an archival support.
5. How is such a wide roll shipped?
The 2.1m rolls are carefully packaged in extra-strong, reinforced tubes and are typically shipped via freight carrier to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. We will coordinate all shipping logistics with you.
