SEAM SEALING TAPE

Most fabrics used in the manufacturing of technical outerwear, tents and many other products combine water repellency or water proofing (WPR) characteristics with breathability and moisture vapour transmission (MVT).

These properties are directly incorporated into the fabrics by various treatments. In addition, most of these fabrics are coated or laminated with a waterproof membrane layer that prevents water transmission through the fabric. Unfortunately, water will soak through the stitch holes created when seams are sewn during garment manufacturing process .

A seam and a needle hole may be small, but without proper and good quality seam sealing tape the water and liquid proofness properties of the fabric is lost as the garment will leak. In order to prevent water from penetrating through the stitches, the proper sealing is essential.

Seam sealing tape is a thermoplastic adhesive film applied to sewn seams of garment to prevent water from leaking through the seams.

Types Of Seam Sealing Tapes

2 Layer seam sealing tape consists of two components, namely a Thermoplastic Barrier Layer and a Hotmelt adhesive Layer underneath. It is applied onto the seams of a Garment/Equipment by Hot air Seam Sealing Machines from inner side to make the garments completely waterproof and windproof. 2 Layer tapes are commonly applied to 2L fabrics’ membrane side.

3 Layer seam sealing tape has an additional layer of Tricot fabric on top of barrier and adhesive layers. It is used mainly on the thick and heavy duty fabrics.  It’s most appropriate for heavy work related industries requiring high water pressure resistance, such as fire fighting, chemical protection, military and medical garments, etc.

We could also supply wide range of printed and textured tape options, which could be applied inner side of outdoor garments’ seams to enhance the elegance of design by printing patterns, text or logo onto the barrier side of the tape. Moreover it is possible to supply color tapes to match your garment’s membrane color and design.
