Seam Sealing Tape for 3-Layer Fabrics

Specialist tapes suitable for sealing seams on 3 layer high performance waterproof breathable laminates.

The tapes consist of 3-layers; a nylon backer, a PU non-thermoplastic waterproof primer film and a specially developed hot melt adhesive.

The unique polymer development used for the hot melt adhesive allows the tapes to remain soft and flexible after application minimising any transfer impression to the garment outer and provides for excellent performance and durability in wear.

Hot Air Tape Sealing Machines

To seal the seams on 3-Layer fabrics it is essential that the tape adhesive completely saturates the nylon backing fabric and bonds to the middle waterproof layer.

Seam Sealing Tape for 3 Layer Fabrics

TQ-2200 Soft, versatile tape (140g/m2 - 220my) developed to give more effective waterproof bonding / sealing on a wide range of modern soft handle 3-layer laminated fabrics with minimum tape transfer impression.
TQ-2520 Stretch tape with a polyester jersey backer (22 tex / 24 fil - 240my thickness) for use on 3-layer (jersey and tricot laminates) and 2-layer fabrics, which have stretch characteristics. The tape uses a combination of a stretch backer and a less dense adhesive formulation to achieve high-quality waterproof bonding on stretch fabrics.  
TQ-2260 S           Seam Tape (300my thickness) for use on trilaminate marine suits, dry suits, waders etc. It is similar in appearance and weight to T-2000X and has the same woven nylon 6.6 tricot backer, but it has a different hot melt adhesive formulation, with higher melt temperature and the benefit of a more immediate grip / bond. This supports successful seam sealing on heavier weight fabrics / bulkier seams and durability and performance in harsh marine environments.  
T-5000 Hot melt tape with good stretch / extensibility / elasticity, originally developed for use on jersey laminated CR sponge neoprene fabrics - wetsuits, dry suits, waders, fishing, canoe / kayak / paddle waterproofs etc. but has since been successfully used on a wide variety of other projects including medical supports / braces, cycle clothing, smart gloves, paint rollers, motor vehicle interiors and soft tops, etc. In the marine sectors it continues to be recognised as the “industry standard” – it has excellent durability and resistance to saltwater hydrolysis whilst providing an attractive decorative and long-lasting finish. Not only does it add strength to the seam it also remains soft and flexible after application. Standard supply is colour Black on rolls 50m length – most popular widths are 20mm and 15mm but it is also available in 25mm, 30mm and 300mm width (the latter can be easily cut into patches etc.).

Stretch tape with nylon 6 jersey backer and Dot reinforced fabric

T-5500N Hot melt Dot Reinforced Non-Slip material (same adhesive as T-5000) that is suitable for jersey laminated CR sponge neoprene and a wide range of other fabrics and applications – for seam reinforcement, seam taping, knee pads, seat pads, elbow pads, glove facings etc. and also external decoration. It adds strength and remains flexible after application, with its unique stretch quality. It can be easily cut it into any shape required – it is normally supplied in roll size 30m length x 300mm width but can also be supplied in narrower widths for use as seam Tape i.e. 22mm and 28mm subject to minimum order quantities.
T-5509 N Hot Melt Dot reinforced fabric -Black.
This has a different dot pattern.
Use to create a non-slip surface e.g. marine suit knee, seat and elbow pads, glove facings, etc.
