Seam Tape
Seam tape (heat sealing tape) is a thermoplastic adhesive film applied to sewn seams of fabrics to prevent water from leaking through the seams. It can be applied by using any of the commercially available hot air taping machines, laser or ultrasonic machinery.
Bemis seam tapes adhere to a wide variety of fabrics and materials and have been proven in many applications including:
- Rainwear/Outerwear
- Active wear: skiing, snowboarding, cycling, sailing, climbing, paddling sports, hiking, hunting fishing, golfing, etc.
- Industrial work wear
- Tents
- Footwear
- Military garments and gear
- Hazardous material protective suits
Overlay Films
Decorative overlay films are cost-effective, fashion elements that can be incorporated into any apparel design. These materials are pre-applied with a unique adhesive fi lm and custom slit to your requirements as part of the cost. In wide widths, patterns can be easily cut to suit your design needs. When slit to tape widths, they can be used over seams for decorative purposes or to enhance the water resistance properties of an outerwear seam. They can also be applied over bonded seams to eliminate edge fraying. Both strong and lightweight, these films feature excellent UV stability and very good resistance to abrasion. Immediate use of these overlay materials in your design is easily accomplished because they can be applied using commercially available platen presses or hot air sealers. |
