Hot Air

Hot air seam sealing from PFAFF INDUSTRIAL — the most common method for waterproof and weatherproof textile seams.

Hot Air / Seam Sealing (Taping)

Taping is also been made with hot air. It is the most common sealing method, used for creating a waterproof seam for mem- branes inside garments (e.g. outdoor applications). Other typical applications are waterproof shoes, work wear and chemical suits and sewn and foamed automotive interior equipment. It is ac- tually a hot melt gluing process by using a hot melt layer on the seam sealing tape. Sewing and taping normally is a division of function. The sewn seam will achieve the strength, the taping will create a liquid proof seam. Taping doesn’t need thermoplastic fabrics. A hot melt glues can also stick on other fabrics. The type of glue has to match to the basic fabric.
