Seam Sealing Tape for ProSoft® PUL & ProCare® Fabrics (W-225)

Info

• Used for sealing sewn seams on light to medium weight PUL, ProCare or other polyurethane or vinyl coated fabrics - NOT recommended to replace stitching & NOT designed for 3-layer PUL or CORE PUL

• The adhesive side is smooth, the outer, barrier side is slightly rough. You can feel the difference. On the roll, the adhesive is on the inner side of the tape.

• Applied over sewn seams of fabrics to make them windproof/waterproof.

• Washability of sealed seams is excellent.

• CPSIA certified, meeting stringent standards by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission on lead and phthalates and flammability.

• Recommended to be applied using professional grade sewing machines with an attachment for seam sealing, or other commercial hot air taping, laser, RF welding or ultrasonic machines at a moderate temperature and high line speeds

• For small applications it is possible to apply using a home iron. Place the smooth adhesive side of the tape over the seam to overlap the seam and the fabric edge. Place some silicone paper (any substrate, such as PTFE paper, to protect the tape from sticking to the iron) paper over the tape and press using a hot iron. Steam irons do not work on this, as the holes may prevent application of proper pressure and heat. just a plain hot iron

• Sealing temperatures must be between 98°C/194°F and 160°C/320°F. Temperatures lower or higher may not provide a waterproof seal. Different fabrics may require a different setting.

• Used for polyurethane and vinyl substrates. May not work on other fabrics.

• *Recommended parameters for using with a Hot air sealer are: Temperature: 350°C to 700°C, Time: 4.0 to 7.0 m/min, Pressure: 3.92 bar

• *Bonding conditions will vary for different machines, fabrics and applications. Optimal bonding conditions must be established by the user for each application prior to production.
