T-5000 hot melt Seam Tape is suitable for a wide range of applications but is most commonly used on jersey laminated sponge neoprene fabrics - scuba, wetsuits, dry suits, waders, fishing, canoe / kayak / paddle waterproofs etc. It has excellent durability and resistance to salt water hydrolysis and provides an attractive and long lasting finish. Not only does it add strength to the seam or repair it also remains soft and flexible after application, with its unique stretch quality. T-5000 is the brand leading Seam Sealing Tape used by major manufacturers of neoprene Wetsuits & Drysuits throughout the world and we have been successfully supplying our products to these markets since 1985. Application Instructions: For small scale production, repairs and patching the Tape can be applied using a Heat Press or Household Iron. In this case the temperature needs to be on a medium / medium hot setting - the dwell time is the important factor and this can only be determined by experimentation - suggest in the region of 5 - 10 seconds with pressure applied. Ideally test adhesion strength on a sample piece of fabric - pull the tape back after application and cooling and you should feel a strong resistance. For a good seal to be achieved the glue needs to be flowing / molten and pressure must be applied across the full width of the tape. |
