  • Exterior Facing Stretch and Flame Resistant Seam Tape
    Publication number: 20140223648
    Abstract: A garment having at least two fabric substrates where the substrates are joined together at a seam over which a stretchable, exterior-facing seam tape is applied is provided. The seam tape includes a flame resistant fabric and a liquid barrier layer. The seam tape can further include a separate adhesive layer. The seam tape covers the seam and contacts an exterior surface of the first fabric substrate and an exterior surface of the second fabric substrate. Moreover, the seam tape can have stretch and exhibit similar properties to that of the two fabric substrates. Further, in one embodiment, the color and pattern of the seam tape matches the fabric substrates to which the seam tape is applied. Also described is a method for forming the seam tape and attaching the seam tape to a base fabric/seam.
