Plastic Joining Applications

Clearweld can be used with synthetic textiles for stitchless, water-resistant seams without the need for secondary sealing. Fabric integrity is assured by localizing melting to the seam interface.

Gentex continues to conduct research on the use of Clearweld for seam sealing of textiles. For the latest findings and successes, contact Gentex Corporation.

The revolutionary, new textile joining technique offers:

Seam strengths comparable to other joining techniques
Colors not affected
Retention of external appearance
Automated production/manufacturing
Simultaneous multi-layer welds of thermoplastics

Unprecedented applications, color & design flexibility:

Airbags
Protective clothing and footwear with sealed seams
Foam-backed aerospace, automotive & home upholstery
Inflatable structures, flotation crafts and more!
