Abstract
A seam tape may be provided to independently and indirectly couple panels to create an inflatable product. Each panel includes a first substrate, and the seam tape includes a second substrate having a melt temperature that greater than a melt temperature of the first substrate. A method of adhering a seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material to a panel includes positioning the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material on the panel such that the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material receives more heat than the panel when adhering the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material to the panel.
Claims20
A seam tape configured to independently and indirectly couple gas-holding panels to create a gas-holding inflatable product, each gas-holding panel comprising a first substrate, the seam tape comprising:
- a second substrate having a melt temperature that is greater than a melt temperature of the first substrate of the indirectly coupled gas-holding panels to which the seam tape is applied.
An inflatable safety product comprising:
- a panel comprising a first substrate comprising a first melt temperature;
- and
- a seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material joined to the gas-holding panel, wherein the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material comprises a second substrate comprising a second melt temperature, wherein the second melt temperature is greater than the first melt temperature.
A method of adhering a seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material to a gas-holding panel or a non-gas-holding panel, the method comprising:
- positioning the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material on the gas-holding panel or non-gas-holding panel such that the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material receives more heat than the gas-holding panel or non-gas-holding panel when adhering the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material to the gas-holding panel or non-gas-holding panel,
- wherein a substrate of the gas-holding panel or non-gas-holding panel has a first melt temperature and the substrate of the seam tape, patch material, accessory material, or component material has a second melt temperature greater than the first melt temperature.
