1 Introduction of Seam Sealing Tapes Types
According to the types, seam sealing tapes can be divided into 3-Layer, 2-Layer, 1-Layer, and others.
3-Layer is similar to 2-layer seam sealing tapes but with a thicker and more heavy-duty design that makes them ideal for use in more demanding environments such as military applications, medical wear, the automotive industry (for the likes of car seat seam sealing and dashboards), dry and wet suits and PPE Clothing.
2-Layer seam sealing tape is commonly used to prevent water penetration over stitch seams and is commonly found in the likes of waterproof jackets.
Single layer seam sealing tapes are only activated by heat to weld onto PU coated fabrics.
2 Global Seam Sealing Tapes Market Value by Type
From 2018 to 2023, the global market value of different types of seam sealing tapes has shown varying trends. Single-layered tapes have seen a steady increase from 30.69 M USD in 2018 to an estimated 36.89 M USD in 2023. Two-layered tapes have also experienced growth, rising from 71.22 M USD in 2018 to a forecasted 93.64 M USD in 2023.
