## Description

Description: Melco T-5000 Hot Melt Seam Sealing Tape - Nylon Jersey backer. Available in Black (20mm & 25mm) or Navy Blue (22mm). 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. Further technical information on our range of Seam Sealing Tape is available on our website at http://www.wbm-uk.com/tapes.htm. 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 apply the T-5000 Tape to a small piece of waste fabric first, to test adhesion strength - after test application and allowing time for cooling pull the tape back and you should feel a strong resistance. For a good seal to be achieved the temperature must be high enough for the adhesive to be flowing / molten and pressure must be applied across the full width of the tape.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there latex in this tape?**
A: There is no latex in the T-5000 Tape. It consists of a nylon jersey backer onto which is laminated a waterproof film layer (PU based) and a specially developed hot melt adhesive. The tape has good stretch properties and is mainly used on jersey laminated compressed rubber sponge neoprene material - for the the production of wet-suits, dry suits, waders, canoe clothing etc. It is recognized as the industry standard. Hope this helps.

**Q: How is this on very high-stretch surfing wetsuits to weld the sewn seams? It would have to be extraordinarily stretchy with this class of neoprene.**
A: It is stretchy. Although, I think you would need multiple strips to seal the seams.

**Q: Will this tape adhere to neoprene that has been slightly singed by a heat gun**
A: This item is designed to stick to the fabric coverings on the Neoprene. I would guess that this would still stick to the Neoprene, as long as there is still a good surface for it to stick to.

**Q: where is this item shipping from?**
A: Loveland, Colorado.
