| | .jpg) | Adhesive Films
Adhere to virtually any substrate, including fabrics, foams, plastic sheets, composites and multiple layer combinations.
Are used in many industries, as diverse as apparel and automotive to architectural and aerospace.
Require no cure time; Contain no solvents; produce no VOCs
Are avavailable in polyurethane, nylon, polyester, polyolefin and vinyl formulas.
Are high performance hot-melts in a film form
Select the best formula for your application based on the strength of the bond required and the environmental conditions to be survived.
A variety of gauges and softening temperatures further allow our films to work well in your product application in your manufacturing process. | |

Bemis manufactures two types of elastics:
Sewfree EB adhesive tape is ideal for “edge banding” . Heat and pressure are required to activate the tape and it is typically applied to finish the edge of a leg or arm opening of a garment.
ClarenseTM are clear, versatile thermoplastic urethane films in very narrow tape form. They are intended to be stitched into garments to reinforce seams. They improve the wear and fit of garments, especially those made of knitted fabrics.
Both tapes feature superior strength and elasticity. | |

Bemis Seam tapes are slit from multilayered thermoplastic adhesive films or from coated fabrics.
They are applied to the sewn seams to prevent water from leaking through those seams. Seam tapes are applied by using a hot air taping machine.
Are used in various applications including outerwear, industrial work wear, tents, waders, footwear and military garments and gear.
Are the highest quality as well as the most cost-effective seam tapes manufactured anywhere in the world today.
Bemis tapes are specifically formulated to resist yellowing in typical seam sealing applications. | |

Sewfree® revolutionary adhesive films are designed for apparel construction and are a key element in bonded garment technology.
Bulky stitched seams can be eliminated and replaced with bonded seams which are flat, thin, lightweight and stretchey.
Form, fit and function of traditional cut and sew garments can be enhanced with these use of these soft, highly elastic, polyurethane adhesive films.
Initially designed for undergarment and intimate apparel applications, where stretch and recovery are paramount,
Sewfree® films have also been proven in applications in technical outerwear and other high performance gear. | |
