Ultrasonically Welded SeamsProvides a strong liquid and particle barrier.

Ultrasonically Welded & Taped SeamsA feature throughout the Microchem 4000 range, this seamtechnology is our highest barrier to liquid and particulates.

Stitched & Taped SeamsInternal stitching which is overtaped to offer increasedstrength and an effective barrier to liquids and particulates.

Bound SeamsAn overlay of material similar to the base fabric is lock-stitched in place. This technologyprovides superior strength, liquid and particle barrier when compared to a traditionalstitched seam. The bound seam on 2000 Plus has been proven to pass the EN 468 highlevel water spray test.

Stitched SeamsMicrochem utilise 3-thread overlocking technology, which offers an excellent balanceof a strong seam with good particle barrier. Internal stitching, reduces the risk of anypotential linting from the thread.
