We also specially developed the AVS for bonding sunscreen fabrics, as they are highly demanding. This product is a monofilament fabric-reinforced, double-sided hotmelt tape made of polyester polymers.

The AVS reinforces acrylic and polyester fabrics as well as fabrics with a PVC or polyurethane coating in the seam area. Because the materials are subject to significant elongation during their use, this minimises overstretching and supports elastic recovery after strain is applied. When the AVS is used, the process window for processing is much larger than with glass fibre-reinforced adhesive tapes and the seam remains elastic.

Application Areas

• Conservatory awnings 

• Large-sized awning fabrics

• Conventional awnings and replacement fabrics

• Special features

  • Easy processing in the production process.

  • Excellent elastic recovery.

  • Seam overstretching due to the roll up procedure is reduced.

  • Fabric pre-tensioning is omitted.

  • Tolerates a greater seam stretch before the seam is permanently elongated.

  • Enables production of an “elastic” seam.

  • Despite reinforcement, the seam is not thicker than a conventional sewing seam!
