PPE Seam Sealing tape has become a vital tool in the protection of medical
personnel in the fight against the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak of 2020 but
before the global pandemic, PPE seam sealing tape has been used for a long time
in the medical industry as a way of protecting medical doctors, scientists and
nurses from bacteria, virus and other biohazards that they would otherwise come
into contact with. According to World Health
Organization (WHO) around 440 billion covid-19 cases has been recorded globally

Seam Sealing Tapes Market Challenges
Disadvantages associated with the use of seam sealing tapes
Seam sealing tapes are expensive, yet do not function adequately in many environments. For example, for most hospitals, garments must maintain integrity through 100 autoclave cycles which includes industrial washing and drying but conventional seam sealing tapes often do not achieve that performance standard. Also, conventional seam sealing tapes emit excessive smoke during original manufacture or autoclaving, which is aesthetically unpleasing and dirty, and potentially dangerous. For example, one conventional prior art seam sealing tape utilizes polytetrafluoroethylene heat reflecting film to which a layer of thermoplastic hot melt adhesive is applied, the hot melt adhesive covering the seam of a garment. This construction is very expensive yet does not meet the required performance standard for some requirements, and emits significant amounts of smoke during autoclaving. Due to these factors market growth for seam sealing tapes is expected to hamper the growth of the market globally over the forecast period.
