Tightly sewn with a reinforced outer binding to increase seam strength and barrier. For potential misting exposure of non-hazardous liquids or particle penetration through the seam. Both sewn and taped to provide strong chemical resistance against heavy liquid splashes and tough seam stress. A sewn seam is covered with a strip of compatible material by heat-sealing. Sewn, then taped on the inside and the outside of the seam for a very strong chemical- and stress-resistance seam. 16 | www.maltindustries.com
