Comparison

Inline lamination vs. post-lamination taping

The core architectural difference between Cohesive CIBS and traditional waterproof construction.

Inline lamination

Post-lamination taping

When the laminate forms

During garment construction — seam is part of the laminate.

Fabric is laminated first, then sewn, then taped.

Barrier continuity

Uniform composite across the whole garment.

Laminated sheet, punctured and patched at every seam.

Design options

New constructions and aesthetics become possible.

Design constrained around seam-tape geometry.

QC failure modes

Fewer seam-related failures.

Seam tape is a known top cause of warranty claims.

Recommendation

Cohesive CIBS' inline lamination is the fundamental advance behind molecular seam fusion.

Applicable technologies

Go deeper.

  • CIBS

    Cohesive

    An end to seam-sealing tape. A revolutionary, patented internal seam construction that fuses membrane film to membrane film at the molecular level.
