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.
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.
