📊 RapidSeal vs. Traditional PTFE Tape
| Feature | RapidSeal 5–8s Technology | Traditional PTFE Tape |
| Production Speed | 10–12 meters/min (fully synchronized with sewing) | 3–5 meters/min (slower and less consistent) |
| Cost | Lower total cost due to reduced labor, waste, and glue usage | Higher cost from manual labor and excessive material use |
| Curing Time | Fast 5–8 seconds | Requires longer heating or curing time |
| Safety | Non-toxic, odorless silicone adhesive | PTFE emits harmful fumes during heat application |
| Emissions Compliance | Supports ultra-low emissions (≤3 mg/m³) when paired with fine-fiber media | Inconsistent sealing may lead to emission issues |
🔸This advanced sealing method is ideal for modern industrial filtration applications demanding durability, safety, and productivity.
Adhesion & Sealing Performance of Filter Media
Quick reference comparing how common filter media respond to silicone/adhesive sealing, needle-hole penetration, and columnar seal formation in filter bag production.
| Material Type | Surface Characteristics | Adhesion Strength | Needle Hole Penetration | Columnar Seal Formation | Application Notes |
| Polyester | Smooth surface, mild polarity | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Moderate | ✅ Achievable | Common in low-to-mid temp filtration; use moderate-viscosity silicone |
| Acrylic | Moderate polarity, dense fiber structure | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Moderate | ✅ Easy to form | For 80–120°C environments; stable bonding |
| Aramid (Nomex) | High polarity, consistent texture | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Strong | ✅ Easy to form | Outstanding adhesion and shear strength |
| PPS | Moderate surface energy, thermally stable | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ | ✅ Strong | ✅ Easy to form | Excellent performance at high temps |
| P84 | Low surface energy | ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ | ✅ Moderate | ✅ Achievable | ⚠ Surface roughening (e.g., fine sanding) improves bonding performance |
| Fiberglass | Rough surface, open weave | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Very easy to form | High-temp compatibility; ideal for mechanical locking |
| PTFE- Felt | PTFE Dipping | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Strong | ✅ Easy to form | More adhesive than PTFE film; widely used in hot gas filtration |
🔒 Seal It Right, Run It Longer
In high-demand filtration, a bag is only as reliable as its seal.
Even the best fiber or scrim fails if needle holes leak, coatings peel, or seams weaken.
That’s why at KABORY, we go beyond conventional felts:
✔️ Proprietary needle-eye sealing technology (RapidSeal 5–8s) eliminates leakage at stitch points
✔️ Strong adhesion between fiber and silicone ensures columnar seal formation deep inside the felt
✔️ Proven performance in incineration, metallurgy, and chemical tail gas filtration, where emissions standards are toughest
👉 Secure your production, protect your emissions compliance, and extend filter bag life — all with KABORY’s sealing expertise.
Boost your filter performance. Cut your downtime. Protect your bottom line.
The KABORY Alternative: Needle Hole Sealing Machine
KABORY introduces the world’s first Needle Hole Sealing Machine for Filter Bags, using dual-component high-temperature silicone instead of PTFE tape.
This system applies sealant inline with sewing, cures in just 5–8 seconds, and forms a pillar-shaped embedded structure inside every needle hole.
Key Features:
-
🔧 Dual-Component Silicone Application — penetrates fibers and locks inside the needle holes.
-
⚡ Rapid Curing (5–8s) — synchronized with sewing speed, no production delays.
-
🔄 Fully Integrated — mounted directly onto automatic sewing machines.
-
🌱 Safe & Clean — zero toxic smoke, no carcinogenic risk for operators.
-
💪 Durable — becomes part of the fabric structure, resistant to heat, abrasion, and humidity.
📊 Performance Comparison
| Property | PTFE Tape Hot Sealing | Dual-Component Silicone Glue |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding depth | Surface-level only (5–10 μm), relies on surface tension | Full needle hole depth, penetrates and locks into fiber structure |
| Resistance to thermal cycling | Poor — prone to delamination due to high expansion coefficient | Excellent — silicone adapts to fiber expansion/contraction, resists delamination |
| Resistance to mechanical abrasion | Surface-only bonding; long-term friction leads to peeling/edge lifting | Embedded anchoring, highly resistant to abrasion |
| Resistance to hot & humid environments | PTFE tape degrades under heat & humidity | Silicone remains hydrophobic and stable after curing |
| Long-term stability | Frequent peeling/blistering over time | Stable performance with extended sealing life |
PTFE Tape Sealing Behavior on Different Filter Media
| Filter Media | PTFE Tape Bonding Behavior | Durability / Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Aramid (Nomex) | Simple surface hot sealing only. For better adhesion, the fiber must first be impregnated with PTFE dispersion to create PTFE–PTFE contact. | Short-term bonding possible, but weak without PTFE coating; prone to detachment. |
| PPS | Only surface-level physical adhesion, no chemical bonding. | May hold temporarily, but delaminates under thermal cycling or stress. |
| P84 | Very poor adhesion due to smooth, low-energy surface. | High risk of blistering or peeling in hot/humid environments. |
| Fiberglass | No chemical compatibility; tape sits mechanically on the fiber surface. | Fastest detachment; tape peels off quickly under pulse cleaning or heat cycling. |
| Polyester (PET) | Initial adhesion possible, but PET softens/degrades at high temperature, weakening the bond. | Short-term effectiveness; long-term peeling inevitable. |
📌 Conclusion: Regardless of the filter media, PTFE tape can only provide surface-level mechanical locking without true fiber-level integration, leading to poor long-term stability.
👉 This highlights the superiority of dual-component silicone sealing technology: it penetrates into needle holes and creates chemical + mechanical dual anchoring, ensuring reliable long-term sealing.
⚙️ Process Mechanism
| Process | Principle | Application Location | Bonding Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| PTFE Tape | High-temperature (~650℃) hot melt bonding | Filter media surface | Mechanical bonding only — softened PTFE tape pressed onto surface, minimal penetration |
| Dual-Component Silicone Glue | Penetrates into needle holes and chemically cures | Inside needle holes + surface layer | Chemical + Mechanical bonding — glue anchors inside fiber pores, forming a pillar-shaped internal seal |
🔸 High-temp silicone forms a comprehensive sealing layer both on the surface and inside the needle hole
🔸 Cylindrical internal bonding enhances leak prevention and filter bag durability under demanding conditions
