Induction seaming tapes, systems and methods

摘要

The present invention pertains to novel tapes, tools and seaming systems for creating seams of rolled goods, especially carpeting, using induction heating. The present invention also provides improved seaming tapes for use in resistive heating methods. The foundation (10) of the seaming tape comprises a base layer (11) and susceptor layer (12), the susceptor layer comprising susceptor element (14), isolated edge strips (13) isolated by slits (17)
