Hot melt seam tape technology for all applications
ORCON® has developed a full range of hot melt seam tapes, all made in the USA, to accommodate all carpet backings and traffic levels. Whether installing carpets with jute, ACTIONBAC®, SoftBac, latex, woven, or any other type of backing, there is an ORCON® seam tape that will do the job correctly. Our tapes use the highest quality of thermoplastics specifically designed for every application, so that the tapes melt at the right temperature with low levels of smoke and odors and flow into the carpet backing, creating the strongest seams. ORCON®’s XU-90 seam tape has been developed to be able to accommodate every type of carpet backing. For high traffic and commercial applications, we offer 7” wide hot melt tapes and double stick tapes with a pressure sensitive adhesive on the bottom. Regardless of the situation, there is an ORCON® seam tape designed for the job.
Tools created by professionals, for professionals
ORCON® got its start in carpet installation tools by partnering with flooring installers who came up with their own solutions when the available tools just were not good enough. Today, we continue to develop and supply a full line of high-quality installation tools, from scrapers and blades to carpet pullers and kickers, to tucking tools and rollers. Our ACTION KNIFE® includes a patented D-Ring to make it easier to change blades, and our PEAK-BUSTER™ Glue Gun with patented nozzle makes it quick and easy to seal carpet edges. Our KOOL TOP® seaming irons were an innovation in the industry, and are the perfect complement to ORCON® hot melt seam tapes. With a broad range of tools designed and improved by flooring experts, ORCON® offers what you need for quicker and easier installations.
Building on a global reputation for excellence
Our products rely on more than high-performance materials. Their reputation is ensured by globally-available technical and field support. For more information about how to use ORCON® seam tapes and tools, contact GCP today.
