Abstract

The article focuses on the simultaneous influence of sealing technology factors: sealing temperature, sealing speed,
and roller pressure on the quality of the sealing seam, which is evaluated through the tensile strength, the elongation
of the sealing seam in the pre- and post-aging conditions and the waterproofing in the finishing process of office
raincoat from 100% polyester coated fabric. In this research, authors used orthogonal experimental design method,
Microsoft Excel 2010 and Design Expert 11.0 software to process and analyse experiment results. The result is
identified sealing technological factors having important effects on the waterproofing, the tensile strength, and the
elongation of the sealing seam, and the optimal sealing technology mode to improve the quality of bonding pieces'
surface, to increase the aesthetic and durability of the product before use, in the process used; save time and costs
in production. The result of this study is a useful guide in the actual production of raincoat garment enterprises in
general and the raincoat of 19-5 One Member Limited Liability Company in particular.
