ABSTRACT:
A seam and method for forming such seam to join pieces of synthetic turf material together are disclosed. In the disclosed method, edges of synthetic turf material, having a polymeric backing thereon, are abutted together and the abutted edges are positioned over a reinforcing tape material. The reinforcing tape material is a fabric strip that is coated with a polymeric material that is substantially the same as the polymeric material forming the backing of the synthetic turf. A volatile solvent material, capable of dissolving the polymeric material forming the backing of the synthetic turf, and the coating on the reinforcing tape is thereafter applied to at least a portion of the abutted edges and the adjacent surface of the reinforcing tape. Pressure is applied to urge the abutted edges into contact with the surface of the reinforcing tape and the volatile solvent is allowed to evaporate, thereby forming the seam, having improved structural properties.
