Teflon tape ((PTFE Tapes) Preventing the sticking and tearing of welding seam in the welding process The Clesana C1 is the first mobile waterless toilet which operates based on the bag-welding principle. After each toilet trip the toilet welds the toilet content in a separate foil bag. The foil bag is made of a multiple-folded continuous foil, the foil liner, previously mounted on the foil cassette (2) and is inserted in the foil compartment (3). The foil bag replicates a toilet bowel. Once the flushing process is triggered via the control panel (4) the toilet pulls the foil from the foil cassette (2) automatically, welds it and prepares for the next use of the toilet.
