High shrink tape is used to compress composite laminates during cure. As the tape is heated, it shrinks tightly around the part, applying consistent pressure without the need for clamps or vacuum systems.
The tape is release-coated on one side, allowing it to be removed cleanly after cure.
—
Features:
    • High shrink rate provides strong consolidation during cure
    • Applies even pressure without vacuum bagging
    • Self-releasing for easy removal after cure
  • Suitable for use on tubes, rods and wrapped components
—
Quick Tips:
  • Apply with an overlap of around a third ensuring even pressure
  • Heat gradually using a heat gun, hair dryer or composites oven
  • Remove after full cure once the part has cooled
