Hi-Shrink tape is a tough, flexible, heat shrinkable polyester tape. When wrapped around an object and heated, Hi-Shrink tape has the unique ability to shrink and apply pressure. This simple method of applying pressure is advantages in many industries, most specifically, the electrical, defense, and aerospace fields.
The compression force characteristics of Hi-Shrink tape make it an effective and useful tool for the molding and bonding of reinforced plastics. In addition, the tape can be used effectively for compressing, debulking, shaping, forming, and banding of various materials.
