Reach New Production Heights with Dunstone

Whether your aerospace component utilizes prepregs, towpregs, filament winding, or bladder or mandrel tooling, our Hi-Shrink Tape and Hi-Shrink Tubing will help you achieve consistent part quality, avoid unwanted defects such as voids, and streamline overall manufacturing processes. In many cases, our tapes help to reduce material costs due to their compression strength and industry-leading thinness.

Our materials can also be applied in numerous ways — from use on high-volume automated systems such as traverse winders to fine-tuned hand application for low-volume production. We recognize that streamlining throughput is essential, which is why we’ve designed it as a comparable — and in many cases, superior — solution to common production methods such as autoclaves and vacuum bagging.
