Hi-Shrink Tape is a tough, flexible, heat shrinkable polyester film.

When wrapped around an object and heated, Hi-Shrink Tape has the unique ability to shrink and apply pressure to the surface of composite parts. This simple method of pressure application is used to advantage in many industries. The 200 Series tapes are the most common product used in a wide variety of applications for composite tubing ranging from 1" diameter up to over 36" diameter. 220R specifically is our swiss army knife.
