.001" Heat Shrink Polyester Tape

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. Our 100 series heat shrink films are the thinnest on the market. These are ideal for applications that don't require much force and increased yield and cost savings are of utmost importance.
