.0014" 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 140 Series tapes were specifically designed for a customer in the high voltage coil industry. The .00140" thick tapes is the perfect compromise in tensile strength and cost. This tape comes in variable shrink percentages and with double sided or single sided release.
