.003" 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. A perfect step up in compaction force for demanding applications. Our 300 Series shrink tapes provide more tensile strength and come with/without a release coat

Product Description:

  • .003” (0.075mm) thick Polyester film
  • Available on 1.5” (38mm) ID or 3.0” (76mm ) ID cores
  • Standard widths of 0.5” (12mm) wide up to 2.5” (63.5mm) wide

Product Benefits

  • Good film for thicker walled composite parts
  • Applies low to moderate shrink force depending on shrink % that you specify
