Hi-Shrink tape perforated 1" + 2.5"/ 91.4 m

The shrink tape is a robust, flexible, heat-shrinkable polyester film. It has been perforated with punched holes on 1/4" staggered centers. Perforated Hi-Shrink tape retains all of the features of the standard Hi-Shrink tape, but the added perforations enhance excess resin to be removed. When wrapped around an object and heated, the Hi-Shrink tape starts to shrink and applies pressure to the underlying laminate. Ideally suited for making composites tubes (with the aid of appropriate mandrels).

Product benefits

• Simple way to apply compaction for debulking, consolidating, and forming
• Enables evacuation of excess resin (as well as of volatile compounds)
• Gives your part a high gloss and resin rich surface finish
• High performance release coating (non-silicone)
• Enables multiple methods for adjusting compressive force on the part
