When wrapped around a part, our heat shrink tape is designed to constrict and squeeze the underlying structure as heat is applied, typically during a curing process. The compressive force generated by the shrinking of the tape is enough to consolidate or laminate multiple layers of material. Shrink tape is used as an alternative to vacuum bagging or autoclaving parts, though it can be used in conjunction with both methods. Shrink tape is available in release coated(R) and non-release coated versions(S).
