Tooling & Vacuum Bagging Processing

Flash/Release/Shrink Tapes
Flash tape is used for joining, masking or protection. Flash tapes have good mechanical properties and chemical resistance.  

Shrink tape is modified polyester, which when heated undergoes shrinkage in the length wise direction only. This characteristic is used to consolidate mandrel wound composite preforms and uncured rubbers, to form high quality low void components.  The shrink tape is fastened with adhesive flash tape, and spiral wound along the component.
