TransTape® Heat Shrink Tape
TransTape is a heat shrink adhesive tape made to repair and reinforce industrial, marine, and military protective covers. This shrinkable tape is water-resistant and heavy-duty, which makes it a strong fit for patching holes left during the heat shrink process, along with small rips, tears, and snags. It works across a wide range of covers, and you can also use it to reinforce stress areas or help seal seams against water. This heat shrink wrap tape delivers reliable, lasting repairs, which makes it an essential tool for keeping covers in service.
Water-Resistant
The outer layer blocks water penetration, which keeps covers watertight and lowers the risk of corrosion underneath.
UV Protection
The tape reflects UV light to protect equipment from sun damage during outdoor storage.
Shrinkable
Heating the tape with a heat gun makes it conform to the shape of your cover, then bond securely to the surface for a tight seal.
Corrosion Protection
Sealing out moisture stops water from reaching metal surfaces,, and gives you reliable corrosion protection.
Abrasion Resistant
The tape stands up to wear and friction, which suits it for reinforcing high-stress areas that face mechanical stresses on your covers.
Easy to Apply
No special tools or training needed. Wipe the area down to a clean, dry surface, apply the tape, and heat it with a heat gun for a lasting repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heat-shrink adhesive tape repairs and reinforces protective covers. TransTape patches burns, holes, rips, and tears in Transhield covers, and it also works for reinforcing stress areas and sealing seams to improve watertightness.
Apply the tape to the damaged area and heat it with a heat gun. As it reaches shrink temperature, the tape contracts and conforms to the surface. That forms a tight, secure bond that seals out water and holds up over time.
Clean the repair area so the surface is dry and place TransTape over the damage, pressing it firmly into place. The tape is shrinkable, so adding heat helps it contract and bond tightly to the cover, but it forms a secure, water-sealing bond either way.
Yes. The outer layer blocks moisture and helps protect against corrosion underneath.
No. TransTape is made for repairing and reinforcing equipment covers. It is not designed for cable or pipe applications, and heat shrink tubing is the right product for wire and electrical work.
