TransTape® Heat Shrink Tape
TransTape is a heat-shrink tape designed to repair and reinforce industrial, marine, and military protective covers. This specialty tape is both water-resistant and shrinkable, making it ideal for patching holes caused during the heat shrink process as well as repairing small rips, tears, and snags. TransTape can also be used to reinforce stress areas or assist in waterproofing seams. With easy heat gun application, this industrial heat shrink tape delivers reliable, lasting repairs and reinforcements.
Water-Resistant
The outer layer blocks water penetration, keeping your covers watertight and reducing the risk of corrosion underneath.
UV Protection
Reflects UV light to protect your equipment from sun damage during outdoor storage.
Shrinkable
When you apply heat with a heat gun, this heat-shrinkable tape conforms to the shape of your cover and bonds securely to the surface.
Corrosion Protection
Seals out moisture to prevent water from reaching metal surfaces, providing reliable corrosion protection.
Abrasion Resistant
Stands up to wear and friction, making it ideal for reinforcing high-stress areas on your covers.
Easy to Apply
No special tools or training needed. Clean the area, apply the tape, and heat it with a heat gun for a lasting repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heat-shrink tape repairs and reinforces protective covers. TransTape is designed to patch burns, holes, rips, and tears in Transhield covers. It also works well for reinforcing stress areas and sealing seams to improve watertightness.
You 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. This creates a tight, secure bond that seals out water and holds up over time.
Clean the repair area, place TransTape over the damage, and apply heat with a heat gun. The tape shrinks and bonds to the cover, creating a tight seal.
Yes. The outer layer blocks moisture and helps protect against corrosion underneath.
