your seals with our shrink adhesives
Efficiency of our shrink adhesives
Our range of shrink tape enables you to hold your film in place before sealing, and also to secure certain fragile areas of the film. These adhesives are specially designed to offer optimum adhesion and exceptional strength, even under the most demanding conditions. Whether you’re working in an industrial environment or in harsh outdoor conditions, you can rely on our shrink adhesives to deliver reliable, consistent performance.
The quality of the adhesive shrink tape used in our products is a key factor in their effectiveness. This adhesive mass is formulated to resist heat and ensure a strong, long-lasting bond. The polyethylene backing gives the adhesive tape extra strength, so you can work with confidence, whatever the situation. Thanks to this combination of high-quality materials, our shrink adhesives tape offer a practical, high-performance solution for securing films before and after sealing.
Shrink tape is distinguished by its ability to withstand heat, but it’s important to note that it doesn’t have the same properties as shrink film. Indeed, although it is designed to withstand high temperatures, it cannot withstand as much heat as shrink film itself. This distinction is essential to understanding the optimal use of adhesive shrink tape. As an indispensable tool, it greatly facilitates the preparation and finishing of your films, ensuring precise and secure placement.

of our shrink
adhesives
To make our shrink-wrap adhesives even easier to use, we’ve upgraded them. Our adhesive rolls are now perforated. No more need for a utility knife—this pre-cutting makes it easy to tear by hand.
Our shrink-wrap adhesives are available in two widths. To incorporate the perforations, the widths have been adjusted to 48 mm (instead of 50 mm) and 96 mm (instead of 100 mm). The roll length remains unchanged.
These two widths give you the flexibility to meet a variety of specific needs in your shrink-wrapping work. The 48 mm option is particularly suitable for holding the film in place before welding and for securing ventilation grids. Thanks to its narrower width, it allows precise, efficient application that keeps the film perfectly positioned until the final weld.
By contrast, the 96 mm option is a versatile solution for more demanding tasks. It’s ideal for masking any holes in the film after shrinking, ensuring continuous protection of your product. This width also lets you reinforce the film over protruding areas where additional tension may occur, and firmly attach zip doors. The 96 mm adhesive also plays a crucial role in securing weld zones, especially when the wrapped product is exposed to harsh weather conditions such as high winds. Its extra width provides better coverage and stronger hold, reducing the risk of damage.
One notable feature of our shrink-wrap adhesives is that they can be easily repositioned within the first few minutes after application. This flexibility lets you adjust placement for optimal positioning without compromising bond quality. However, after around fifteen minutes, the adhesive becomes more difficult to remove, ensuring a durable, secure hold. We’ve strengthened the adhesive tack to be even more effective once applied.
To maximize performance, it’s essential to apply our shrink-wrap adhesives to a clean, dry surface. We recommend thoroughly cleaning contact areas to improve adhesion and ensure an optimal bond. By following these precautions, you’ll get the most from our adhesives, achieving flawless film shrinkage and enhanced protection for your products.
