Athletic Tape | Rigid Strapping Sports Tape with Strong Zinc Oxide Adhesive

Construction and Adhesive Options
- Fabric: Cotton or rayon cloth for high tensile strength and minimal stretch.
- Adhesive systems:
- Zinc-oxide, natural rubber-based adhesive for classic holding power.
- Latex-free synthetic or acrylic adhesive options for latex-sensitive environments.
- Edge style: Serrated edges for hand tear; straight edges available.

Key Advantages
- Firm, reliable support: Non-elastic construction for controlled restriction and stabilization.
- Strong adhesion: Maintains hold under sweat and movement with proper surface prep.
- High tensile strength: Resists tearing and maintains support during intense activity.
- Sweat and friction resistance: Porous constructions available for better breathability.
- Clean unwind and hand tear: Fast application on the sidelines or in clinic settings.
- Layer compatibility: Works with underwraps and adhesive sprays for tailored taping systems.
- Customization: Widths, lengths, colors, and private-label packaging available.

Applications
- Sports Medicine: Ankle, knee, wrist, and finger taping protocols to support joints during activity.
- Teams and Clubs: Pre-training and game-day taping by athletic trainers and physios.
- Clinics and Rehab: Post-injury support strategies under professional guidance.
- Equipment and Grip: Temporary reinforcement and grip enhancement where rigid tape is preferred.

Specifications and Options
- Widths: 1 in (2.5 cm), 1.5 in (3.8 cm), 2 in (5 cm); other widths available.
- Lengths: Commonly 10–15 yd rolls (9–13.7 m) and clinic-length bulk rolls.
- Fabric: Cotton for breathability; rayon for extra strength and moisture tolerance.
- Adhesive: Zinc oxide with natural rubber; or latex-free synthetic/acrylic variants.
- Porosity: Porous (breathable) and non-porous versions.
- Edge: Serrated for easy tear; straight for precise edges.
- Colors: White, tan, black; team colors on request.
- Packaging: Individual rolls, multi-packs, trainer’s kits, and retail boxes; private labels supported.
- Shelf life: Typically up to 3 years in cool, dry storage (verify on label).

Quality and Safety
- Latex-free options: Available for facilities with latex-safe policies.
- Consistency: Tight control of adhesive coat weight, unwind, and adhesion-to-cloth for repeatable performance.
- Documentation: Technical data and material information available upon request.

Use Guidance
- Surface prep: Clean, dry skin; consider pre-tape spray and underwrap for comfort and removal.
- Application: Apply by trained staff using appropriate taping techniques for the target joint.
- Removal: Use tape remover or carefully peel; avoid sudden removal on sensitive skin.

FAQs
- Is the adhesive latex-free? Both traditional and latex-free formulas are available. Specify your requirement when ordering.
- What is the difference vs kinesiology tape? Athletic tape is rigid for restriction; kinesiology tape is elastic for movement-friendly support.
- Will it leave residue? Residue depends on skin prep and wear time. Underwrap and removers can reduce residue.
