Introduction
Adhesive strapping tapes like EAB, zinc oxide tape and kinesiology tape need to stick securely to be effective. Obviously, tape that peels off easily is no use. +44 0161 429 7330
Clean the area to be taped
Surface dirt and the natural oily secretions of your skin will interfere with the adhesion of the tape. Therefore the first step to achieving good stick is to properly clean the area to which you will apply the tape. +44 0161 429 7330
Trim back the hair
If the area you need to tape is very hairy, you’ll have two problems. Firstly, the hair will prevent full contact with the skin and thus weaken the adhesion. Secondly, the tape will be painful to remove later. +44 0161 429 7330
Use an under wrap
Underwrap is a thin foam that you can wrap around the area prior to taping. It provides an excellent surface to stick to. Generally, the tape adheres immediately and permanently to the underwrap. +44 0161 429 7330
Warm the tape
At warmer temperatures the adhesive on strapping tapes becomes more fluid and sticky. If you’ve ever left a roll of tape in a hot car and then tried to unwind it, you’ll know what we mean. +44 0161 429 7330
