PSP Mylar Repair Tape

Product Information

Due to its chemical and physical properties, Mylar A offers a number of advantages over traditional materials. Condition the material for at least two days before removing the moisture-resistant residue from the packaging. Tapes are particularly helpful if you want to quickly repair your sails while you’re cruising, along with the help of Dacron or Ripstop sailcloth. Mylar Repair Tape: This is a transparent, high clarity UV and saltwater resistant tape for repairs to sail windows and mylar sails. When the sail is trimmed correctly the leeward tell-tale should stretch evenly backward and the windward tell-tale should be slightly lifted.

Physical properties include various parameters such as tensile strength, elongation, surface roughness, density, modulus and total yield strength. Due to the very good dielectric strength, the material is used as a cover slide and slot insulation in electric motors and generators. Over time, where some films can harden with age, Mylar® A films remain flexible while remaining resistant to moisture. emergency blankets – The most important application of Mylar A is in rescue blankets due to its insulating properties.

I personally don’t prefer this tape because if your sails are white the patch will look sloppy with this black tape. Often Mylar A is coated or similarly treated on one or both sides to enhance its various properties. We advise on the selection of the right material and manufacture precision parts from flexible and rigid materials.Kite Tape: A tear-resistant adhesive rip-stop nylon that comes in many different colors and within a roll of 150mm width.
