Ships from Auckland, New Zealand. Health Wholesale is an Australian company, but this product is held in stock and dispatched from Auckland, so there are no international shipping delays or customs charges. Free shipping within New Zealand.

Intended for use by a trained practitioner, as the adhesive requires heat activation at 120–140°C.

Mediroyal NRX® Loop Heat Tape has a loop surface on top and heat-activated adhesive on the reverse. It extends loop function to areas that are difficult to stitch and can be used with thermoplastic and NRX Strap for additional reinforcement and stability.

Features

• Loop function on the top surface.
• Heat-activated adhesive backing for bonding materials.
• 50 mm wide × 5 metres long.
• Recommended adhesive activation temperature of 120–140°C, with an approximate setting time of 10 seconds.
• Can be applied using an iron with the steam function switched off or a heat press.

Suitable For

• Splint fabrication requiring heat-activated loop tape.
• Adding loop function to areas that are difficult to stitch.
• Laminating thermoplastic with NRX Strap for additional reinforcement and stability.

Application Notes

Always test the bond on a small piece first. The activation temperature and setting time may need adjusting depending on the material's surface and composition.

Cut the two materials to be bonded and place them side by side on a protective silicone baking sheet or Teflon paper. Cut the tape to the desired length, allowing a little extra because it may shrink during heating. Cover the strap and material with another silicone baking sheet or Teflon paper.

Set an iron or heat press to 120–140°C. If using an iron, switch off the steam function. Apply heat for about 10 seconds, then check the bond and extend the time if needed. Repeat the process on the reverse side for a strong bond.

Care

Follow the washing instructions for the main materials used.
