What is zinc oxide tape used for?

Zinc Oxide Strapping can be applied to either restrict movement or completely immobilise joints following injury. It can also be used to help protect wounds, prevent blisters and protect hands and fingers in racket sports.

How do you apply zinc oxide tape?

Simply wrap the zinc oxide tape around the joint needing support then tear by hand. Ensure to overlap each layer slightly for proper support. If you have an injury, we recommend seeking professional advice.

Is zinc oxide tape reusable?

No, zinc oxide tape is designed for single-use. Once applied, it loses its adhesive over time, making it less effective for multiple uses. For hygiene and performance reasons, it’s recommended to use fresh tape for each application.

Is zinc oxide tape waterproof?

Zinc oxide tape is not fully waterproof, but it is water-resistant. It can handle moisture and sweat to some extent, but it may lose its adhesiveness in prolonged wet conditions.

What is the difference between white zinc oxide tape and tan zinc oxide tape?

The main difference is the strenght of the tape. White zinc oxide tape is made from a cotton/rayon fabric, is latex-free and provides a firm support. Tan zinc oxide tape is 100% rayon fabric and provides an extra rigid support and is water repellent.

Works great

My son uses this tape to strap around his ankles to stop heel blisters when playing football. It works really well.... wished we discovered it years ago. It sticks securely and stays put until time to remove. Reasonable value, there are cheaper ones but no point to waste money on an inferior product.
