Product Description

ISC X-Flex Crash Repair Racers Tape is a large sheet of crash repair tape designed for that quick racing repair to get your car back on the track after an accident. Unlike other body repair patches, X-Flex is reinforced with a layer of aluminum, making it very durable and strong. This tape is widely used in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series races. X-Flex Racers Tape has a highly aggressive butyl rubber adhesive that will adhere to any clean surface. X-Flex comes in either 11-inch x 15-inch patches for short track or in 11-inch x 30-inch patches for NASCAR. Available colors are black, white, blue, yellow and red.

Please note since X-Flex is paint applied to a reinforced aluminum backing you will sometimes see areas of the silver aluminum underneath the paint. These patches are designed for short-term patch repair however and during that time should still look aesthetically pleasing. Also, the wide width aluminum/butyl rubber combo is extremely difficult to work with and causes wrinkles and gaps in the release liner when the liner is put back on to the tape after the aluminum backing is painted, but it should not affect the performance of the product. Country of Origin: United States.

Application Instructions

For best results, it needs to be warm when applied. If it is below say 60 degrees Fahrenheit it is best to heat it the tape up with a heat gun/hairdryer before applying. The warmer it is out the better. In cold temperatures, the tape is stiff and does not have much adhesion. But when warmed up it is super sticky. Also like all tapes, the surface must be clean of dirt/grease/oil, etc.
* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

Fantastic product... very satisfied..!!! Thanks
Made in the USA
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
