Kraken Tape

Kraken Swimming Pool Repair Tape 

Kraken Tape is non-sticky to the touch and actually fuses to itself creating a permanent, durable and flexible seal. Up to an incredible 700psi tensile strength*, 7,000 volts (per 0.51mm) dielectric strength* and thermal stability ranging from -65C to 260C*> Kraken Tape can get you out of almost any difficult situation. * Please note, test certificates and data sheet are available on request. We strongly reommend ready all instruction and data sheets fully before any application.

KRAKEN TAPE DIRECTIONS

1) Wrap Kraken Tape® around project by stretching and overlapping onto itself. Stretch at least double to ensure a good bond, for high pressure leaks stretch to maximum amount. The tighter Kraken Tape® is wrapped, the quicker and stronger the bond.

2) Continue wrapping Kraken Tape® around project by overlapping 50% onto itself so that ½ the width is covered with the next wrap. The first and last wrap should completely overlap onto the previous wrap for complete bond. Additional layers may be necessary, and the same process should be used over the previous layers. Kraken Tape® works on either side.

3) Repositioning Kraken Tape® is only appropriate in the first few seconds after wrapping. Attempting to reposition Kraken Tape® after 1 Minute or longer is not recommended. Kraken Tape® is not reusable; however, additional Kraken Tape® can be applied over project at any time in the future.

Additional Suggestions:
      
For high pressure leaks, additional wrapping may be required. Most hose repairs can be repaired with 3 to 5 layers in thickness, and wrapping 75mm to 125mm in each direction away from the leak, however additional strength can be added simply by wrapping more Kraken Tape®.

Kraken Tape® has essentially a “maximum” stretch. It is important to stretch Kraken Tape® to its maximum to avoid having the leak create a “bubble”.

For electrical wiring it is not necessary to stretch tightly. In fact, it will be more resilient to abrasion when is not stretched as tightly.
