HOW TO TAPE UP

Depending on the application, using ZINC OXIDE tape is not complicated but it does take practice. Always seek professional advice. Then tape up and re-test until you're happy.

HOW DOES ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE WORK?

ZINC OXIDE tapes are the go-to tape for providing support and protection. Here's how they manage to keep you safe and handle the demands of sport.

Zinc-Oxide-3.8cm-x-10m-Tan-3-Rolls
IMMOBILISATION

Strapping tapes like ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE are inelastic, which means they don’t stretch. You can use this rigidity to help restrict and prevent painful movements, or movements that may cause further injury.

SUPPORT

The rigid nature of ZINC OXIDE tapes means they can be used to provide structural support to muscles and joints, acting as external slings that protect or reposition muscles and joints.

PROTECTION

ZINC OXIDE tapes can provide protection for your skin and joints, especially when grappling, climbing or weightlifting. Using ZINC OXIDE tape reduces the risk of dislocations, blisters, calluses, grazes and cuts.

HOW DOES ZINC OXIDE TAPE WORK?

ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE is non-stretchy, has high tensile strength, strong adhesion and conforms to the skin. Because it doesn’t stretch, it is perfect for immobilising joints or creating changes in muscle, or joint position.

Learn more about each type of tape, and how to use it on our SPORTTAPE Ecademy online course: Taping & Strapping for Sport.

IS ZINC OXIDE TAPE GOOD FOR BLISTERS?

ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE is a great option if you want to reduce the risk of blisters. Read our blog now and discover how it has been used by ultra distance runners with great effect.

It works by preventing your shoe or sock from rubbing directly against the skin. It is incredibly sticky, but also lightweight and breathable. This means that moisture passes through the tape and prevents blisters from forming due to excess moisture around the foot.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ZINC OXIDE WHITE AND ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE?

ZINC OXIDE TAN is made from a rayon cloth, which provides unrivalled tensile strength. It is 3x stronger and more durable than ZINC OXIDE WHITE, which is made from an organic cotton cloth. Cotton is more lightweight, pliable and comfortable to wear.

The tape you choose should be based on budget, joint size and the purpose of the taping application.

WHAT WIDTH ZINC OXIDE TAPE SHOULD I USE?

Our ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE comes in 2 sizes; 3.8CM & 5CM

3.8CM – The most commonly used size of ZINC OXIDE TAPE. Perfect for ankle, wrist and knee taping.

5CM – For large joints. Knees and shoulder taping. In which case it is often used in conjunction with EAB TAPE.

CAN ZINC OXIDE TAPE BE RE-USED?

Unfortunately ZINC OXIDE TAPE is for single use only.

IS ZINC OXIDE TAPE WATERPROOF?

ZINC OXIDE TAPE is not waterproof but it is water resistant. However, unlike other tapes, our glue is laid to make sure the tape is porous, allowing the skin to breath and moisture to wick away more easily.

As a result it is more suited to withstand the demands of sport. Our ZINC OXIDE TAPE has been used by water sports athletes with great success.

I’M ALLERGIC TO ELASTOPLAST, WILL I GET A REACTION TO ZINC OXIDE TAPE?

Our ZINC OXIDE glues don’t contain any colophony or rosin, which are the normal irritants for anyone with an Elastoplast allergy.

However, we would recommend that anyone with an Elastoplast allergy trials a small test patch before using ZINC OXIDE TAPE as the skin sensitivity may disagree with any kind of adhesive against it.

WHAT IS THE BEST TAPE FOR ANKLE STRAPPING?

ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE is a no brainer when it comes to ankle strapping due to its high tensile strength and no stretch. Here’s how you can tape your ankle for added protection.

Zinc Oxide Tape Review

My son who is a goalkeeper and broke his wrist when he was younger swears by this tape to prevent any further injuries to his wrists. Thanks to the Zinc Oxide tape he has thankfully avoided any reoccurrence of wrist injuries and is now signed professionally by an Irish league football club.
