Product Information

Our K TAPE glues don’t contain any colophony or rosin, which are the normal irritants for anyone with an Elastoplast allergy. Although they are both elastic compression bandages, COHESIVE and EAB serve 2 very different purposes and have very different properties. The outside of COHESIVE BANDAGE is coated with a water-resistant layer which allows it to repel water whilst maintaining it’s breathability. It can be worn safely in wet conditions without losing it’s adherence, but should not be submerged in water for long periods of time as only the outside of the roll is water resistant. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COHESIVE & EAB? If you don’t apply to the correct area then the tape will have little or no affect, so you won’t do any harm to yourself.

Neither EAB or TEARABLE EAB is waterproof. However they are both breathable and water resistant, meaning that it will survive a heavy down pour during a match but they can not be used for water sports. WHAT TAPE SHOULD I USE FOR THUMB TAPINGThe 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? Unfortunately kinesiology tape is designed for single use only. Should I shave before applying K TAPE? Using EAB around the ears also helps to reduce the chances of sustaining a cut or tear on the ear by securing the ear to the side of the head. HOW DO I REMOVE ELASTIC EAB?

Our K TAPE can last up to 5 days. However, the greatest effects of kinesiology tape are felt within the first 24 hours of wear. However, because the bandage is self-adhesive it can easily roll and fold into various shapes that can very time consuming to unravel. IS COHESIVE BANDAGE WATERPOOF? FIXATION TAPE is not waterproof. However it is highly porous, meaning that it will survive a heavy down pour during a match but they can not be used for water sports or any time where the tape will be submerged in water. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I APPLY FIXATION TAPE INCORRECTLY?You should use FIXATION TAPE anytime you are applying ZINC OXIDE TAPE to an area where there is a lot of joint movement. FIXATION TAPE acts as a protective barrier between your skin and the aggressive glue used on strapping tapes. It’s very porous, so allows your skin to breathe and your applications to be less affected by sweat. HOW LONG DOES FIXATION TAPE LAST? 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? Is most commonly used as a compression bandage in non-sporting settings. CAN COHESIVE BANDAGE BE RE-USED? However, the majority of ‘reactions’ to kinesiology tape are actually skin irritations caused by an over-stretching of the tape, or excessive friction on the skin due to a poor application. So, be careful not to put too much stretch on the tape and ALWAYS apply a test strip if using our K TAPE for the first time. Can I apply Kinesiology Tape myself?
