Pre-tape spray is an adhesion enhancer applied to the skin before strapping tape to improve grip and prevent tape slippage during activity. The quick-dry formula creates a tacky surface on the skin that significantly improves the adhesion of zinc oxide tape, EAB, and kinesiology tape. The 4oz canister is professional-sized for sports therapy rooms, pitchside bags, and physiotherapy clinic deployment.
Compliance Summary: Pre-tape spray is a skin preparation product used in sports therapy and physiotherapy. It enhances tape adhesion without increasing skin irritation and is compatible with zinc oxide, EAB, and kinesiology tape applications.
When should I use pre-tape spray?
Use pre-tape spray before applying any strapping tape to improve adhesion - particularly on skin that is oily, sweaty, or has been treated with moisturiser. Spray lightly onto the skin area, allow 5 to 10 seconds to dry until tacky, then apply the tape. The improved adhesion is especially noticeable during competitive sport where perspiration loosens standard tape.
Can pre-tape spray be used on sensitive skin?
Pre-tape spray is generally well tolerated but may cause mild irritation on very sensitive skin. Test a small area first if you have known skin sensitivities. For sensitive skin, using underwrap beneath the tape may be preferable to pre-tape spray as an adhesion strategy.
