HydroTape™ is a hydrogel breaching tape developed in collaboration with the producers of Hydrogel, for charge attachment on dirty, dusty, and wet surfaces where conventional adhesive tapes fail to hold. A woven core and peel-off release liner make it easy to apply with gloved hands; the hydrogel adhesive repositions cleanly multiple times without losing adhesion. Available in 50mm (standard) and 100mm (wide).   Both tapes share a datasheet. Covered in our Explosive Breaching & MoE training.

Holds on dirty, wet, and dusty surfaces where conventional adhesive tapes and Breacher's Tape™ lose grip

Repositionable multiple times without loss of adhesion, for charge adjustment on the approach

Woven core and release liner for controlled, glove-compatible application with no stretch

Two widths: 50mm (standard) and 100mm for wider charge profiles and larger surface areas

Tested against competitors, outperforming conventional tapes on challenging surfaces
