C. Sherman Johnson Rigging Tape - White - 1" x 15'

The C. Sherman Johnson Rigging Tape in white is a self-amalgamating wrap engineered to protect personnel, equipment, and rigging from sharp edges and hazardous protrusions. Originally popularized in the 1970s, this 1-inch by 15-foot roll has become an industry standard across law enforcement, military, marine, and tactical operations where safety and durability are non-negotiable. Whether securing exposed cotter pins on load-bearing hardware or protecting lines and sails from abrasion, this tape delivers consistent performance in field conditions where conventional adhesive-backed products fail.

C. Sherman Johnson's self-amalgamating formulation bonds to itself without adhesive, creating a water-resistant seal that remains flexible under tension and temperature variation. As the tape is wrapped and stretched, the material fuses at overlap points, eliminating the need for heat, solvents, or additional fasteners—a critical advantage in wet environments or when quick field repairs are required. The white color provides high visibility for inventory tracking and safety protocols, while the 0.25-pound roll fits easily into tactical kits, first-aid packs, or equipment bags without adding bulk.

Military riggers, EOD technicians, climbing specialists, and maritime crews benefit most from this tape's reliability in extreme conditions where adhesive-dependent products degrade. It conforms to irregular surfaces—anchor points, carabiner edges, weapon slings, and equipment corners—providing cushioning that reduces wear on adjacent materials. The 15-foot length accommodates multiple applications per roll, making it cost-effective for team operations and ongoing maintenance programs. Compatible with metal, rope, canvas, and synthetic materials, this tape requires no special installation—simply wrap, overlap slightly, and stretch to activate the self-fusing bond.
