About Tear-Aid: The Gold Standard in Fabric and Vinyl Repair
Tear-Aid has been a trusted name in repair solutions since TEARepair Inc. was formed in 1998 and over the years has formed a strong foothold in the adhesives industry. Designed for anyone who refuses to throw away gear that can be saved, Tear-Aid patches are a staple in the kits of outdoor enthusiasts, boaters, campers, and homeowners alike.
Two Types for Every Repair Job
Tear-Aid's product line centers on two specialized patch types, each engineered for a specific class of material. Type A is built for a wide range of fabrics and hard surfaces. The TEAR-Aid Type A Fabric repair patch works on canvas, rubber, neoprene, nylon, most fabrics, plastics, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, non-oiled leather, Gore-Tex, acrylics, fiberglass, aluminum, polyester, Hypalon, and Dacron. Type B, on the other hand, is purpose-built for vinyl and PVC. The unique adhesive on Type B resists the oils in vinyl that cause other adhesives to soften and turn gummy in sunlight.
What Makes Tear-Aid Different
In a crowded market of repair products, Tear-Aid stands apart through engineering and material science. Tear-Aid is the highest quality repair patch on the market with the strongest tensile strength and adhesive characteristics — where other products can be torn by hand, Tear-Aid cannot be torn by hand. The patches are also air-tight and water-tight under pressure even when stretched, form an extreme bond right away, are abrasion resistant, and are UV resistant — they will not yellow for years.
One of Tear-Aid's most practical advantages is how it handles irregular or curved surfaces. Tear-Aid expands absorbing force on impact and always returns to its original shape and size, and this flexibility allows the patch to conform to irregular surfaces without restricting the movement of the repaired material. The see-through design means the see-through patch is specifically designed to be used with all colors and patterns, so repairs stay discreet on any gear.
No Mess, No Tools Required
Applying a Tear-Aid patch couldn't be simpler. There are no glue tubes or epoxy mixtures needed — it is a simple peel-and-stick repair patch. It can be cut easily to any size with scissors, and no heating or sewing is necessary. This makes it an ideal solution to keep aboard a boat, stowed in a camping pack, or stored in the garage for unexpected repairs to tarps, awnings, inflatables, and outdoor furniture.
American-Made Quality
One of Tear-Aid's many goals is to offer a solution for those in dire need of repairing a product and allow them to avoid the high costs of replacing it, striving to provide a product that can be used in a wide array of industries for long-lasting and reliable repairs. Tear-Aid repair patches are made in the U.S.A. to the highest quality and standards. Whether you are on a remote river, at a campsite, or in your backyard, a Tear-Aid patch is the reliable, professional-grade fix that lasts for the long haul.
