How does Ooblock™ Athletic Tape bend the laws of physics?

How does Ooblock™ Athletic Tape bend the laws of physics?
Nanotechnology.
Ooblock™ is a nanotechnology-enhanced smart material that instantly shifts between flexible and hard.
It’s bonded with patented Shear Thickening Fluid (STF™)—the same used in next-generation military body armor.
At rest, Ooblock™ tape remains flexible for maximum range of motion.
But with force—like sudden twists or impacts—Ooblock™ tape stiffens like a brace—delivering 2X the shock protection and 10X the force deflection of regular athletic tape.
The harder you get hit—the tougher Ooblock™ gets
The harder you get hit—the tougher Ooblock™ gets
25,000 people suffer from ankle injuries alone every day.1
Sprains result in chronic pain and disability for millions per year.2
Taping can help to prevent or lessen the severity of injuries—it can also reduce the risk of re-injury by more than 50%.3,4
Ooblock™ tape is just as flexible as regular tape—but instantly stiffens for brace-like protection upon twists or impacts.
Silicone sealing resists sweat and water and makes Ooblock™ perform longer and stronger than regular athletic tape, which loses structural support after only 20 minutes.5
Heard enough already and want to try Ooblock™ out? You’ll be glad you did on game day.
