The secret behind Ooblock's formulation is a peculiar milky white emulsion called shear thickening fluid, or STF. When under stress, the nano-particles in Ooblock (STF) lock together in hydroclusters, forming a stiff molecular wall. This two-way transition happens within a millisecond so no flexibility is lost, but the protection is always there. Under normal activity, Ooblock Athletic Tape looks and feels like regular athletic tape. But with Ooblock infused into the cotton fibers of the athletic tape, when a stress or force occurs, like sudden twists or collisions, the patented* science behind Ooblock STF kicks in bracing against injury. *U.S. Patent No. 8,679,047 and No. 9,193,890 and patent pending
