The T-patch is a .020" aluminum sheet with a self-adhesive backing available in various sizes and finishes of natural satin and gloss polar white. Refer to the Availability section for use and standard sizes.

The Problem

After years of experimenting with various components and adhesives, Simon developed a self-adhesive aluminum patch that produced exactly what he was looking for, the T-Patch. Quick and simple to apply, Holes, punctures, and tears in trailer and container siding, roofs, and front radius are a big drain on resources. Minor damages from scrapes, skids, forklifts, and road hazards result in major delays, repair costs, idle equipment, and damaged cargo. Conventional permanent fixes take time and money to repair due to the need for special equipment and labor skills. Temporary fixes are aesthetically and structurally inferior and don’t solve the problem, they are only temporary solutions!

The Challenge

Develop a trailer patch that has the following characteristics:

  • Resists corrosion and provides a permanent waterproof repair – stands up to inclement weather.
  • Economical to buy and apply.
  • Simple enough to be applied by anyone.
  • Pliable enough to mold around curves and sharp bends, but structurally sound.
  • Time tested and proven reliable.

The Solution

T Development and Sales came up with a simple but effective solution, the T-patch! An aluminum, self-adhesive patch for trailers, containers, and virtually anything with a hole or tear.

  • Permanent and waterproof.
  • The aluminum sheeting, lined with an integrated layer of closed foam adhesive, provides a permanent and waterproof bond.
  • Economical and easy to apply.
  • The patches come ready-to-apply immediately, with no need for rivets, special tools, or skills. Just peel back to expose the adhesive and apply in a fraction of the time of other typical riveted patches.
  • Structurally sound yet moldable.
  • The aluminum sheeting can be cut to fit the desired size and can be bent or molded to fit around sharp angles and curves without expensive tooling, yet provides a rigid cover over the affected area.
  • Time-tested and proven reliable.
  • The T-Patch was developed over 40 years ago and has endured the test of time, while other “fads and gimmicks” have faded away.
