It's called 'adhesive lined heatshrink'. Yes, it's available, though a reel of the Good Stuff (Raychem) costs a small fortune. They also make custom boots to fit various standard connectors.
Probably best bought as surplus or from a trusted seller who bought reels from military, autosport or aircraft industries. The short lengths available on ebay are often inferior grades. A heatshrinking tape is also available. Hams tend to use self-amalgamating tape, as Phil recommended.
