The Cloth Tape (Matt) – Gaffer Lusterless matte finish is a versatile and indispensable tool designed for the TV, photography, and theatrical industries. It excels in securing wiring, lighting, and stage props in place, thanks to its non-reflective, low gloss carrier which eliminates unwanted reflections and glare during shooting or stage performances. This makes it an ideal choice for bookbinding as well. Constructed with a polyethylene-coated cloth carrier, this tape is renowned for its durability and ability to withstand heavy use. It is equipped with a natural rubber adhesive that ensures high tack and excellent adhesion, contributing to its superior performance in various settings. Despite its strong bonding qualities, the tape is engineered for clean removal, leaving no residue behind, a crucial aspect in industries where frequent repositioning or removal is common. Key specifications of the tape include a total thickness allowance with a variance of +/- 10%, ensuring robustness in its application. It is best applied within a temperature range of 20°C to 25°C, making it suitable for most indoor environments. The tape is also resistant to temperatures up to 60°C, adding to its versatility. Its strong initial bonding strength is indicated by a 180° peel adhesion on steel of ≥10N/25mm, and its tensile strength of ≥50N/25mm highlights its ability to withstand pulling and stress. With an elongation of ≤10%, the tape offers flexibility without overstretching. Recommended storage for the tape is in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, with a shelf life of up to 12 months to preserve its quality. Available in various colors such as Black, White, Red, Blue, and Yellow, the tape meets both aesthetic and functional needs. The vinyl-coated waterproof cloth construction enhances its conformability, making it easy to apply on a variety of surfaces.
