Black gaffers tape is a strong, durable, and flexible type of adhesive tape that is commonly used in the entertainment industry, particularly in theater, film, and television production. It is also known as gaffer tape or gaff tape. This tape is designed to be non-reflective and easily removable without leaving residue or damaging surfaces.
Black gaffers tape is a cloth tape that has a non-reflective, matte finish. This type of gaffers tape is designed to minimize light reflection, making it ideal for use in stage and film productions where light glare needs to be reduced or eliminated.
Matte black gaffer tape consists of a PE-coated 80-mesh fabric backing coated with a pressure-sensitive natural rubber adhesive. The combination between the very matte surface of the backing and the black adhesive makes it the ideal tape for subtle applications on stages. Matte gaffer tape features light-absorbing, non-reflective, good adhesion, even on rough surfaces, abrasion resistant, water repellent, conformable, easy to remove, and provides a very good protection from dust and dirt.
On stages, using black gaffers tape can provide black edges to tables, chairs, and other props; It can be used to hide cables from the view of the audience or camera; and soften clattering noises of shoes on stage; and it is used to fasten props on shelves in a moving set.
On-stage/back-stage taping in theatre, opera, cinema and music halls to prevent reflection of light, splicing of dance floors, securing of cables, fixing or holding of wires and cables on stages or on film sets, covering of shiny and glossy surfaces, and sealing of joints.
