Premier Tapes are featuring Gaffer tapes this month. Gaffer tapes are available in two varieties - fluorescent cloth duct tape and general-purpose cloth tapes. These tapes are perfect for bundling and wrapping of aluminium, stainless steel and other materials.

Gaffer tapes have a cloth core and very strong adhesive properties, which make them easy to cut by hand without using blades. They are usually made from vinyl or strong and durable cotton cloth. Gaffers are pressure sensitive, and once they are pressed into place, they produce a strong adhesive bond. The adhesive used in this tape is a synthetic, petroleum-based substance.

These tapes can be torn lengthwise too to create smaller widths. They are used for adhoc repairs. They provide protection for the edges of various substrates during transit. They are also used for temporarily holding down cables on the floor. They can also be used for floor splicing and bundling of cables. Moreover, they are heat resistant and can be easily removed without leaving any residue.

Gaffer tapes are among the favourite tools used in the entertainment business. They are indispensable for stagecraft and putting up seamless performances. These tapes are available in matte black and a range of colours. When equipment needs to be colour coded or marked these tapes are the best to use. Marking of stairs, sets and exits for safety purposes are easy with Gaffer tapes.

These tapes cost more than duct tapes since they are manufactured in lesser quantities and are made to exacting specifications. Besides this, they are predominantly marketed for professional use. Varieties of this type of tape include PC136, the useful general purpose cloth or duct tape, and PC618, the fluorescent cloth tape. They are available in widths of 12mm to 1000mm. They also have good heat resistance up to 85°C.

Besides, their excellent use in bonding or repairing things, they are perfect for moulding the shape of a funky piece of jewellery, a unique wallet or even a collage.
