Product Description
Overview
The KUPO GTM-550B Matte Gaffa Tape is built for production work where standard glossy tape can catch the light. Its matte-finish cloth backing keeps quick fixes, marks, and edge control less reflective under stage and camera lighting, while the natural rubber adhesive gives crews the grip they expect from a gaffa tape.
Why It Matters
Black matte tape is the everyday choice for hiding small fixes, killing reflections, and controlling edges around camera-facing gear. The longer 50 mm roll suits that work without changing the practical behavior crews need: hand-tear convenience, a stable cloth feel, and clean removal after the shot, show, or setup is finished.
Key Features
- Black matte-finish cloth backing helps reduce visible glare
- 48 mm width with 50 mm roll length
- Natural rubber adhesive provides dependable temporary hold
- Non-transferring removal lifts cleanly with no residue
- Heat resistance rated at 80 °C / 180 min
Applications
GTM-550B is suited to photography, motion picture, television, theatre, and stage work where tape may sit close to fixtures, lens edges, prop edges, set pieces, cable paths, or camera-facing surfaces.
Compatibility
Apply GTM-550B to suitable smooth, rough, or irregular surfaces. Test first on delicate paint, freshly finished materials, antique surfaces, or anything with a finish that cannot be risked.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use GTM-550B instead of standard gaffa tape?
Use it when the tape may be seen by camera or stage light and a matte, lower-glare finish is more important than a regular surface sheen.
Can this tape be torn by hand?
Yes. It uses a cloth gaffa tape construction that is intended for quick hand-tear use during setup and strike.
What does the black color help with?
Black gives crews a deliberate visual choice for marking, hiding, matching, or identifying surfaces while keeping the top finish matte.
