A 2-inch black cloth tape (commonly referred to as standard black gaffer or cloth duct tape) is a versatile, heavy-duty pressure-sensitive adhesive tape featuring a polyethylene-coated woven cloth backing. Formulated with a synthetic rubber adhesive, it delivers strong tack and high shear strength across smooth, rough, or irregular surfaces while tearing easily by hand along both axes. Its standard 2-inch (50mm) width and non-reflective matte finish make it ideal for general site maintenance, temporary wiring containment, seam sealing, and heavy-duty bundling applications where clean removal and low visual visibility are required.
