Intertape Polymer Group 5638BLK Gaffers Tape 11.5 Mil

Product Description

The INTERTAPE POLYMER GROUP 5638BLK is an 11.5 mil gaffers tape designed for temporary cable management, wire securing, and general stabilization tasks on stage, in theatres, and across other professional work environments. The tape is constructed with a vinyl-impregnated cotton cloth base and a high thread count that resists tearing while still allowing clean removal. The matte black finish eliminates glare under stage lighting, making it well-suited for production environments where reflective surfaces are a problem. It is rated for all-weather use, making it a reliable option for both indoor and outdoor applications. Electricians, AV technicians, riggers, and stage crew regularly reach for this tape during setup and strike.

The 5638BLK is used primarily in stage, theatrical, broadcast, and live event production settings. Its temporary-hold design means it can secure cables, power cords, and other items to floors or surfaces without leaving adhesive residue behind after removal. It is also used in trade and commercial settings where a clean, removable tape solution is needed for temporary cable runs or surface protection. The 1.88-inch width and 60-yard length per roll make it practical for covering long cable runs or repeated use across a job site.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and cleanest removal. When securing cables to floors in public or high-traffic areas, ensure the tape edges are fully pressed down to prevent trip hazards. Remove tape promptly after use to minimize any surface interaction, particularly on painted or finished surfaces. No special tools are required for application or removal.
