In fields like film production, stage setup, and exhibition design—where "long-lasting adhesion" and "environmental adaptability" are critical—a tape that sticks firmly to rough or even oily surfaces while maintaining visual discretion is a must-have for professionals. Today, we’ll dive deep into this new Gaffer Tape launched by Yongguan.
With its core configuration of "cloth-based material + eco-friendly hot melt adhesive," it breaks through the limits of long-term durability on rough and oily surfaces. Combined with matte anti-reflective properties and high tensile strength, it has become a game-changing solution for film, exhibition, and stage scenarios.
As a well-known brand in China’s tape industry, Yongguan has focused on the R&D and production of adhesive products for years. Driven by "technological innovation + reliable quality" as its core competitiveness, it has built a solid reputation in both industrial and civil tape markets. This new Gaffer Tape is Yongguan’s targeted layout for professional film, stage, and exhibition sectors. It aims to provide professionals with "more durable, more professional, and more eco-friendly" adhesive solutions through material and process innovation.
Originating from the film industry, Gaffer Tape is a professional tape with a high-strength cloth base as the substrate, paired with a special adhesive. Unlike ordinary tapes, it needs to maintain long-term adhesion in complex on-set environments (e.g., rough prop surfaces, slightly oily equipment areas) while meeting professional requirements like "no residue when peeled off" and "low visual interference."

The core breakthrough of Yongguan’s new product lies in the dual upgrade of material and adhesive layer:
- Substrate: High-density woven cloth base gives the tape excellent tensile strength, preventing it from breaking even under pulling or load-bearing scenarios.
- Adhesive Layer: Eco-friendly hot melt adhesive, optimized through Yongguan’s exclusive formula, enhances wettability and adhesion to rough and oily surfaces, achieving "long-lasting adhesion on harsh surfaces."
In film shooting and stage lighting setups, reflections from ordinary tapes often cause "bloopers." Yongguan’s Gaffer Tape adopts a matte surface process that effectively reduces light reflection. Even near bright stage lights or in close-up shots, it remains "visually invisible," safeguarding the quality of footage and stage effects.
- Strong Tensile Strength: The cloth-based material gives it far greater tensile resistance than ordinary tapes. When used to fix heavy lighting fixtures or large display boards, it won’t break under tension.
- Moderate Peel Adhesion: It leaves no residue when peeled off and won’t damage the bonded surface (e.g., expensive stage props, decorative panels in studios), achieving a professional experience of "sticking firmly and peeling cleanly."
Unlike the cheap look of ordinary tapes, Yongguan’s Gaffer Tape has a uniform surface texture and neat edge cuts, presenting a clean and professional visual effect. In art exhibitions and high-end conference stage setups, it won’t be a visual distraction; instead, it acts as an "invisible tool" to enhance the sophistication of the scene.
In scenarios like film green screen shooting and stage lighting zoning, "excessive light penetration" ruins the layering of the frame. Yongguan’s tape has light-blocking properties, which can be used to seal gaps and divide light zones. This helps creators precisely control the visual atmosphere and improve the professionalism of the final work.
The advantages of Yongguan’s eco-friendly hot melt adhesive are fully demonstrated here—whether on dusty metal brackets in studios or slightly oily wooden surfaces of stage props, it adheres quickly. Moreover, its adhesion won’t fade over time due to rough or oily environments, truly achieving "easy application on multiple surfaces."
Yongguan’s new Gaffer Tape precisely covers professional fields with high demands for "adhesion, visuals, and functionality":
- Fixing photography lighting: It firmly secures lighting accessories on rough surfaces like metal light stands and wooden light boxes. Its matte surface won’t reflect light or cause spots in the footage.
- Green screen setup: Used to splice green screens and seal gaps, while its light-blocking property prevents stray light from interfering with chroma key effects.
- Temporary prop fixing: Quickly secures decorative props on set without damaging their surfaces when peeled off, ensuring shooting efficiency and prop integrity.
- Fixing display boards: It secures promotional boards and art installations on rough walls and irregular exhibition props in venues. Its matte appearance and clean texture match the aesthetic needs of high-end exhibitions.
- Cable management: Organizes and fixes power cords and signal cables in exhibition areas. The cloth-based material’s toughness protects cables, while the matte surface avoids reflections and keeps the area visually tidy.
- Lighting zoning: Divides the stage’s light projection areas to create layered lighting effects and enhance the visual impact of the stage.
- Stage design fixing: Secures stage backdrops and decorative flowers. Even if the backdrop surface is rough or has slight oil stains (e.g., water residue on outdoor stages), Yongguan’s tape maintains long-term stability.
- Emergency repairs: During performances, if props loosen or cables fall, it can be used for quick temporary fixes. The combination of matte finish and strong adhesion enables "invisible" repairs without affecting the performance.
- Confirm specifications and width first: Choose based on usage scenarios (e.g., wide width for fixing lighting, narrow width for cable management).
- Check Yongguan’s brand certification: Purchase from official Yongguan channels to ensure the product passes environmental tests (e.g., RoHS) and meets the environmental requirements of professional scenarios.
- Test sample performance: Before bulk purchasing, request samples of Yongguan’s new product to test adhesion and peeling effects on rough/oily surfaces in your specific scenario.
- Clean the surface before application: If the surface is too oily, wipe it briefly first to further improve the long-term adhesion of Yongguan’s tape.
- Apply even pressure: Press the tape surface evenly during application to ensure full contact between the cloth base and the bonded surface.
- Cut into custom shapes: Use scissors to cut the tape into special shapes (e.g., arcs, irregular shapes) based on scenario needs to meet personalized fixing requirements.
In professional fields like film, exhibitions, and stage, the "professionalism" of tools directly determines the quality of the final result. Yongguan’s new Gaffer Tape, with its core of "cloth-based material + eco-friendly hot melt adhesive," achieves long-lasting durable adhesion on rough and oily surfaces. It also integrates professional features like matte anti-reflection, light-blocking, and high tensile strength—truly realizing "one tape solves pain points in multiple scenarios."
As a key product in Yongguan’s layout of the professional tape market, it not only demonstrates Yongguan’s R&D strength in adhesive technology but also provides professionals with a tool to improve work efficiency and result quality, based on the product concept of "user needs first." If you’re troubled by ordinary tapes that "don’t stick firmly, reflect easily, and leave residue" on rough/oily surfaces, Yongguan’s new Gaffer Tape may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
