Studio gaffer tape Technotape Frontier 570 — 16 mm width

Technotape Frontier 570 — 16 mm width studio gaffer tape is designed for professional photo and film studio use. The tape provides a balance of strong adhesion and clean removability on many surfaces commonly found on set. With a narrow 16 mm width, it is suited for precise tasks such as securing small cables, marking positions on floors or equipment, and performing temporary fixes during shoots. The product is intended for lighting, grip, and stage workflows where reliable hold and minimal residue are required.

Advantages

The tape combines a cloth-backed construction with a pressure-sensitive adhesive formulated for studio environments, offering robust adhesion and good conformability to irregular surfaces. Its 16 mm width allows for discreet application in tight areas while maintaining sufficient tensile strength for cable management and temporary mounts. In many cases the adhesive removes cleanly without leaving noticeable residue, and the cloth backing resists fraying when torn by hand for quick on-set adjustments.

Suitable for

• Securing small-diameter cables and leads
• Marking camera, lighting or actor positions on floors and equipment
• Temporary repairs of soft cases, flags, or gels
• Attaching lightweight accessories to stands and rigs
• General grip and stage tasks requiring a narrow tape

How to use

Clean and dry the surface before application for optimal adhesion. Tear or cut the required length of tape, press firmly onto the surface to ensure full contact, and smooth along the length to remove air pockets. For marking, apply a short strip and press the edges down. To remove, lift a corner and peel back slowly at a low angle; if the tape has been left in place for extended periods or applied to sensitive surfaces, remove carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve adhesive performance. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and UV on delicate surfaces. For long-term applications or on painted or delicate finishes, perform a compatibility test prior to extended use. Dispose of used tape according to local waste regulations.
