Product Description
Pocono GT-226 Clear Adhesive Gaffers Tape is a vinyl-coated black gaffers tape featuring a cloth fabric coated with a removable Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (HMPSA). This means that it offers excellent adhesion (60 ounces per inch) with clean removal. Unlike the adhesion on most gaffers tape, this type of adhesion is clear, so it doesn't have the same white lines and edges as standard gaff tape. This makes Pocono GT-226 perfect for when you need nondescript gaffers tape for photography, sealing, bundling of wires and other common gaffers tape applications. This high-quality Clear Adhesive Gaffers Tape by Pocono is very flexible, so it's easy to conform to odd-shaped surfaces and items, and offers a smooth unwind for fast and simple application. Additionally, Pocono GT-226 is easy to tear by hand. FindTape is happy to sell this all-black gaffers tape by the roll or case.
Product Applications
- Bundling, wrapping or holding wires and cords in place
- Marking stage floors
- Blackout masking on scenery panels and backstage areas
- Photography
- Sealing jobs

Pocono GT-226 Clear Adhesive Gaffers Tape
I am a frequent user of gaffers tape, and have tried many brands from many vendors. This tape is a superior version compared to all others I have used. Hope it is never discontinued because I intend to re-order and use this exclusively.
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
