>GAF-Fire
GAF-Fire is a consumable product that has been designed and engineered to reflect the needs of an industry that has become fully aware of its responsibilities concerning safety and the environment.
GAF-Fire is the world's first ever matt black self-adhesive tape which is both self-extinguishing and flame retardant to the rigorous standards of BS5867 part 2 1980 type B. Designed for use in a range of situations, it provides the 'missing link' in the industry's flame retardant armoury. GAF-Fire can be used for many types of applications within the entertainment industry since it provides a non-burn surface for stage, film, TV and concert productions.
It also provides a discreet, yet safe, non-burn cover or surround for pyrotechnic applications; reinforces joins in fabrics or effects the temporary repair of drapes and seating; offers extra protection for clothing worn during explosive stunts; can be laminated directly to timber or stages to provide a slip-resistant non-burn surface; has no solvent retention in the manufacture, dramatically reducing 'adhesive migration' and providing a safe, clean closure for vinyl stage floors and will not burn or drip molten material from overhead in the case of fire. It is available in widths from 12mm up to 1000m from roll lengths of 25m.
Although self-extinguishing, it does this without adding halogens and uses a 'solvent-free' coating system. The fabric of the tape is 100% cotton and the adhesive system is based on natural rubber.
