DAC International Tells Customers To ‘Stick It’

DAC International (Booth N3921) announced it is now a U.S. distributor for Nichigo G-Tape. The Japanese product is an environmentally friendly pressure-sensitive tape with a variety of aviation applications. It is also hand-tearable and easily removable.

Unlike duct tape, G-Tape is reusable and does not leave any residue behind, making it ideal for protecting aircraft interiors during assembly and maintenance or as masking for painting. In addition, the tape has a higher tensile strength and dimensional stability than normal gaffer or duct tape products.

“This is a new and exciting product to be representing,” said Cisco Hernandez, vice president and general manager of the Greenwich AeroGroup subsidiary. “Gaffer or duct tapes are often made with rubber-based products, but Nichigo G-Tape is an eco-friendly tape that is halogen-free and lead-free.” The tape is available in a wide range of adhesive strengths, ranging from removable to permanent, depending on application. DAC can also supply double-sided tape for tasks such as carpet bonding.
