Frequently Asked Questions
What is Intertape 591 used for?
591 is a double-coated flatback tape used mainly for golf club grip installation and repair, and also for photograph mounting, carpet installation, textile manufacturing and steel-rule die make-ready.
Is Intertape 591 good for regripping golf clubs?
Yes. IPG calls 591 a recognized standard in golf club grip manufacture and repair. Its high-shear natural rubber/resin adhesive holds the grip firmly once the grip solvent flashes off.
What width of 591 should I use for golf grips?
1/2" and 3/4" are common for spiral wrapping the shaft, and 2" covers the grip area in a single strip. Use whichever your shop's method calls for.
Can I use grip solvent with Intertape 591?
Yes. Golf grip installation normally uses solvent to slide the grip over the tape; the adhesive grabs once the solvent evaporates.
What is the difference between flatback and cloth double-sided tape?
Flatback is a smooth, non-stretch paper carrier. It tears and lays flat easily and holds its shape for machine application. Cloth carriers are thicker and more conformable.
How much heat can Intertape 591 take?
It is rated to a maximum of 200°F (93°C).
Can 591 be applied by machine?
Yes. The white easy-release crepe paper liner allows either machine or hand application.
Is Intertape 591 approved for aircraft carpet?
No. 591 is not flame retardant and has no FAA or Boeing approval. For aircraft carpet, use Polyken 108FR, which meets BMS 5-133 and FAR 25.853(a).
What sizes and pack quantities does 591 come in?
1/2", 3/4", 1" and 2" x 36 yd rolls, sold by the roll, in 4- or 8-roll packs, or by the case (72, 48, 36 and 24 rolls).
