Firetape Ceramic

Firetape Ceramic is a specialised tape based on ceramic fibres which is supplied on single strand reels for use when glazing a wide variety of insulating and non-insulating fire resistant glass types into internal screens and doors manufactured from timber or steel. It has a special pressure sensitive contact adhesive which allows it to be repositioned before final fixing. It can also be capped with Silfix® U9 to prevent possible degradation of the tape by glass cleaning solutions.

• Tested with non-insulating and insulating glass types from all major glass manufacturers.
• Non-toxic.
• Supplied on single strand reels with an “easy peel” backing paper. Quick, clean & easy to apply – eliminates need for distance pieces.
