DESCRIPTION
Ceramic Fibre Tape 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.
Ceramic Fibre Tape can be subjected to high temperatures but maintain it’s density and tensile strength. It is supplied in roll form and is white in colour and has been successfully fire tested in accordance with BS476:
Part 22: 1987.
USES
For glazing of non-insulating and
insulating glass into internal timber and steel screens and doors with glass from major manufacturers including Pyrostop, Pyrobelite, Pyrocet, Contraflam etc.
The performance of Firetape Ceramic is dependent on the use of suitable fire resistant glass and suitable frame design. Further information is available from Firewise. |

TEST DATA
In fire test 63329 sponsored by Schott Glass Ltd, 2 panes of 6mm thick Pyran® glass 1400mm wide by 2300mm high and 1200mm wide by 2300mm high achieved 126 minutes integrity. The frame consisted of Jansen mild steel rectangular hollow sections.
The Pyran® was glazed with 20mm by 6mm (thick) Pyrotape® compressed to 3mm thick around the perimeter of both faces of the glass.
It can be used to glaze fire resistant glasses, into approved steel fire resisting doors and screens.
To establish the correct type/method of glazing please consult the glass or frame manufacturer.
