FiretapeFire resistant tape
With the fire-resistant tape from FIRETIGHT, connections between building components (10 - 30mm) can be sealed to be fire-resistant, thermally insulated, and airtight.
The patented tape is supplied as a vacuum-compressed strip of mineral wool, packaged in a vapor-resistant PE foil with added strips of intumescent tape. After releasing the vacuum, the tape is clamped into the gap: the wool expands and completely and firmly fills the entire gap between the building components.
FIRE RESISTANT CONNECTIONS
Firetight Firetape can be used for fire-resistant sealing of joints with timber frame/concrete elements or other prefabricated building components, such as:
• Sealing of prefabricated sandwich panels
• Sealing between roof elements
• Connections of roof elements at party walls
• Connections of facade elements to the structural frame
• Other joints between building components
Fire ResistanceFIRETIGHT Firetape has been tested according to EN 13501-2:2016 and has a fire resistance of at least 60minutes (El 60, classified according to EN 1366-4:2021). Additionally, Firetape contributes to a high smoke resistance of the construction. The mineral wool used in Firetape has the highest fireclass (A1). The foil is flame retardant.
AirtightnessFiretape has optimal airtightness of class 4 (EN 12207). The tape is ideal for sealing air leaks in variable cavity widths, as often found in prefabricated buildings. It features a thick foil that is resistant to moisture. Firetight Firetape can accommodate the expansion and contraction of building components, resulting in long-lasting and durable airtightness of the construction.
