01

Flame-retardant tapes have numerous applications across industries requiring strict fire safety standards. They are used in vehicles, aircraft, trains, or on ships. And these industrial safety tapes are also used in construction and manufacturing to provide reliable fire protection

02

Fire-resistant tapes are used for general mounting, lamination, and converting applications where flame retardant properties are needed. In the transport sector, they help fasten lightweight wall cladding, mirrors, hatch covers, as well as decorative panels. They also provide a strong bond for commonly used wool, polyamide, and mixed-fiber carpets in aircraft and train passenger compartments. During maintenance and overhaul, the tape is easily removable and leaves no residues on the floor panels, which makes for an efficient and uncomplicated process.

03

In construction, flame-retardant tapes are used to mount stiffener bars on elevator landing doors. These bars prevent deformation of the doors and add stability. And the doors themselves play a crucial part in helping to stop flames spreading from one floor to the next through the elevator shaft. So, of course, all materials need to comply with fire regulations – and that includes the mounting tape.

Flame-retardant tapes are ideal for various automotive fire protection applications, including mounting display and operating elements, as well as EV battery cell-to-cell bonding. They are also a popular choice in the household appliance industry for bonding decorative profiles, front panels, and kick plates.

FAQ

FAQ about flame-retardant tapes

Flame-retardant tapes are a popular choice due to their versatility; they are often used for bonding, sealing, and insulating components simultaneously. They are easier to apply than other options, such as intumescent coatings and paints, which can be complex and require a professional installer. Flame-retardant tapes need no containment measures during application, unlike fireproofing insulation, which is usually applied using a messy spray. While other fire-resistant materials such as Kevlar or Nomex maintain their fire-resistant properties over time, they are typically bulkier and less affordable than tapes.
