- High tack adhesive sticks to many common building materials
- Provides fire, water and smoke protection in construction and perimeter joints
- Works as acoustic barrier by minimizing noise transfer
3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape can provide up to 4-hours of fire protection in construction joints per ASTM E 1966 (UL 2079), 3-hour fire protection in perimeter joints per ASTM E 2307 and 2-hour fire protection in through-penetration applications per ASTM E 814 (UL 1479).
Applications
- Fire protection in construction and perimeter joints
- Fire protection in through-penetration applications
- Acoustic barrier
- Barrier to water leakage
This elastic material maintains performance with up to +/- 50% movement capabilities. It has a high tack adhesive that sticks to most common building materials and exceeds the AAMA 711 minimum for adhesion in peel. In addition, it can be installed in temperatures as low as 0°F (18°C) and as high as 120°F (49°C). Adding to its versatility is a unique adhesive that bonds to damp surfaces. This product acts as an acoustic barrier by minimizing noise transfer (STC-Rating of 54 when tested in a STC 54-rated wall assembly), meets the intent of LEED VOC environmental guidelines and also acts as an immediate barrier to water leakage passing the ASTM D 6904 rain resistance test. Our 3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape complies with the current requirements of the International Building Code (IBC). NFPA 5000 and NFPA 101.
Trusted 3M Fire Tape
The 3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT12 offers reliable protection in construction projects. This translucent tape is designed to act as a barrier against fire, water, smoke, and sound, making it a versatile choice for building safety.
Its elastomeric properties help control fire and heat transmission effectively. The exact model FWBT12 ensures consistent quality and performance for demanding applications.
Generous Size And Length
This tape comes in a 12 inch width and a 75 ft length, providing ample coverage for various sealing needs. The size helps cover larger joints and gaps efficiently, reducing installation time.
With these dimensions, the tape suits perimeter joints and through-penetration applications, ensuring comprehensive fire and water protection across different areas.
High Tack Adhesive Strength
The tape features a high tack adhesive that sticks firmly to many common building materials. This strong adhesion supports a secure seal that resists peeling and maintains barrier integrity.
Its adhesive also bonds to damp surfaces and works well across a broad temperature range, from 0°F to 120°F, making it practical for various climates and conditions.
Packaged Four Per Case
Each case contains four rolls of the 3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT12. This pack size is convenient for contractors needing multiple rolls for larger projects or ongoing maintenance.
Having four rolls per case helps ensure consistent supply on site and reduces the need for frequent reordering, streamlining workflow and inventory management.
Multi-Purpose Barrier Protection
This tape not only blocks fire and water but also acts as an acoustic barrier to minimize noise transfer. It meets fire protection standards with up to 4 hours of resistance in construction joints.
Its versatility extends to perimeter joints and through-penetration applications, making it a comprehensive solution for fire, water, smoke, and sound control in building construction.
