3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT8, Translucent, 8 in x 75 ft, 4 Each/Case

• Acts as an immediate barrier to water leakage
• Broad temperature range when applying
• 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 is an elastomeric fire, water, smoke and sound tape. When installed properly it can act as a barrier to water leakage and airborne sound transmission, while helping to control the transmission of fire, heat and smoke.

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.

3M Fire Water Barrier

The 3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT8 offers reliable protection by acting as an immediate barrier to water leakage. This translucent tape is designed to help control fire, heat, and smoke transmission in construction settings.

Its elastomeric properties make it suitable for fire, water, smoke, and sound protection. The FWBT8 model is a trusted choice for maintaining safety and integrity in building joints.

Translucent Tape Dimensions

This tape measures 8 inches wide by 75 feet long, providing ample coverage for various construction applications. The size ensures it can be applied efficiently across joints and penetrations.

With these dimensions, the tape fits well in both perimeter and through-penetration joints, supporting up to 4 hours of fire protection per ASTM standards.

High Tack Adhesive Performance

The FWBT8 features a high tack adhesive that sticks firmly to many common building materials. This strong adhesion helps maintain the barrier's effectiveness over time.

Its adhesive also bonds to damp surfaces and performs well in a broad temperature range from 0°F to 120°F, making it versatile for different job site conditions.

Four Each Case Format

This product is sold in cases containing four rolls, making it convenient for contractors to stock and use on multiple projects. The pack size supports efficient inventory management.

Having four rolls per case ensures enough material for larger jobs or multiple applications, reducing the need for frequent reordering and downtime.

Fire Water Acoustic Protection

Besides fire and water resistance, this tape also acts as an acoustic barrier by minimizing noise transfer. It achieves an STC rating of 54 when tested in rated wall assemblies.

Its multi-functional protection meets International Building Code requirements and supports fire protection in construction and perimeter joints, enhancing overall building safety.
