Also referred to as self-fusing tape, self-amalgamating tape is a non-sticky tape that will only adhere to itself. To amalgamate means “to mix or merge so as to make a combination; blend; unite; combine.” So, when one layer of tape is stretched and placed over another layer of self-amalgamating tape, the two layers ‘blend’ or ‘combine’ to become a solid piece.
- Flame-Resistant Tape A Vital Tool in Combating Fire Disasters
Strong, pliable, elastic and versatile
Construction:In the construction industry, butyl sealant tape is widely used to seal joints, seams, and gaps in various building materials, such as roofing membranes, window frames, and metal panels.
Fire seal tape is widely used in numerous applications throughout the construction process. For instance, it is often applied in fire-rated walls and ceilings to seal penetrations created by electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations. These penetrations can act as channels for smoke and heat, compromising the fire-resistance of a structure. By using fire seal tape, contractors can effectively minimize these vulnerabilities, thus enhancing the overall safety of the building.
The naturally occurring rubber harvested from rubber trees is the oldest type of adhesive base and is still in use today in various masking tapes and applications tapes used in the graphics industry. They are inexpensive, can be formulated with predictable adhesion properties, and work well in applications with low shear requirements. These adhesives work well in ambient and low-temperature applications but will struggle when the temperature exceeds about 120°F.
Here at Swift, we stock a number of different electrical tapes. Some are adhesive, some are not and somewhere in the middle are our self-fusing tapes. These don't stick to surfaces but they do stick to themselves.
Silicone tape can function effectively within a wide temperature range, from freezing cold to scorching heat. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for various climates and applications.
