Fire Retardant and Semi-Conductive Tapes - Scapa - #1

Fire Retardant Tapes

Scapa Fire Retardant tapes function as a fire barrier to meet more demanding fire propagation and fire survival requirements.

These tapes are based on a finelywoven glass substrate, which has intrinsic fire retardant properties, and the surface coating also gives weave stability. All ofthese tapes are free from halogens and sulphur.

The high tensile strengths give the additional benefit of excellent binding properties. There is a semi-conducting version available to complementthe rest ofthe insulative range.

Fire Retardant Tapes - Key Features & Benefits

• Acts as a barrier between the flame and the combustible core/insulation within the cable.

• Retains the integrity of the cable during and after exposure to fire.

• Extends the fire-survival time ofthe cable and its functions.

• High tensile strength aids bonding and prevents bird-caging.

• Used in cables designed to meet IEC60332-3 CategoryAand IEC331.

• Available in widths, inside and outside diameters, and lengths to suit the cable manufacturers individual requirements.
