The use of ceramic backing strips enables welding to be carried out from a single side, with full penetration and reduces (and often removes) the need to grind out and re-weld a root from the reverse side. The strips are available in a range of configurations for differing applications and resulting weld bead shapes

Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape Weld Backing Tape greatly reduces and can even eliminate the need for back purging. The welding tape is composed of two adhesive areas on the outside edges and a center strip of fiberglass resistant up to 1,022°F (550°C) that is capable of withstanding applications between 300 and 600 Amps.

Because Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape weld backing tape is composed of a flexible fiberglass fabric; it can conform to a number of surfaces and shapes. Unlike other welding tapes such as ceramic tapes which develop stress points between pieces, Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape tape is consistent in thickness creating a continuous bead during welding. Ideal for plate, sheet and pipe welding, Fiback™ can be used for pressure vessels, large bore pipes, shipbuilding, fabrication and many more applications.

Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape backing tape is suitable for SMAW (stick), TIG and MIG welding processes, and is compatible with carbon, alloy and stainless steels as well as aluminum. Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape greatly reduces weld set up time and ensures that weld slag is safely collected in an enclosed weld pool, resulting in a high quality weld. Once welding is complete, the weld backing tape can be removed from the backside of the root gap, without the need for post-weld grinding or back gouging.

Fiber glass Welding Tape is a woven fabric made from our high quality material. Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape is an innovative substitute for traditional back purging methods that provides protection to the backside of the weld environment and ensures a high quality finish. Fiber glass Welding Tape is flexible, heat resistant, and halogen and fluorocarbon-free, enabling it to be a complete solution for plate, sheet and pipe welding needs.
This welding tape is composed of two adhesive areas around the outside edges with a center fiberglass strip, heat resistant up to 1,022°F (550°C) and withstanding applications up to 600 amps.
Suitable for SMAW (stick), TIG, and MIG Welding processes, Fiback can conform to various shapes making it superior to more rigid solutions that develop stress points between pieces and are prone to cracking and breaking over time.

Ceramic Tapes are non-combustible when tested in accordance with BS 476, Part 4 are made from alumina-silica ceramic fiber, free of asbestos. These fiber materials can be used in different industrial applications under temperatures up to 1300°C and have accomplished chemical stability and strong audacity to thermal shock and corrosion attack. Inconel wire / SS wire and fiberglass filament are incorporated into the yarn to increase adjustable strength of the fabrics both before and after exposure to heat. Typical applications for tapes include gaskets, seals, furnace and welding curtains or pipe etc.
