Fiback ™: Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape

Fiback ™ Fiberglass 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 Fiback ™ 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, Fiback™ 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.

Fiback ™ 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. Fiback™ 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.
