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.
