Backing Tape

Fiback 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. Fiback 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.Fiback reduces set-up, clean up and weld time; eliminates post-weld grinding and back gouging and increases work efficiency while minimizing costs.

Fiback 200 AMP

• Light duty
• Sufficient for thinner materials, such as aluminum, carbon steel,  chrome steels, cast iron, nickel and cobalt alloys, copper nickel and many more
• Often used in general fabrication shops and for  manufacturing pressure vessels and aircraft components

Fiback 600 AMP

• Heavy duty
• Typically used for denser metals, such as stainless steel, duplex stainless steel and other metals depending on thickness
• Often used for projects in the commercial and military ship manufacturing industry
• Can be used with automated equipment for more accurate results
