ClarkDietrich is giving framing contractors greater flexibility in leveraging the firestopping power of its BlazeFrame family of products with the introduction of BlazeFrame® Tape.
Sold in rolls, BlazeFrame Tape is a 2mm-thick strip of intumescent material that can be field applied to metal framing profiles to provide an air and smoke seal. When exposed to heat above 375º F, the intumescent material expands up to 35 times its size. This provides protection from heat and flame passage during a fire event.
When used in conjunction with the applicable BlazeFrame deflection tracks and BlazeFrame Perimeter L-Bead, BlazeFrame Tape is UL 2079-fifth edition compliant with UL 2079 Class II or III Movement Capabilities.
BlazeFrame Tape is available in 3/4″, 1″ and 1 1/4″ widths and features a peel-and-stick adhesive backing for easy application.
