Resistant to cold and heat, with an operating temperature range from -20°C to approximately 250°C
Fire seal tape is widely used in numerous applications throughout the construction process. For instance, it is often applied in fire-rated walls and ceilings to seal penetrations created by electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations. These penetrations can act as channels for smoke and heat, compromising the fire-resistance of a structure. By using fire seal tape, contractors can effectively minimize these vulnerabilities, thus enhancing the overall safety of the building.

4. Neoprene Rubber Tape: Neoprene rubber tape is a versatile material that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is known for its resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals, which makes it ideal for automotive and industrial applications.
The tape is also known as ‘F4 tape’, ‘tommy’, ‘rescue’, ‘magic tape’ and ‘fix-it tape’.
Applying silicone tape is a breeze. Simply stretch and wrap it around the area that needs repair, and it will bond to itself, creating a strong, flexible seal.
3M rubber tapes have operating temperatures ranging from 176°F (80°C) to 221°F (105°C). Some, Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C and Rubber Splicing Tape 23, have overloads temperatures up to 266°F (130°C). Because of this high heat attribute; there are many industrial settings where it is common to use rubber tape in lower voltage applications to moisture seal, pad and insulate:
