3M Fire and Water Barrier Tape is an elastomeric fire, water, smoke and sound tape. When installed properly it can act as a barrier to water leakage and airborne sound transmission, while helping to control the transmission of fire, heat and smoke.
- Provides fire, water and smoke protection in construction and perimeter joints
- Works as acoustic barrier by minimizing noise transfer
- Broad temperature range when applying
- High tack adhesive sticks to many common building materials
- Acts as an immediate barrier to water leakage

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6 made of?
The 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6 is made of an inorganic fiber matrix that exhibits excellent flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance.
-
How does the 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6 work as a fire barrier?
The 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6 expands when exposed to heat or flame, forming a protective char barrier that helps prevent flames from spreading.
-
Can I use the 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6 for outdoor applications?
Yes! The tape has been tested for UV stability for up to six months without degradation.
-
How many rolls come with each case of the 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape FWBT6?
Each case includes eight rolls of this fire-resistant sealing tape.
-
Is it easy to install the tape?
The installation process for this product is quite straightforward due to its strong adhesive backing.
Applications
- Fire protection in construction and perimeter joints
- Fire protection in through-penetration applications
- Acoustic barrier
- Barrier to water leakage
This elastic material maintains performance with up to +/- 50% movement capabilities. It has a high tack adhesive that sticks to most common building materials and exceeds the AAMA 711 minimum for adhesion in peel. In addition, it can be installed in temperatures as low as 0°F (18°C) and as high as 120°F (49°C). Adding to its versatility is a unique adhesive that bonds to damp surfaces.
This product acts as an acoustic barrier by minimizing noise transfer (STC-Rating of 54 when tested in a STC 54-rated wall assembly), meets the intent of LEED® VOC environmental guidelines and also acts as an immediate barrier to water leakage passing the ASTM D 6904 rain resistance test. 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape complies with the current requirements of the International Building Code (IBC), NFPA 5000 and NFPA 101.
