Meet the firestopping products that raise the standard

Put down the sprayer and get to work with revolutionary, fast-installing 3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape and 3M™ Smoke and Sound Tape. These tapes are tested and listed with both UL and Interek to ASTM E2307, E1966 and E814 as well as CAN/ULC S-115 and S-102. These are the only products on the market that use patent-pending 3M technology to help provide instant fire, water, smoke and sound protection in convenient tape form.


3M™ Fire and Water and 3M™ Smoke and Sound Tapes

3M™ Fire and Water Barrier Tape and 3M™ Smoke and Sound Tape provide tough, elastomeric protection from fire, water, smoke and sound. A unique pressure-sensitive adhesive aggressively sticks and stays stuck to a wide variety of substrates at both high and low temperatures, and will even adhere to damp surfaces.

Featured firestopping sprays

  • A sprayable, moisture-curing hybrid siliconized polymer that forms a tough, elastomeric coating. This material is used to firestop perimeter joints, like curtain wall joints, and other construction joints that need to prevent fire and water from moving floor to floor.
