Straight Jacket Tape – Fiberglass Mesh Tape

Straight Jacket Tape is a fiberglass mesh tape. Straight Jacket Tape is used in the Fire Rated Polydeck^® Decking Systems

 Straight Jacket Tape is a reinforcing component used specifically in Fire Rated Polydeck decking systems. It is designed to enhance the mechanical strength of the system, particularly at high-stress areas, providing structural integrity and crack-bridging support.

 Straight Jacket Tape is used in conjunction with the Fire Rated Polydeck system. It serves as a reinforcement layer and is typically embedded between liquid-applied membrane coatings or cementitious layers in the system. While no primers or coatings are mentioned directly on the datasheet, this tape is meant to be part of a multi-layer build-up in the Polydeck system.

 Ideal for use over:

·       Concrete

·       Plywood

·       Joints

·       Cracks

·       Seams

·       Flashings

·       Other stress-prone or transitional areas

·       Supplied in rolls measuring 4” x 150’ (10.16 cm x 45.7 m)

·       Coverage per roll: 150 linear feet (45.7 meters)

·       Thickness: 0.007 inches (0.18 mm)

·       Average Weight: 1.9 oz/sqy (64.4 gm/sqm)

·       Tensile Strength (ASTM D1668 II): 85 psi (0.6 MPa) both warp and fill directions

·       Thread Count: 20 threads (warp and fill)

·       Yarn Spec: 150-1/0 (warp and fill)

·       This product is non-liquid and used purely for mechanical reinforcement, hence parameters such as pot life, curing time, and environmental installation conditions (temperature, humidity) are not applicable.

·       Color: Off-white

·       It is not UV-stable by itself and must be encapsulated within the deck system layers.

·       Always installed by trained professionals as part of a larger, tested, fire-rated assembly.
