What is believed to be the only four-page leaflet about Weld Backing Tape, has been published recently by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Limited.

Weld Backing Tape can be placed at the backside of a weld to save manufacturers significant costs.

Three different grades of Backing Tape are available to permit arc welding up to 240 amps.

The benefits of using a backing tape include:
• elimination of the need to manufacture expensive backing bars and to manipulate them in tight spaces
• dramatic reduction in post weld dressing and cleaning
• weld is cast flat onto the glass fibre weave eliminating drop through and icicles
• lower skilled welding personnel can be used with this simple to use material
• Slag and massive oxidation are eliminated
