Fric-Lo® Friction reduction tape / 2020 5M Fric-Lo®

• Critical construction applications, highly efficient application method saving time and/ or additional components.
• Applications that require an extensive reduction of friction. 
• Can be applied to the inner studs or header track systems to reduce the friction between potentially moving components.
• Facilitate movement in building systems.
• Best practice guide product British Gypsum System.

2020 5M Fric-Lo® is a highly engineered material coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, specifically manufactured for critical applications that require an extensive reduction of friction. Once in situ, 2020 5M Fric-Lo® provides an instant abrasion-resistant, anti-stick, anti-friction surface with operating temperatures up to 107°C (225°F).

Fric Lo products are used widely in SFS infill applications. A strip or pad is applied to the header track adjacent to the stud to facilitate movement under deflection. The pad or strip reduces possible friction between the stud and track, providing a smooth glide between components.

2020 5M Fric-Lo® is supplied with a blue film inter liner which protects the adhesive during production and storage. The filmic liner is removed and can be cut using standard scissors for quick and easy application.

2020 5M Fric-Lo® is available in finished rolls and bespoke die-cut gaskets.
