Barb tape, often referred to as razor wire or razor tape, is a type of security fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s). It is designed to prevent passage by humans and is used to protect a variety of sites, including military installations, prisons, government buildings, and other areas where security is a concern.

Unlike traditional barbed wire, which is made up of two wires twisted together with barbs spaced regularly along them, barbed tape is made from a flat tape that is punched to produce a pattern of sharp barbs. The tape is then helically coiled to produce its characteristic spirals. Barbed tape can be used on its own or in combination with other fencing materials to enhance security.

Blade Types

Barbed tape can be divided into two main blade series: Concertina Barbed Tape (CBT) and Barbed Tape Obstacle (BTO)
Razor barb tape, also known as razor wire, is a type of high-security fencing material that consists of sharp-edged metal strips or wires arranged in a helical pattern. It is designed to deter and prevent unauthorized access to a protected area by creating a physical barrier that is difficult to breach.

The main features and uses of razor barb tape are:

Sharp and Deterrent: The sharp-edged blades or barbs on the tape make it extremely difficult to climb over or cut through, acting as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders.

High Security: Razor barb tape is commonly used in high-security areas such as military installations, prisons, and government facilities to enhance perimeter security and prevent unauthorized entry.

Easy Installation: Razor barb tape is relatively easy to install on fences, walls, or other structures. It can be attached using various methods, including brackets, clips, or tie wires.

Durability: It is made from high-quality galvanized steel or stainless steel, which provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring its long-lasting performance even under harsh environmental conditions.

Versatility: Razor barb tape is available in various formats, including concertina coils, flat wrap, or welded mesh panels, allowing it to be installed in different configurations to suit specific security requirements.

Visual Deterrence: The presence of razor barb tape serves as a visual deterrent, warning potential intruders of the high-security measures in place.
