3M™ Polyurethane Aircraft Protective Tape

3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape provides outstanding surface protection. It helps prevent damage caused by fluids, FOD impact, abrasion and erosion from most airborne particles. It is made from a highly durable UV light stabilized highly elastic thermoplastic coated with a unique high performance pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive system.

The tape is formulated to resist degradation from ultra violet light and most aerospace fluids, the conditions present in most aerospace applications. It is extensively used in military, commercial, business, and civilian aerospace applications.

As it has strength and body, 3M tape can be easily handled without tearing. At the same time, it does not contain hazardous chemicals. Military and commercial manufacturers in both aircraft and helicopter segments have been able to solve performance problems with 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes.

3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes 8693 and 8693DL
3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes 8693 and 8693DL are flame-retardant tape constructions made from a tough polyurethane elastomer that is puncture, tear and abrasion resistant. When applied over aircraft floor panels, they help prevent fluids from penetrating floorboards. They meet the regulatory requirements of FAR 25.853 for aircraft interiors.

3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape (PPT) 8671
3M 8671 protects the leading edge of an aircraft's propeller against airborne particulate that could otherwise cause scratches, abrasion, erosion, punctures and even blunt force trauma. It can also be used on other metals, plastics and even paint. 3M 8671 polyurethane tape does not contain any harmful volatile organic compounds.

3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8663
This tape is made from an exceptionally tough abrasion resistant polyurethane elastomer that resists punctures, tear, abrasion and erosion. It is formulated for resistance to ultraviolet light. 3M 8663 Tape provides a simple, easy method of protecting a surface from corrosion, abrasion and minor impact damage. It can be installed in a minimum amount of time with simple tools. It can be painted or applied over painted surfaces. 3M 8663 Tape and 3M 8663 DL Tape are constructed with a long-aging, solvent-resistant, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that is protected with an easy-release plastic liner.

  1. Our company is looking for an aerospace tape that can be a barrier to fluids and prevent liquids from causing corrosion of the floor system. Can you point us to what kind of tape will best serve the purpose?

    1. 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes 8693 and 8693DL from Tape-Rite are flame retardant tape constructions made from an exceptionally tough polyurethane elastomer that resists puncture, tearing, and abrasion. These products are uniquely formulated to pass the burn resistance requirements of FAR 25.853 when tested alone or as a covering applied to floor panels such as those noted below. Applied over aircraft floor panels, they establish an excellent barrier to fluids and help prevent liquids from causing corrosion of the floor system.

  2. We are in the airframe construction industry. We are looking for adhesive tapes to meet our various requirements. We have tried using normal adhesive tapes, but they have not been very effective. What kind of tapes would be perfect to meet such a requirement, and where should we get them from?
