3M Polyurethane Protective Tape 8544, Black, 1 in x 36 yd

The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8544 is a high-performance solution designed to offer superior protection against erosion, abrasion, and punctures. This glossy black tape features a tough 9 mil polyurethane backing combined with a high shear acrylic adhesive, making it ideal for demanding applications such as the aerospace industry. The tape is specifically engineered to meet aerospace specifications, providing reliable performance in preventing chafing, particularly around rivets on aircraft fuel cells and bladders.

• Durable Polyurethane Backing: The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8544 is made from a tough, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer that offers excellent resistance to minor scratches, tears, erosion, and punctures. This durability ensures long-lasting protection for sensitive surfaces in challenging environments.
• High Shear Strength Adhesive: The tape features a high shear strength acrylic adhesive that adheres securely to a wide variety of substrates. This adhesive maintains a constant level of adhesion over time, ensuring the tape stays in place even under stressful conditions, yet it can be easily removed when necessary without leaving residue.
• Thin and Conformable: The 9 mil thickness of the tape provides a robust protective barrier while remaining thin and conformable enough to easily apply over curved or irregular surfaces. This flexibility makes it ideal for use on complex shapes and surfaces where protection is needed.
• Aerospace-Grade Protection: Qualified to meet aerospace specifications, the 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8544 is commonly used to prevent chafing around rivets on aircraft fuel cells and bladders, ensuring these critical components remain intact and functional.
• Versatile Application: This tape can be painted over or applied directly to painted surfaces without compromising its protective properties. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications where aesthetics and protection are both important.

Recommended Applications:

• Prevention of chafing and wear around rivets on aircraft fuel cells and bladders.
• Protection of aircraft surfaces from erosion, abrasion, and punctures in high-stress areas.
• Use on painted surfaces or areas where the tape may need to be painted over for aesthetic reasons.
• Applications requiring durable, conformable tape that can withstand harsh conditions while providing reliable protection.

Usage and Maintenance: To apply the 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8544, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. The tape can be easily applied to both flat and curved surfaces due to its conformability. For optimal adhesion, press the tape firmly onto the surface, ensuring full contact. The tape's high shear strength adhesive will maintain its hold over time, but it can be removed easily when needed, leaving the surface clean and undamaged. This tape is a dependable choice for protecting valuable aerospace components and other sensitive surfaces in industrial settings.
