The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8663 is a high-performance erosion protection tape designed specifically for aircraft leading edges, such as vertical stabilizers. This tape is constructed with a durable polyurethane backing and features a long-aging, solvent-resistant, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, making it an excellent choice for protecting critical surfaces from the harsh effects of abrasion, erosion, and impact. The tape's transparent design, combined with an easy-release liner, ensures ease of application and reliable performance, helping to reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of protected surfaces.
- Effective Erosion Protection: The 3M™ 8663 tape provides robust protection against erosion, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime by preserving the integrity of aircraft leading edges.
- Durable Polyurethane Construction: Made from a tough thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the tape is highly resistant to abrasion, scratches, erosion, tears, and punctures, ensuring long-lasting surface protection.
- Long-Aging Adhesive: The tape features a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that is resistant to solvents, maintaining strong adhesion over time while allowing for easy removal when necessary. The adhesive is protected by a transparent release liner, facilitating easy application.
- Versatile Application: The tape bonds effectively to a wide variety of substrates, retaining its bond strength over time. It can be applied directly to unpainted or painted surfaces and can also be painted over to match the surrounding area.
- Conformable and Transparent: The transparent nature of the tape allows for easy application, particularly over curved and complex surfaces, without compromising the aesthetics of the protected area.
Usage and Maintenance: For optimal performance, ensure that surfaces are clean and dry before applying the 3M™ 8663 tape. The transparent release liner aids in precise application, especially on curved or irregular surfaces. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the tape remains intact and continues to provide effective erosion protection. Replace the tape if any signs of wear or damage are observed to maintain the safety and performance of the aircraft's leading edges.
