The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8663DL is a specialized erosion protection tape designed for use on aircraft leading edges, such as vertical stabilizers. This tape features a durable polyurethane backing combined with a long-aging, solvent-resistant, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, offering robust protection against the wear and tear associated with high-speed airflow and environmental exposure. The addition of a dual liner not only protects the adhesive but also facilitates precise installation, making it an ideal solution for reducing maintenance costs and prolonging the life of critical aircraft components.
- Reliable Erosion Protection: The 3M™ 8663DL tape provides effective protection against erosion, helping to minimize maintenance costs and extend the operational life of aircraft leading edges.
- Durable Polyurethane Backing: Constructed from a tough thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the tape offers excellent resistance to abrasion, scratches, erosion, tears, and punctures, ensuring long-lasting durability.
- Dual Liner for Improved Installation: The transparent dual liner protects the adhesive and acts as an installation aid, ensuring precise and efficient application, particularly during maintenance intervals and monument installation.
- Strong and Long-Lasting Adhesion: The pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds securely to a wide variety of substrates, maintaining its bond strength over time while allowing for easy removal when necessary. The adhesive is solvent-resistant, ensuring longevity in demanding environments.
- Easy Application and Versatility: The transparent tape is easy to apply and conforms well to curved surfaces, making it suitable for complex geometries. It can be painted over or applied directly to painted surfaces, offering flexibility in its use without compromising appearance.
Usage and Maintenance: To achieve the best results, apply the 3M™ 8663DL tape to clean, dry surfaces. The dual liner design aids in precise application, making it particularly useful during retrofitting or maintenance of aircraft leading edges. Regular inspection of the tape is recommended to ensure it remains intact and continues to provide effective erosion protection. Replace the tape if any wear or damage is observed to maintain the integrity and performance of the protected surfaces.
