The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8663HS is a high-performance erosion protection tape designed for use on aircraft leading edges and other critical surfaces. This 18 mil thick tape is available in both matte black and matte transparent finishes, making it versatile for various applications. Constructed with a tough polyurethane backing and a high shear strength acrylic adhesive, the 8663HS tape is engineered to resist punctures, tearing, abrasion, and erosion, ensuring long-lasting protection in demanding aerospace environments. The tape is also qualified to meet stringent aerospace specifications, providing reliable performance for aircraft maintenance and protection.
- High Shear Strength and Durability: The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer used in the 3M™ 8663HS tape provides exceptional resistance to scratches, tears, erosion, and punctures. Its high shear strength adhesive ensures the tape remains securely in place even under intense conditions.
- Multiple Liner Configurations: The tape is available in two liner configurations, offering flexibility in application and installation processes, making it suitable for various operational needs.
- Conformable and Easy to Apply: The tape is designed to easily conform to curved and complex surfaces, allowing for straightforward application and reliable adhesion even on irregular geometries.
- Versatile Finish Options: Available in both matte black and matte transparent finishes, the tape can either blend seamlessly with the surface or provide a discreet layer of protection, depending on aesthetic or functional requirements. It can also be painted over or applied directly to painted surfaces.
- Strong and Long-Lasting Adhesion: The acrylic adhesive bonds to a wide variety of substrates and retains a consistent level of adhesion over time, yet can be easily removed when necessary without damaging the underlying surface.
Usage and Maintenance: For optimal performance, apply the 3M™ 8663HS tape to clean, dry surfaces. The tape’s conformability makes it ideal for use on aircraft leading edges and other curved surfaces. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the tape remains intact and continues to provide effective erosion protection. If any signs of wear or damage are detected, replace the tape promptly to maintain the integrity and safety of the protected surfaces.
