Patco 8210 Outdoor Grade Polyurethane Tape, Clear, 3 in x 108 ft

The Patco 8210 Exterior Grade Polyurethane (PU) Surface Protection Tape is engineered to provide superior protection for surfaces exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This tape is particularly suited for exterior applications where abrasion resistance, UV stability, and long-term durability are essential. It offers reliable protection for leading edges of wind turbine blades, aircraft wings, stabilizers, and struts, as well as high-wear surfaces prone to scratching, chipping, and weathering. The transparent design ensures that surfaces remain visible, allowing for easy inspection without compromising on protection.

• Polyurethane Film Backing: The Patco 8210 tape features a non-yellowing polyurethane film backing that is designed for long-term applications. This film is highly resistant to abrasion and UV radiation, ensuring that it remains effective and visually unobtrusive over extended periods. The film is also printable and paintable, offering versatility in various applications. Its conformability allows it to adhere securely to curves and irregular surfaces, making it suitable for complex shapes.
• Acrylic Adhesive: The tape utilizes a high-strength acrylic adhesive that bonds well to both smooth and irregular surfaces. This adhesive is designed to remain flexible and effective over time, without drying out, lifting, or staining the underlying surface. It provides a reliable seal that helps protect surfaces from environmental damage.
• Kraft Paper Release Liner: The inclusion of a kraft paper release liner ensures a smooth, clean release during application, making the tape easy to handle and apply. The liner is also die-cuttable, allowing for precise customization to fit specific surface protection needs.

Ideal For: The Patco 8210 Exterior Grade PU Surface Protection Tape is ideal for protecting high-wear surfaces that are prone to scratching, chipping, and weathering. It is particularly effective for leading edge protection on wind turbine blades and aircraft wings, stabilizers, or struts, where maintaining surface integrity is critical. Additionally, this tape is suitable for protecting air foil and ground effects panels on racing cars and trucks, offering durable and transparent protection that stands up to rigorous use.

Usage and Maintenance: To apply the Patco 8210 tape, ensure that the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion. Cut the tape to the desired size, remove the kraft paper liner, and press the tape firmly onto the surface, making sure it conforms well to any curves or irregular shapes. The tape's high-strength adhesive will bond securely, providing long-lasting protection. When the tape is no longer needed, it can be removed by peeling it back slowly, leaving the surface clean and free from adhesive residue. Store the tape in a cool, dry environment to maintain its performance and extend its shelf life.
