3M Polyurethane Protective Tape 8693 and 8693DL are flame retardant tape constructions made from an exceptionally tough polyurethane elastomer that resists puncture, tearing, and abrasion. These products are uniquely formulated to pass the burn resistance requirements of FAR 25.853 when tested alone or as a covering applied to floor panels such as those noted below. Applied over aircraft floor panels, these products establish an excellent barrier to fluids and help prevent liquids from causing corrosion of the floor system. 8693 and 8693DL incorporate a specially formulated self-stick pressure sensitive adhesive for fast and easy application. These products are supplied on a 4 mil polyethylene liner (removed during application), protecting the adhesive. In addition, 8693DL is supplied with a top polyester liner used as an aide for wide web applications. The top liner is also removed after installation.

Soft PVC film with a dull finish and a high performance adhesive. The tape is highly conformable, resistant to aging and most common chemicals (oil, water, acids, alkalis, other corrosives). It will not support bacterial or fungal growth. It can be written on by pen or marker.

Extremely tough, conformable elastic transparent polyurethane film with a very aggressive polyurethane adhesive. It is designed to be used as a moisture seal for floor joints in wet areas of aircraft (galleys, cargo holds). It can be directly applied over wet sealants. Meets FAR 25.853(a), BMS-346B and Airbus 10-05-004. Suitable for die-cutting.

Dead soft aluminum is highly conformable to both irregular and curved surfaces.Strong, highly solvent resistant acrylic adhesive prevents seepage of corrosive materials under the tape, which allows for clean, residue free tape removal.Adhesives high shear qualities offers secure attachment of protective tapes.Service Temperature Range is 30F (34C) to 325 F (163C)Designed to be used where exceptional chemical resistance is required, such as with the masking of sensitive parts and to secure protective drapes on aircraft during the paint stripping process. The tape can also be formed into runoff gutters to take stripping solvent to catch basins.Also useful for electroplating and where high temperature resistance is required.
