3M Polyurethane Protective Tapes

Polyurethane tapes have been around for over 50 years. They can be used on helicopters, or military and commercial aircraft. Within 3M's range, each product is designed to prevent corrosion and erosion on a variety of components. Prevention is always better and more cost-effective than cure for both. The repair of an eroded rotor blade, for example, could cost thousands of dollars. 3M's range of polyurethane tapes also help protect against impact shock.

In aerospace engineering, corrosion is the gradual destruction of the surface through the formation of iron oxide (rust) due to exposure to natural elements such as moisture and humidity. Erosion, on the other hand, is the process of metal loss from a surface due to exposure to foreign object debris (FOD). Discover more at our comprehensive article about how 3M products protect against both.

Application Solutions

The technical data sheets for each corresponding product show how to quickly and easily apply the 3M Polyurethane Protective Tapes in both rolls and preformed boots. A range of complementary items, such as cleaning chemicals, application tools and masking tapes, are available to support the process of application.

Cocure Films

3M supply a range of cocure films – a revolutionary approach to extending the life of composite parts, with an erosion-resistant integrated system. These films can be repaired using the 3M Scotch-Weld Repair Pastes, reducing AOG downtime while still maintaining a durable yet lightweight protective finish. They remove the need for paint by allowing the PPT and the composite to be cured together.
