3M™ polyurethane protective tape 8663 is a transparent 18 mil, polyurethane elastomer tape designed to protect leading edges such as vertical stabilizers against rain and sand. Our tough polyurethane backing is scratch, tear, erosion, puncture and impact-resistant. The transparent tape can be painted or applied over painted surfaces. This tape has excellent environmental-resistance properties and has been used to isolate and protect substrates from environmental damage and erosive elements. A polyethylene liner helps protect the adhesive from contamination prior to bonding. 3M™ polyurethane protective tape 8663 is qualified to leading aircraft manufacturer specifications for protection from sand and rain erosion.
