Whether you need insulation, protection, or general sealing solutions, we’ve got you covered.
Types of Aerospace Tapes We Offer
Our collection of aerospace tapes includes a variety of products, each serving a specific purpose. Here are some of the key categories of aerospace tapes available:
- PVC Insulation Tapes: Our high-performance PVC insulation tapes, such as AT34 and AT77, are ideal for electrical insulation applications in aerospace environments. These tapes offer reliable insulation, flame retardancy, and weather resistance, ensuring that electrical components are adequately protected even in the most challenging conditions.
- Duct Sealing Tapes: Our AT9 PVC duct sealing tape is an excellent choice for sealing air ducts in aerospace systems. This tape offers exceptional adhesion, making it perfect for demanding environments where air sealing is crucial.
- Cloth Tapes: We provide a range of cloth tapes, including AT160 waterproof cloth, AT165 extra-strong cloth, and AT170 premium cloth tapes. These tapes are known for their flexibility, durability, and ease of tearing by hand, making them versatile solutions for bundling, reinforcing, and general-purpose sealing.
- Gaffer Tapes: Our collection of gaffer tapes includes options like PRO GAFF MATT and MINI NON REFLECTIVE GAFFER tapes. These tapes are known for their non-reflective finish, making them ideal for applications where minimising glare is crucial, such as on aerospace control panels or other visible surfaces.
- Fluorescent and Glow-in-the-Dark Tapes: The AT215 Advance fluorescent cloth and the CRE8 GLOW IN THE DARK tapes are designed for increased visibility in low-light or emergency situations. These tapes can be used to mark critical areas, ensuring enhanced safety for aerospace personnel.
Specialist Aerospace Tapes for Demanding Applications
The aerospace industry requires adhesive products that not only meet but exceed quality and safety standards. Here are some of the specialist tapes we offer that are engineered specifically for aerospace applications:
- 3M 850 Polyester Film Tape: This is a versatile tape offering strong adhesion and high-temperature resistance. It is widely used in masking applications, particularly during painting and finishing stages, where precision is crucial.
- AT502 Advance Cold Weather Aluminium Foil Tape: Specifically designed for cold weather applications, this tape is used for insulating ductwork and other surfaces exposed to low temperatures, ensuring strong adhesion even in sub-zero environments.
- 3M VHB (Very High Bond) Tapes: Tapes like 3M 4952 VHB are ideal for bonding rigid materials, reducing the need for mechanical fasteners. The strong bond ensures the structural integrity required in aerospace applications.
- Butyl Tapes: Butyl tapes, such as RS370 and RS371, are highly effective for sealing purposes, particularly in areas where flexibility and resistance to vibration are important. These tapes are often used for sealing fuel lines, windows, and joints.

Applications of Aerospace Tapes
Aerospace tapes play a significant role in many aspects of aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, and repair. Here are some of the common applications of aerospace tapes:
- Insulation: Electrical insulation is crucial in aerospace systems, where safety and reliability are paramount. Our high-performance insulation tapes ensure that wiring and electrical components are safely covered, reducing the risk of shorts and fire hazards.
- Sealing and Bonding: Many of our aerospace tapes are used for sealing critical components, such as air ducts and joints. Tapes like the AT9 PVC duct sealing tape and butyl tapes provide excellent sealing properties, preventing air or fluid leaks.
- Surface Protection: The 3M 850 polyester film and SCAPA 0458 clear amber tapes are used to protect delicate surfaces during the manufacturing process. These tapes help protect against scratches and other surface damage, ensuring a pristine finish.
- Identification and Marking: Fluorescent and glow-in-the-dark tapes are often used to mark emergency exits, equipment, and other critical areas. This helps ensure that in low-light conditions, essential parts of the aircraft can be easily identified.
