Flame retardant to FAR 25.853(a) and named on OEM documentation. These are the tapes a cabin or cargo drawing callout normally points to — the callout itself, not this page, decides which one applies.

Protection & Masking Tapes

3 products

Used on aircraft and parts, but for temporary protection, process masking and exterior surfaces rather than a permanent qualified interior seal. The 5565FR is flame retardant; the 8300 and 110-53 are not. Check what your maintenance manual, process sheet or drawing permits.

View Product →

Patco 8300 and 110-53 are not flame retardant. Neither carries a FAR 25.853(a) flammability qualification. The 8300 is an exterior protective film for leading edges, struts and stabilizers; the 110-53 is a temporary masking tape for shot peening and media blast. If your drawing calls out a flame-retardant material for a cabin or cargo location, neither is suitable for that callout; check the specified product and application against the drawing.

The other four Patco tapes here — D9100, 1800, 9425FR and 5565FR — all meet FAR 25.853(a), but which of them applies is set by the callout, not by this page.

Specification details are provided for reference and are drawn from current Patco technical data sheets, which are the controlling source. Typical values are stated at time of manufacture and are not for use in writing specifications. Prices update automatically from each product page; the price in your cart is the controlling price. Confirm current availability on each product page. A cross-reference identifies a potentially matching product and does not constitute a substitution approval — substitution requires approval under the applicable aircraft, operator or engineering procedure. Always verify requirements against the controlling drawing and the current manufacturer data sheet before purchase.
