E&H 743-MT Metalized PVF Insulation Blanket Cover Splicing Tape | BMS 5-157 Rev. K | GAT100FR1 | FAR 25.856(A) | Tedlar

Please Note: All E&H products have a 1-2 weeks lead time

The aerospace industry's standard metalized insulation blanket cover splicing tape — meeting Boeing BMS 5-157 and Gulfstream GAT100FR1 specifications for the fabrication and installation of aircraft thermal and acoustic insulation blankets. The distinctive dull gray metalized PVF (Tedlar) film provides reliable identification on the aircraft, while the highly fire-retardant acrylic adhesive delivers 0-second flame time and outstanding performance across extreme temperature ranges. E&H 743-MT is a dull gray metalized polyvinyl fluoride (PVF/Tedlar) film tape with a 10x10 visual scrim reinforcement and a highly fire-retardant acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Manufactured by E&H Laminating & Slitting Company — the recognized specialist in aircraft insulation blanket tapes — it passes the FAA Critical Radiant Heat Panel test, FAR Part 25.853 (A or B), FAR Part 25.856(A), BSS-7230 12-second vertical burn, and meets Boeing BMS 5-157 Rev. K Type I Class I Grade A Form I Comp MPVF and Gulfstream GAT100FR1. Minimum 18-month shelf life in cool, dry storage.
