E&H 743-T White PVF Insulation Blanket Cover Splicing Tape | BMS 5-157 Rev. K Comp PVF | GAT100FR2 | FAR 25.856(A) | Tedlar

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

The aerospace industry's white PVF insulation blanket cover splicing tape — meeting Boeing BMS 5-157 Rev. K Type I Class I Grade A Form I Comp PVF and Gulfstream GAT100FR2 specifications for the fabrication and installation of aircraft thermal and acoustic insulation blankets. The clean white non-metalized PVF (Tedlar) film is easily identifiable during blanket fabrication and installation, while the highly fire-retardant acrylic adhesive delivers 0-second flame time across a broad temperature range. E&H 743-T is a white non-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), and BSS-7230 12-second vertical burn, and meets Boeing BMS 5-157 Rev. K Comp PVF and Gulfstream GAT100FR2. Minimum 18-month shelf life in cool, dry storage.
