E&H 770-3FRD is a dull gray metalized Tedlar (polyvinyl fluoride) insulation blanket cover splicing tape — a fire-retardant pressure-sensitive splicing tape engineered for aircraft insulation blanket fabrication, installation, and repair. Built on metalized PVF/Tedlar film with a 10×10 visual scrim and a fire-retardant acrylic adhesive, it seals sewn seams and closes fabrication slits and holes around brackets, conduits, and other objects that pierce insulation. Manufactured by E&H Laminating & Slitting Company — the recognized specialist in aircraft insulation blanket tapes. Approved to Douglas DMS-1984 Rev. P Type 6 Class 2, the FAA Critical Radiant Heat Panel test (FAR 25.856(A)), FAR 25.853 (A, B), DMS-1511, and BSS-7230. Flame time is 0 seconds with no drips.
Documentation provided at no extra charge: Manufacturer's Certificate of Conformance referencing the DMS-1984 specification, plus a Burn Test Certificate referencing FAR 25.853 (A & B) and FAR 25.856 (A).
