3M Aerospace’s revolutionary range of polyurethane protection tapes are ideal for preventing abrasion and corrosion across the aircraft, especially on high risk areas such as the fuselage belly and leading edges. Tapes such as 3M 8681HS Protective Tape conform to the curves of the airframe and are easily repairable in overhaul operations using the Ardox AV8 Corrosion Inhibiting Compound, as shown to the right. These tapes can also be supplied as preformed shapes, ideal for protecting nose radomes and aircraft fairings on a variety of aircraft.
The airframe forms the primary mechanical structure of an aircraft, engineered to be lightweight while delivering high performance and long-term reliability. It is designed to endure significant aerodynamic forces and the stresses generated by the aircraft’s overall weight throughout its service life.
To protect and maintain these complex structures, Silmid supplies a complete range of liquid chemical consumables from trusted manufacturers such as PPG, 3M, and AeroShell. These products covering applications such as cleaning, surface preparation, corrosion protection, and sealing, carry approvals from both Boeing and Airbus, ensuring compliance with the highest aerospace standards across manufacturing and maintenance operations.
