3M Aerospace supply a wide range of pre-formed polyurethane protective tapes for use on aircraft radomes and structures. These ‘boots’ protect the surface from damage caused by moisture, UV light, wind, sand, rain, sleet, snow, and other airborne particles using a technology that contains no VOC's and is fast and easy to apply.

The current range of 3M polyurethane protective boots available at Silmid cover Boeing, Airbus, Fokker, Bombardier, Embraer and more. For further information read our full Polyurethane Protective Boots guide.

The installation and subsequent removal of the 3M polyurethane protective boots is quick and easy, as can be seen in the installation video performed on an Airbus A320 radome.
