Professional aerospace-grade glass cloth tape with flame retardant properties, acrylic adhesive, and exceptional durability for aircraft and industrial applications. FAA and Boeing certified.
The 3M™ Glass Cloth Tape 398FR is a premium aerospace-grade adhesive tape specifically engineered for demanding applications requiring flame retardant properties and exceptional durability. Featuring a white glass-cloth backing with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, this tape delivers superior performance in aircraft cargo bay sealing, thermal and acoustic insulation panel applications, and other high-reliability industrial uses. The tape combines a durable glass cloth backing with excellent abrasion and puncture resistance, making it ideal for long-term aging performance in aerospace environments.
This professional-grade tape meets rigorous federal aviation regulations including F.A.R. Part 25.853(a), F.A.R. Part 25.855(d), and MIL A-3316C specifications. It is EU compliant per directive 2003/11/EC and qualifies to Boeing material specifications BMS 5-146 Type I, Class I, Grade A. The acrylic adhesive provides excellent long-aging properties and maintains secure adhesion across extended periods in varying climate and temperature conditions, with operating temperatures ranging from -20°F/-29°C to 250°F/121°C.
Each case contains 12 rolls of 3-inch width by 36-yard length tape with 7-mil thickness. The skip-slit liner design ensures ease of application and handling. The formulation does not contain antimony and offers superior conformability to bond over difficult textures, uneven surfaces, and curved applications. With high tensile strength and excellent tensile properties of 2080 oz/in, this tape provides the reliability and performance demanded by aerospace and industrial applications.
