Aerospace Qualified Tapes
- Specialty Tapes for Aerospace Applications
Space-qualified specialty tapes are a category of adhesive tapes specifically designed and manufactured for use in aerospace environments. These tapes are subjected to rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they can withstand the extreme conditions of space, including vacuum, flammability, radiation, and extreme temperatures. They are used in a variety of space applications where traditional tapes or adhesives may not perform adequately. The tapes are also lightweight to reduce fuel consumption of aircraft and save space.
