Polyken 108FR Flame Retardant Aerospace Carpet Tape – When Safety Meets Performance

In the aerospace industry, every component used inside an aircraft must meet the highest safety and performance standards—down to the tape used for interior installations. That’s why professionals across major aircraft manufacturers rely on Polyken 108FR Flame Retardant Carpet Tape for its superior strength, safety compliance, and ease of use.

Built for the Demands of Aviation

Polyken 108FR isn’t your average carpet tape. It’s a flame-retardant, cloth-reinforced adhesive tape engineered specifically for aircraft interiors, where strict regulations and performance expectations intersect.

  • FAR 25.853(a) Compliant – Meets FAA flame resistance standards with a burn length of just 4.5 inches, making it suitable for use in commercial aircraft cabins.

  • Aggressive yet Repositionable Adhesive – Offers a secure bond that holds strong during use, but is also repositionable during installation for a clean, precise fit.

  • Cloth Reinforcement – Provides excellent tear resistance and dimensional stability, ensuring the tape stays intact under pressure and during removal.

  • Clean Removal – Leaves minimal residue on most surfaces, reducing clean-up time during refurbishments or reinstallation.
