Avery Dennison provides a variety of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape solutions for use in aerospace applications, including bonding, vibration and masking.



Bonding solutions must meet demanding aerospace standards

Aerospace industry engineering requirements for materials are typically quite demanding. This is understandable, as those materials can have a significant effect on passenger comfort.

Bonding solutions must pass flammability requirements and resist a wide spectrum of temperatures. They must also be as light as possible to help the aircraft meet fuel consumption targets. Avery Dennison tapes for aerospace meet or exceed these requirements. 

Common applications include: 

  • Bonding of flexible plastic films to various rigid surfaces, including aluminum, painted surfaces and substrates with differing surface energies.

  • Bonding of carpeting to interior surfaces. Tapes allow easy removal of carpeting during aircraft refurbishment.

  • Bonding and seaming of thermal and acoustical insulation materials. 

  • Encapsulation of wire harnesses to protect from abrasion and high temperatures and limit movement. 


Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape advantages for aerospace

  • Lightweight and easy to use
  • Bond effectively to a wide selection of substrates used in aerospace
  • Excellent resistance to chemicals and weathering
  • Perform well in extreme temperatures


Featured products


FT 1143

FT 1143

FT 1143 is a 3.1 mil transfer tape with a general purpose plasticizer resistant acrylic adhesive and a polyester liner. The adhesive bonds very well to vinyl, rubber, and mildly plasticized materials as well as foam and the liner.

Key benefits
  • Conformability
  • Bonds well to PVC and mild plasticized materials
  • Excellent moisture stability and die cutting properties with good converting performance

HPA 1905

HPA 1905

HPA 1905 is a 4.9 mil transfer tape with a high performance acrylic adhesive and a polyester release liner. It bonds well to medium and high surface energy plastics and metals.

Key benefits
  • Highly conformable to curved or irregular surfaces
  • High holding power to high and medium surface energy materials
  • Excellent moisture stability and die cutting properties with good converting performance
  • Two-year warranty

FT 1165

FT 1165

FT 1165 is a single-liner transfer tape of Flame Tough™ Acrylic, recommended for applications with flame retardant requirements.

Key benefits
  • Enables composites to pass UL®  94 and other flammability requirements
  • Bonds well to low surface energy substrates and foams
  • Easier processing for lamination and die cutting
