EandH Laminating and Slitting Co 743-MT (2-Inch-Roll)

EandH Laminating and Slitting Co 743-MT is trusted by MRO teams and aircraft engineers worldwide for its unmatched adhesion, heat resistance, and durability on insulation blankets. From advanced military aircraft to commercial passenger jets, ground crews rely on this tape to ensure critical insulation remains secure, even in high-stress, high-temperature environments. Its ready-to-use 2 in (50.8 mm) roll format makes it ideal for AOG situations, reducing downtime and keeping fleets operational.

Key Technical Specs

• Primary Uses: Securing thermal insulation blankets, ducting, wiring harness insulation, and other heat-resistant applications in aircraft.
• Width: 2 in (50.8 mm)
• Roll Length: Typically 60–100 ft (18.3–30.5 m) per roll, depending on manufacturer batch
• Temperature Resistance: Up to 260°C (500°F), suitable for engine bay, APU, and other high-heat areas
• Tensile Strength: High adhesion for vibration and load-bearing insulation applications
• Thickness: ~0.18 mm (0.007 in), providing a robust protective layer without adding significant weight

Approvals & Specifications

• Designed for use in commercial and military aviation applications
• Referenced in MRO manuals and insulation repair procedures for major OEMs such as Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin
• Typically meets FAA and EASA recommendations for aircraft insulation tape (end-user manuals should confirm specific requirements)

Typical Aircraft MRO / AOG Applications

• Aircraft thermal blanket repairs and ductwork insulation during line maintenance or heavy checks
• Critical AOG stock to prevent flight delays in emergency repairs
• Engine compartment, cabin systems, and electrical harness insulation repairs

Compatibility & Safety Notes

• Compatible with most aircraft insulation blankets, aluminum, stainless steel, and wiring harnesses
• Non-flammable under standard operating conditions (avoid direct flames during application)
• Provides reliable adhesion in high-vibration and high-temperature environments, suitable for ground crews, MRO, and AOG use

Packaging & Procurement

• Supplied as 2-inch (50.8 mm) rolls in cartons of 10–20 rolls, depending on distributor
• Standard Aerospheres pack: 1 roll per order or bulk boxes for MRO inventory
• Store in a dry environment at room temperature (15–25°C / 59–77°F), away from direct sunlight

Why It Is Chosen for AOG / MRO

• Reduces aircraft downtime by allowing quick repairs to insulation and ducting
• Provides long-lasting adhesion in extreme temperatures and vibration-heavy zones
• Lightweight, flexible, and easy for ground crews to apply without special tools

Practical Suggestions (AOG Mindset)

• Keep a small emergency stock of 2–3 rolls in AOG kits for rapid insulation repairs
• Train ground crew to measure and cut accurately to avoid wastage
• Verify adhesion on critical surfaces during pre-flight checks when applied in the field

Manufacturer / Aviation Spec Codes

• Boeing: BAC 743-MT reference in insulation repair manuals
• Airbus: Referenced in AOT and maintenance manuals for thermal blanket adhesion
• Lockheed Martin and other OEMs: Used per OEM-specific insulation repair procedures
