Technical Data Sheet

Product Description

3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8673 and 8673DL are made from an abrasion-resistant polyurethane

elastomer that resists punctures, tears, abrasion and erosion. These products are formulated for long-term

resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light. 3M 8673 Tape and 3M 8673DL Tape provide a simple, easy method of

protecting a surface from abrasion and minor impact damage. They can be installed in a minimal amount of time

with simple tools. They may be painted or applied over painted surfaces. 3M 8673 and 8673DL Tapes are

constructed with a durable, solvent-resistant, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that is protected with an easy-

release liner. In addition, 3M 8673DL Tape is supplied with a top liner used as an aid for wide web applications.

The top liner is removed after installation.

3M 8673 and 8673DL Tapes are available in transparent versions only. 8673 Polyurethane Protective tape is for

erosion protection that is not installed on a heated substrate or component.
