3M Aerospace has launched a new easy-to-apply solution labeled the 3M Removable Gel Tape for aircraft floorboards to safeguard the aircraft substrate against corrosion. The removable gel tapes function as excellent sealants and offer protection from corrosion when they are fixed beneath the floorboards on top of the aircraft floor beams. The tapes thus eliminate the need for costly repairs and help avoid the aircraft from being out of service.
