Western Filament Aerospace Lacing Tapes

Western Filament’s aerospace lacing tapes are engineered for demanding environments where secure, lightweight, and heat-resistant cable management is essential. Manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards (ISO 9001, AS9100), these tapes are braided from high-tenacity fibres and available in a range of materials and finishes to meet military and commercial aerospace specifications.

Lacing tapes come in a range of materials:

Nylon: Braided with high-tenacity nylon yarns, impregnated with various finishes. Operating temperature: –67°F to +325°F (–55°C to +162°C). Available in natural and black; other colours on request.

Polyester: Offers excellent mechanical stability and chemical resistance. Operating range: –100°F to +350°F (–73°C to +177°C). Meets A-A-52081.

Nomex®: Braided from aramid fibres, ideal for high-temperature and flame-resistant applications. Rated to 500°F (260°C). Meets BMS 13-54. Available with or without tracers for visual identification.

Teflon® (TFE-fluorocarbon): Exceptional resistance to fuels, oils, and vacuum conditions. Operating range: –100°F to +450°F (–73°C to +232°C). Available uncoated or with synthetic rubber for knot strength.

Teflon-Coated Fibreglass: For extreme environments up to +800°F (427°C), with low outgassing properties for space-rated use.

Widths range from 0.040" to 0.225", with break strengths from 15 to 200 lbs depending on type and size. Spools available in 250 or 500-yard lengths. Standard finishes include synthetic rubber, wax, silicone, and uncoated, meeting specifications such as A-A-52080/81/82/83 and BMS 13-54.

Western Filament’s lacing tapes offer proven performance in aerospace wire harnessing, providing long-term reliability under thermal, mechanical, and chemical stress.

Aerco's commitment to quality is underscored by its AS9120 and ISO9001 certifications.  By supplying Western Filament's lacing tapes, Aerco continues to support the aerospace industry's demand for reliable and compliant cable management solutions.
