In aerospace and high-performance industries, wiring bundles, harnesses, and electrical assemblies must be secured with materials that meet rigorous specification requirements. Our Boeing-specific product line delivers flat braided lacing tapes engineered to the exacting standards of modern aircraft electrical systems. These tapes offer premium durability, clean-profile bundling, and long-term performance in demanding environments.
The Boeing-Specific category reflects our commitment to supporting aerospace OEMs and Tier suppliers with materials that interface directly with Boeing specification sets, providing traceable, controlled options designed for critical infrastructure.
Below are two key products: one made from Nomex® (a high-temperature meta-aramid fiber) and one from polyester, each suited to different performance requirements.
1. Boeing Specification Flat Braided Nomex Lacing Tape BMS13-54
This flat braided Nomex tape is manufactured to meet Boeing’s internal specification requirements (Type III, Grade D, Finish C, Class I), with cross-tracer included.
Key Attributes
-
Substrate: Nomex (meta-aramid fiber) braided into a flat tape
-
Available widths: approximately 0.075″ and 0.110″
-
Nominal thickness options based on width
-
Wide range of color availability
-
Flat, braided construction for uniform bundling
Applications & Strengths
-
Ideal for zones where high temperature and flame resistance are essential
-
Suitable for internal wiring bundles, avionics harnesses, and aircraft systems requiring premium insulation
-
Flat braid format provides a low-profile bundling solution for tight routing channels
Why Choose This Tape
-
Chosen when specifications call for Nomex-based lacing materials
-
Excellent fire, heat, and durability characteristics
-
Color variety supports wire identification, inspection, and system organization
-
Manufactured specifically to Boeing-aligned specifications, reducing risk of non-conforming materials
Considerations
-
Higher cost relative to polyester options due to its advanced material properties
-
Ensure width and thickness match the wrapping approach and available space
2. Boeing Specification Flat Braided Polyester Lacing Tape (DOF50RFR)
This flat braided polyester lacing tape is designed in accordance with aerospace specification BMS 13-54 (Type I, Grade B, Finish C, Class I).
Key Attributes
-
Material: Polyester flat braid
-
Width: approximately 0.085″
-
Thickness: about 0.014″
-
Roll length: typically 500 yards
-
Wide range of available colors
Applications & Strengths
-
Suitable for wiring bundle lacing in aircraft harnesses where temperature and mechanical demands are moderate
-
Excellent option for designs where polyester meets requirements and cost efficiency is important
-
Flat braid supports consistent wrapping and a smooth, uniform bundle profile
Why Choose This Tape
-
Ensures compliance when BMS 13-54 is specified
-
Long roll lengths support efficient production
-
Broad color range enhances identification and zone marking
Considerations
-
Polyester has lower high-temperature endurance than Nomex; verify operating environment
-
Proper wrap tension and technique are important for maximum performance
How to Decide Between the Two Options
When choosing between Nomex and polyester flat braided lacing tapes, consider the following factors:
-
Temperature and fire performance requirements
-
Nomex should be used in high-temperature zones or where flame-resistant materials are required
-
Polyester is suitable for moderate-temperature environments
-
-
Specification compliance
-
Determine whether engineering drawings specify BMS 13-54 (polyester) or a Nomex-based requirement
-
-
Bundle geometry and wrap profile
-
Both options provide a streamlined, compact finish; selection depends on material performance needs
-
-
Cost vs. performance
-
Polyester offers a strong value for standard environments
-
Nomex provides premium performance where required
-
-
Production considerations
-
Roll length, handling characteristics, and color coding all influence manufacturing efficiency
-
Summary
Our Boeing-specific flat braided lacing tapes are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern aerospace electrical systems. Whether selecting the high-performance Nomex flat braid or the versatile polyester braid, each tape offers:
-
Aerospace-aligned material manufacturing
-
Flat braid construction for compact, consistent bundle wrapping
-
Wide color availability for identification and process organization
-
A range of performance levels to match environmental, mechanical, and thermal conditions
In applications where bundle security, reliability, and long-term service life are non-negotiable, selecting the correct lacing tape is crucial. These Boeing-specific lacing tapes provide the performance foundation needed to maintain integrity throughout the full lifecycle of aerospace electrical systems.
