AIRCRAFT INTERIOR PLASTICS
Thermoplastic LEXAN™ sheet portfolio for aircraft interior plastics provides lightweight and exceptional FST (fire, smoke and toxicity) performance. POLYVANTIS aircraft interior plastics can help aerospace customers meet the critical challenges of weight-out, regulatory compliance, sustainability and improved flying experience. These innovative plastics, together with the company’s advanced material technologies, can help global aircraft OEMs (original equipment manufacturers):
- Reduce weight significantly which may conserve fuel and lower emissions;
- Meet tough FST regulations;
- Reduce overall system costs;
- Enhance the safety and comfort of the cabin environment.
LEXAN™ sheets for aircraft windows
LEXAN XHR5000 sheet, utilising a new copolymer formulation for added opacity, was designed for multi-layer aircraft window shade systems requiring advanced flame-smoke-toxicity (FST) properties and high opacity. These aircraft windows help improve comfort in the cabin environment with a high-quality appearance and enhanced room darkening properties. Supplied as a white pigmented cap layer over a black base, the aircraft windows are engineered as a robust yet lightweight substrate to be laminated with decorative films and then thermoformed.
