Helping aircraft OEMs meet new heat release compliance challenges
Article Type: Materials From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 80, Issue 5
SABIC Innovative Plastics recently introduced the Lexan XHR6000 (extremely low-heat release) sheet to help aircraft manufacturers meet safety, aesthetic, and performance requirements in business- and first-class seating and other interior components, while at the same time improving passenger comfort. This new product is stated to fully comply with the Ohio State University 65/65 standard and flame/smoke toxicity regulations, avoiding the need for waivers, and providing better weight-out for fuel economy than traditional polyvinyl chloride (PVC/acrylic) sheet products.
