SABIC Innovative Plastics’ High-Performance Lexan* XHR Sheet for Aircraft Interiors Now Available with Decorative Surfaces from Boltaron
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 30, 2008 – In an effort to improve the air travel experience for customers, designers are looking for new ways to enhance comfort and ambiance in aircraft cabins. Boltaron Performance Products, LLC has collaborated with SABIC Innovative Plastics to create new aesthetic choices for Lexan* XHR6000 sheet, under the brand Boltaron 9915 FSTH¹ sheet. Because the sheet products are constructed using SABIC Innovative Plastics’ high-performance material, they are ideal for aircraft interior components that must comply with flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) requirements and the Ohio State University (OSU) 65/65 standard. Decorative effects and textures – such as metallic, wood-grain, pearlescent and carbon-look surfaces that are offered by Boltaron – complement the cost-effective, standard colors and textures of Lexan XHR6000 sheet available from SABIC Innovative Plastics.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 9, 2008 – In the quest to reduce fuel costs, airlines are scrutinizing every component of a plane for potential weight reduction. Now, with today’s launch of Ultem* foam from SABIC Innovative Plastics, aircraft designers can leverage the best-in-class flame, smoke, toxicity (FST) performance of Ultem polyetherimide resin in a new product that is 10 - 20 times lighter than traditional plastic components. Ultem foam is an ideal core material for composite structures such as luggage bins, galleys and lower wall panels (also known as dado panels). The development of Ultem foam demonstrates the company’s global leadership in engineering thermoplastics, strong market insight and long history of breakthrough ideas.
