Fully compliant, pearlescent aviation sheet
Introduction
KYDEX® FST03 is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic sheet formulated to meet all Boeing and Airbus toxicity requirements for aircraft interior components. Its integral pearlescence adds a new dimension to aviation interior design.
General
Information
KYDEX® FST meets all flame, smoke, and heat release requirements set forth in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d) as well as toxicity requirements for Airbus (ABD003) and Boeing (BSS7239). Its excellent thermoforming characteristics make it an ideal material for three-dimensional components where pearlescent design effects are desirable.
Suggested
Applications
- Seat parts
