Low heat release, compliant aviation sheet for backlit applications
Introduction
KYDEX® 7115 Lumina™ is a PVC/PMMA product that allows light to pass through the material, while silhouettes are still visible. KYDEX® Lumina™ meets stringent FAA compliance for heat release and smoke density. The product allows design freedom in aircraft interiors with our Infused ImagingTM technology to diffuse or disperse light to create effects. KYDEX® Lumina™ has contact clarity: one cannot see through it unless it is illuminated from behind or in a well-lit space.
General
Information
KYDEX® Lumina™ is designed for backlit panels and decorative accents in aviation interiors. It meets flammability INFORMATION and smoke development requirements outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 paragraph (a) and (d).
