LEXAN F8000HR Sheet – Lightweight Thermoplastic Sheet Meets OSU & FST Requirements

Adding to its robust portfolio, POLYVANTIS will introduce a new thermoplastic sheet product unlike anything else on the aircraft interiors market: LEXAN F8000HR Sheet. Based on LEXAN PC sheet technology and reinforced with glass fibers, LEXAN F8000HR sheet offers unrivaled performance, and value compared to other fully FST-compliant aircraft interior materials. This new sheet meets OSU (CS 25.853) and FST (FAR 25.853 (d) + App.F Part IV) requirements, making it an ideal choice for applications required to meet stringent fire resistance standards. LEXAN F8000HR sheet also exhibits exceptional thermoforming capabilities and boasts a lighter weight than other OSU-compliant materials.

ULTEM 1668A Sheet - Engineered for Multilayer Excellence

POLYVANTIS is proud to reintroduce ULTEM 1668A sheet to its portfolio. ULTEM 1668A sheet is an extruded polyetherimide sheet specifically designed for aircraft interiors applications. With a legacy spanning over 30 years, ULTEM sheet materials are relied upon for some of the most strenuous applications in aviation. ULTEM 1668A sheet is used in engineered applications requiring a multilayer approach for demanding interior applications due to its tremendous strength and compliance with common flame resistance, anti-smoke, and anti-toxicity standards. The sheet is lightweight, opaque, and fully compliant with OSU 65/65 heat release criteria, and FAA NBS smoke and flammability testing criteria.
