New materials offer reliable performance

Specialty Fabrics Review | October 2009

New Ultem* composites, foam and fiber offer advanced materials technology for years of reliable performance. Target markets include flame-retardant fabrics, ultra-lightweight aircraft interiors, state-of-the-art radomes and other high-end products requiring outstanding performance. The resin-based fibers help manufacturers meet stringent aviation and transportation safety requirements, in a range of applications from carpet to fabrics for seating and wall coverings. Ultem foam delivers impressive weight savings; rigid foam with a uniform cell structure is recommended as a structural core in multi-layer systems. Three different densities are available, as foam boards suitable for a number of composite manufacturing applications.
