GE’s Resin for High-Performance Textiles and Nonwovens Targets Key Trends in Aircraft Interior Applications

Upholstery, Kick Panel, and Carpet Applications from Lantal Textiles for the Aircraft Industry

Lantal Textiles, a leader in the design, production, and distribution of textiles and services for the international community of operators of aircraft, buses, trains, and cruise ships, is working with GE Plastics’ to develop an aircraft interior kick panel that specifies fabric incorporating fibers made from Ultem* resin. The kick panel is the fabric in the above photo that comes up about eight inches from the floor. Not only does the GE resin provide inherent flame retardance without the use of brominated additives to meet regulatory requirements, but it also provides excellent UV resistance. Tests have shown that fiber made from Ultem resin resists UV degradation much more effectively than competitive materials. BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — April 4, 2006 — GE Plastics today announced a major breakthrough in fiber technologies made from the company’s high-performance Ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) resin with inherent flame retardance to help address a number of challenges facing the aircraft interiors industry. When converted into fibers for textiles and non-wovens, GE’s Ultem resin offers suppliers and OEMs new solutions for critical issues such as compliance with stricter flame, smoke, and toxicity regulations, system cost reduction, and greater design flexibility.
