SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Ultem* Foam Offers Lower Weight and Unmatched FST Performance to Aircraft Interiors
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 9, 2008 – In the quest to reduce fuel costs, airlines are scrutinizing every component of a plane for potential weight reduction. Now, with today’s launch of Ultem* foam from SABIC Innovative Plastics, aircraft designers can leverage the best-in-class flame, smoke, toxicity (FST) performance of Ultem polyetherimide resin in a new product that is 10 - 20 times lighter than traditional plastic components. Ultem foam is an ideal core material for composite structures such as luggage bins, galleys and lower wall panels (also known as dado panels). The development of Ultem foam demonstrates the company’s global leadership in engineering thermoplastics, strong market insight and long history of breakthrough ideas.
