A Thermoplastic Particle Foam for Aviation Interior Sandwich Composites

July 23, 2024 |

Evonik Operations has developed a novel thermoplastic rigid particle foam that meets the strict FST and heat release requirements of large aircraft interior components as per FAR 25.853.

In addition to its proven fire resistance as a pure foam and within a sandwich composite system, the new material offers efficient manufacturing of 3-dimensional geometries and opens new possibilities for direct function integration.

Agenda: 

  • Manufacturing process of thermoplastic particle foams
  • Sandwich composite component requirements of commercial aircraft interior structures (e.g. FST, Heat Release)
  • Function integration into net shape molded foam parts (e.g. inserts)
  • Potential use-cases in fire critical applications
