Abstract:
1. An aircraft component wherein the component is a partition or a light cover, and wherein the aircraft component is molded or formed from a thermoplastic polymer composition comprising: a siloxane-containing copolymer in an amount effective to provide a total of 0.2 to 6.5 wt % of siloxane units based on the total weight of the polymers in the thermoplastic polymer composition, a bromine-containing polymer in an amount effective to provide 9 to 13 wt % of bromine, based on the total weight of the polymers in the thermoplastic polymer composition, and optionally a third polymer comprising carbonate units, imide units, etherimide units, arylene ether sulfone units, arylene ether units, or a combination thereof, wherein the wt % of the siloxane-containing copolymer, the bromine-containing polymer, and the optional third polymer, sum to 100 wt %, and 0.05 to 10 wt % of a light diffuser additive, based on the total weight of polymers in the thermoplastic polymer composition; wherein the thermoplastic polymer composition is free of copolymers comprising carbonate units and ester units; and wherein a molded or formed sample of the thermoplastic polymer composition has a transmission of 20% to 90% or a haze of 70% to 99.9%, each measured using the color space CIE1931 (Illuminant C and a 2° observer) at a thickness of 3.2 mm, an OSU integrated 2 minute heat release test value of less than 65 kW-min/m an E662 smoke test Dmax value of less than 200 when measured at a thickness of 1.6 mm.
