Grade 249 is crosslinked and displays even higher resistance to solvents and the absorption of moisture. F is a flame-retardant, colored polycarbonate sheet product which meets the manifold fire safety requirements for materials used in aircraft interior trim. It is used for tables, armrests, seat lining, light covers, and emergency lighting systems. It can therefore be employed for components with a larger surface area. It is mainly used for door and door frame panels, monitor housings or cockpit trim.
All products are easy to process and lend themselves readily to thermoforming.
It is used for example in helicopter body parts and air ducts. Owing to the unique combination of impact resistance and high elastic modulus, its typical field of application lies between that of inexpensive but heavy metal and extremely lightweight but expensive composite components. Its products and services are available throughout the world and are employed by many multinational, innovative companies.
