GE Plastics has introduced three new high-tech materials to its
growing portfolio of high-performance resins for the aircraft
interiors industry: GE's Ultem(1) 9085 resin, Noryl(1) LS6010 resin,
and Lexan(1) FST9705 resin. Combined, these unique materials offer a
variety of customer benefits for an array of aircraft interior
applications.
Ultem 9085 Resin Raises the Bar for Aerospace Industry Compliance,
Top Performance, and Outstanding Customer Benefits
To help the aerospace industry boost fuel efficiency, performance,
and safety, GE Plastics today announced new flame-retardant Ultem 9085
resin for aircraft interiors. This new material offers better flow and
ductility than GE's Ultem 9075 resin - the previous industry standard
- to enable thinner-wall parts with excellent impact strength. Further
comparing the two materials, new Ultem 9085 resin can reduce part
weight by 5 to 15 percent via thinner walls, supporting the goal of
lower fuel consumption. At the same time, Ultem 9085 resin delivers
the highest modulus of any Ultem resin grade, providing enhanced
stiffness to ensure excellent application durability. These greatly
improved properties make the new GE product a top choice for demanding
applications such as decompression grilles, window reveals, and
personal service units.
Low-Smoke Noryl Resin Provides Low Specific Gravity, Superior
Non-Halogenated Flame Retardance, Low Smoke Properties, and Toughness
GE Plastics also launched its new Noryl LS6010 resin offering
aircraft OEMs and suppliers an advanced, high-tech solution to the
challenges of compliance with toughening global flame, smoke, and
toxicity requirements. In addition, Noryl LS6010 resin has a specific
gravity of 1.1, which is one of the lowest available for
thermoplastics used in aerospace. Its light weight characteristic,
combined with extremely low smoke performance, exceptional durability,
and non-halogenated flame retardance (FR), make this innovative new
material a superior choice vs. many competitive materials for interior
aircraft applications, such as rub strips and seat track covers, where
low smoke propagation is mandated. It is available from GE Plastics in
custom colors. Now, aircraft suppliers and OEMs can simultaneously
improve safety compliance, weight reduction, and design freedom - with
one unique resin."
Lexan FST Resin Provides Unique Combination of OSU 55/55
Performance, Bright White Colorability, and Ductility for Thin-Wall
Parts
GE Plastics also introduced Lexan FST9705 polycarbonate (PC)
copolymer, a totally new resin platform to help OEMs and aircraft
interior suppliers achieve weight-out and cost-out goals without
sacrificing processability. Complementing GE Plastics'
high-performance Ultem* PEI flame-retardant resins, this new material
gives designers a fresh solution to today's stringent performance,
regulatory, and aesthetic requirements. Lexan FST9705 resin is an
excellent candidate for such applications as personal service units,
window reveals and bezels, and provides a unique combination of
advantages: full flame/smoke/toxicity compliance including OSU 55/55
heat-release performance; molded-in color including bright whites; and
the ability to produce ductile, thin-wall parts that can contribute to
fuel conservation through lighter weight.
GE's Ultem 9085 resin, Noryl LS6010 resin, and Lexan FST9705 resin
are available globally.
