Low K Aircraft Foam
DESCRIPTION
Thermal and acoustical insulation products fabricated from fire-resistant, lightweight polyimide foam.
- Open-cell foam available as thermal and acoustical insulation for fuselage, bulkhead, cockpit, duct treatments, and pipe applications.
- Claredense is a densified foam designed for use as headliner padding and carpet underlayments.
APPLICATIONS
- Headliner padding, carpet underlayments.
- Aircraft bulkheads and fuselages requiring lightweight thermal and acoustic treatments.
- Ducting where noise attenuation is needed.
- Combined with vapor-barrier jacketing, it can be used in areas requiring moisture management.
- May be used in areas requiring sound transmission-loss treatments when combined with Claremont's Coustifab products.
- Pipe insulation for potable water systems.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
- Lightweight polyimide foams offer densities as low as 0.33 PCF. This translates to increased payload and greater fuel efficiency.
- Polyimide foam is inherently fire resistent; very low smoke developed; no significant toxic offgassing.
- Extensive testing completed.
- Numerous configurations available to meet specific needs including sheet, pipe covering, molded, densified, cut-to-shape, and bagged.
- Numerous facings and jackets available including fiberglass cloth, MYLAR, aluminized MYLAR, KAPTON, and aluminum foil.
- Polyimide foam is flexible and resilient from -300°F to +600°F.
- Maintains integrity even after long-term vibration.
- Improved habitability— Polyimide foam is non-fibrous and halogen free; no special handling is required.
