Aircraft seating with Ultem fibres

Superior performance at a lower weight and lower cost can be achieved by airlines with Ultra-ProTechtor from National Nonwovens – a new single-polymer fire-blocker for aircraft seating dress covers.

The lightweight nonwoven flame barrier employs Ultem polymer and newly-developed Ultem fibres from Sabic Innovative Plastics.

“Ultra-ProTechtor is engineered to provide ultra-flammability protection with superior performance at a lower weight and lower cost,” says Anthony Centofanti, CEO and President at National Nonwovens. “Although initially designed for the aerospace market, it can also greatly benefit other modes of transport requiring fire-blockers.”
