Commercial, Business and Military Aircraft and Aerospace industries

ZOTEK® F, ZOTEK F® HT and ZOTEK® F OSU are a range of lightweight, cross linked, closed cell foams based on Kynar® PVDF Fluoropolymer (poly vinylidene fluoride) with densities ranging from 30 kg/m3 (1.9 pcf) upwards. They are intended for use in the commercial, business and military aircraft and aerospace industries.

See Technical section for more information

ZOTEK® F and ZOTEK® F HT Lightweight PVDF Foams are recommended for thermal and acoustic insulation that must meet stringent Radiant Heat Panel requirements.

Key features:

• Outstanding fire, smoke and toxicity (FST) performance
• Comply with radiant panel requirements - FAR 25.856 (a) App F Pt VI
• Excellent chemical, temperature and UV resistance
• OEM approved (BMS 8-371D, NATO, NASA)

ZOTEK® F - Lightweight PVDF foams

Applications:

• Thermal & acoustic insulation
• Window seals: potential weight saving (<50%)
• Scientific tool box packaging

ZOTEK® F HT - Lightweight PVDF foams

The ZOTEK® F HT grades offer an additional operational temperature limit of 160°C, an improvement of +50°C over the ZOTEK® F range. They also offer enhanced chemical and solvent resistance combined with higher levels of structural rigidity.

New technology developed for LP ducting & structural components

Key features:

• Weight saving: < 50% (composite ducts)
• Design flexibility using moulding technology
• Reduction of assembly parts

ZOTEK® F OSU Flexible, Semi-Rigid and Rigid PVDF Foams are recommended for applications that must meet the OSU* 65/65 requirement

New ZOTEK F OSU Foams Exhibit very low OSU-Heat-Release Values

ZOTEK F OSU - flyer

Key features:

• Exceptionally low OSU* ratings - FAR 25.853 (d)
• Ability to form & design complex shapes

Applications

• Soft trim with leathers, textiles and decorative laminates
• Low FST cores for composites & divider panels
• Carpet underlay
