Development of Lightweight, Fire Retardant, Low Smoke, Thermally Stable, High Strength Floor Paneling: Passenger Floor Panels

摘要

A fire retardant, low smoke-emitting, thermally stable, light weight sandwich paneling, suitable for high traffic flooring on a passenger aircraft, was evaluated. The material is of sandwich panel construction, with graphite face sheets (a phenolic-vinyl resin) and honeycomb core. The lower side of the paneling is coated with a Fluorel elastomer L-4805, which provides an additional fire barrier, as well as reduced noise transmission.
