Applications - PT FirstOne® and Aircraft Construction
The highly efficient construction material for innovative fire protection shows its strengths in practice.
To ensure fire safety in aircraft, parts and components in both the cabin and the cargo hold must meet minimum fire safety requirements.
The concept of PT FirstOne® is completely new.
PT FirstOne®, our material with very good insulation properties and excellent fire protection properties, is optimally suited for use in aircraft construction.
In addition to the protective effect required by law, they also enable design aesthetics that are unsurpassed in this field.
PT FirstOne® - superior fire protection
The extremely high fire resistance, even at temperatures up to 1500°C, combined with excellent thermal insulation and low weight predestine PT FirstOne® for components with the highest requirements.
A further problem with regard to fire safety in recent years is the widespread use of high-energy lithium batteries and fuel cells. The use of these and other high-voltage components leads to a variety of new fire safety challenges.
A whole range of factors – including different battery technologies and capacities, the position of the battery in the aircraft and the fire scenario in the individual case – also play an important role.
Of great importance here is the aspect of insulation from the cabin space. Since the battery modules are partly installed close to the passenger compartment, separating and insulating materials must be used to guarantee the integrity of the passenger.
Design freedom
Other advantages compared to other, similar materials are the low weight, the ease of processing and the design freedom that allows any geometric shape.
Security
The extremely high fire resistance, even at temperatures up to 1500°C, combined with excellent thermal insulation and low weight predestine PT FirstOne® for components with the highest requirements.
Regulations and standards
The absolute non-hazardousness for humans makes PT FirstOne® a perfect material for aircraft construction, both for conventional and novel applications.
