Insulation and Safety

In aerospace applications, insulation and safety are top priorities. Polyurethane foams provide thermal and acoustic insulation while offering excellent impact resistance. With the need to meet stringent fire safety standards, our foams are engineered to perform under extreme conditions, ensuring the safety of both passengers and crew. From insulation for walls and ceilings to vibration control and padding, our polyurethane solutions are specifically designed for the aerospace industry's demands.

Passenger Cabin Walls & Ceilings

NCFI’s InsulThane provides high-performance thermal insulation and acoustic properties, helping to maintain comfortable cabin temperatures and minimize noise levels.

Flight Deck Pads

In the flight deck, vibration control is essential to minimize cockpit noise and improve comfort for pilots. Our foam solutions helps absorb vibrations, reducing fatigue and enhancing operational performance.

Gap Management

Polyurethane foam is used in gap management to effectively fill spaces between components and reduce friction. This improves component alignment, prevents damage, and ensures passenger safety.

Comfort

Comfort in the aerospace industry is paramount, not just for passengers, but also for the crew. Our flexible foam systems offer significant benefits in providing comfort and support in seating systems, armrests, and headrests. These foams can be engineered to provide long-lasting cushioning, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the flight.

Seat Cushions

Our high-resilience foam ensures seats remain comfortable for extended periods and help absorb shock and turbulence, contributing to a safer and more comfortable experience.

Armrests & Headrests

IntegraThane foam is ideal for aircraft armrests and headrests. Its unique combination of a durable skin and a flexible core ensures long-term comfort and support while maintaining shape retention even after prolonged use.

Vibration Dampening

NCFI’s InsulThane offers excellent vibration control and impact resistance in passenger cabins and flight deck pads. Our foam can reduce noise and fatigue by absorbing vibrations, providing a smoother ride for all on board.

More Aerospace Applications

Beyond the applications highlighted above, our OEM polyurethane solutions can be customized for an even wider range of décor and design uses. Our team will work with you to develop the right foam formulation for your unique needs.

The Advantages of Polyurethane in Aerospace

Durability

Our polyurethane systems provide excellent strength while maintaining a low weight, ideal for aerospace structural components.

Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

We’re known for our superior insulation properties, helping maintain temperature regulation and reduce noise levels within aircraft cabins and other areas.

Shock Absorption

Polyurethane foam absorbs impact energy, enhancing the safety of seating systems and other critical components during turbulent or emergency situations.

Fuel Efficiency

NCFI's SPF systems offer a significant reduction in weight without compromising strength or durability, improving fuel efficiency and overall aircraft performance.

Environmentally Inert

Our Aerospace grade polyurethane foam are HFC-free, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.

NCFI’s Polyurethane Systems for Aerospace Applications

NCFI’s InsulThane, ComforThane, and IntegraThane are formulated for maximum reliability in aerospace applications. Each series provides a tailored solution depending on your specific needs — whether it’s the lightweight insulation from InsulThane, the high-performance seating from ComforThane, or the integral skin solutions from IntegraThane.

InsulThane

InsulThane is a dual-component, water-blown polyurethane foam system designed for insulation in aerospace applications, offering reliable performance across low-density formulations.
