Divinycell is used in first and business class seats as well as lavatory interiors, galleys, luggage bins, and window frames for the Airbus 350 XWB. Divinycell F is also used in many other aircrafts from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. Divinycell F saves up to 20% weight compared to Nomex honeycomb, which translates into substantial cost savings. Divinycell F minimises the need of labour intensive, and therefore costly, putty, sanding and sweeping steps to achieve a high quality surface finish. Featuring closed cells and minimum water absorption, Divinycell F also eliminates the need for edge filling. Many panel designs even incorporate Divinycell F as an edge close-out material for honeycomb. Divinycell F withstands high temperatures and exceeds by far all requirements for aircraft interiors when it comes to Fire, Smoke and Toxicity (FST). It also scores far below OSU Heat release requirements. Other benefits of a foam core are improved acoustical and thermal insulation properties compared to honeycomb. Divinycell F adapts to multiple production processes, such as hot and cold forming as well as compressing into different geometries. It is also easy to machine Divinycell F into complex shapes, which gives great design freedom compared to any other material available on the market. www.diabgroup.com
