Fluoropolymers help Europe’s aerospace sector meet demanding requirements for safety, reliability and efficiency. Their resistance to heat, fuels, aggressive fluids, humidity, vibration and compression helps protect critical aircraft components and extend their service life.
They also support innovation in aircraft design, manufacturing and connectivity, including lightweight systems and high-performance components used in both civil and defence aviation. Examples include:
Release films for aircraft manufacturing
Used to produce composite aircraft components where heat resistance, strength, chemical resistance, transparency and non-stick performance are required.
In-flight connectivity
Fluoropolymer-based cable antennas and lightweight coaxial cables support communication and internet access in aircraft without adding unnecessary size or weight.
